Two B-1B bombers have taken off from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam and flew to Osan, South Korea today. The bombers were met by two Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF) F-2 fighters near Japan and the Japanese pilots later handed over the role of escorting the bombers to South Korean and U.S. warplanes.
