A U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress bomber, assigned to Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, is parked on the airfield at Naval Support Activity Souda Bay, Greece, Nov. 2, 2019. The B-52, on its return flight from participating in joint NATO exercises, was diverted to NSA Souda Bay due to adverse weather conditions. The unexpected visit marked the first time a B-52 landed at the NSA Souda Bay airfield. NSA Souda Bay is an operational ashore base that enables U.S., allied, and partner nation forces to be where they are needed when they are needed to ensure security and stability in Europe, Africa, and Southwest Asia.
