A ceremony was held on Oct. 7 at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska for the transfer of four aircraft.
“The E-4B may not function in the same capacity as our bomber force, but it certainly has a role to play within the nuclear enterprise and seems only fitting that it resides within the command responsible for nuclear operations,” said Maj. Gen. Thomas Bussiere, the 8th Air Force commander and officiator of the ceremony.
