A Royal Air Force F-35 Lightning II assigned to RAF Marham, England, is refueled by a KC-135 Stratotanker assigned to RAF Mildenhall, England during a training mission for Bomber Task Force Europe on September 16, 2019. During this training mission two RAF F-35s also flew in formation with two F-15 Eagles assigned to the 48th Fighter Wing, RAF Lakenheath, England and two B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers assigned to the 509th Bomb Wing, Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. Bomber missions like BTF Europe, help familiarize aircrews with air bases, airspace and operations in different geographic combatant commands. These multinational missions strengthen professional relationships and improves overall coordination with allies and partner militaries. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Thomas Barley)
