Twenty airmen from Los Angeles AFB, Calif., recently got to play a background role on the popular Fox TV show “24,” performing as honor guard members for a May 22 episode. The show’s crew filmed a scene on the flightline at NAS Pt. Mugu, Calif., where the Space and Missile Systems Center and 61st Air Base Group airmen mingled with other military members watching the filming.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
