An Air Force B-52 bomber from the 28th Air Expeditionary Wing takes off
from Diego Garcia for a combat mission Oct. 22, 2001, in support of
Operation Enduring Freedom. Air Force B-2, B-1 and B-52 bombers have
expended more than 80 percent of the tonnage dropped on combat missions
over Afghanistan. The Air Force has flown more than 600 sorties
including strike missions against al Qaeda and Taliban targets in
Afghanistan. These targets include early-warning radars, ground forces,
command-and-control facilities, al Qaeda infrastructure, airfields and
aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt Shane Cuomo)
