USAF launches its final Titan II booster from Vandenberg AFB, Calif. It was the 13th of 14 Titan II ICBMs refurbished for launch duty.
The Air Force plans to add external weapons pylons on the B-1B bomber, both to increase the number of aircraft that can test hypersonic missiles and expand the Lancer’s loadout as USAF transitions to the B-21 bomber.
