Nine airmen from Soto Cano AB, Honduras, have deployed as part of Joint Task Force-Bravo supporting post-Hurricane Stan relief efforts in Guatemala. The JTF is based out of Guatemala City’s international airport. Pentagon officials say it has been flying relief operations since Oct. 7, delivering more than 425,000 pounds of food, medical supplies, and equipment.
The Air Force expects to start modifying its first B-52H Stratofortress bomber with new engines and other upgrades later this year, following the successful review of the Commercial Engine Replacement Program’s design.
