and Airman 1st Class Dustin Spring prepare to launch a B-2 Spirit
bomber during a mission here. The B-2s deployed here Feb. 25 to
provide U.S. Pacific Command officials a continuous bomber presence in
the Asia-Pacific region, enhancing regional security and the U.S.
commitment to the Western Pacific. Bomber aircraft have had an
ongoing presence on the island since February 2004. The Airmen
are crew chiefs from the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base,
