A B-52 Stratofortress taxis to the runway at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Nov. 3, 2015, prior to a long-range bomber mission to the U.S. European Command area of operations in support of Trident Juncture 2015. During the non-stop sortie, which lasted approximately 26 hours, two B-52 aircrews flew from Barksdale AFB to the exercise area of operations where they executed a show-of-force in Spain, participated in a naval maritime strike scenario, and conducted a large force integration scenario in Portugal. Long-range endurance missions provide bomber forces with the opportunity to maintain readiness and train and operate in various geographical locations and environments.
