The latest deployment will test how the bombers can conduct missions out of Fairford, with the airfield acting as USAFE's forward operating location for the heavy aircraft, the release said.

On Wednesday we had 2 fly over our house, earlier this afternoon another flew back to Fairford after it had been to Austria & the Bournemouth airshow.
Yesterday there was a Tweet that two B-52s flew over to Sweden, overflying Stockholm. See: https://twitter.com/nukestrat/status/1565655047580651520 Unclear if another pair there too. Some flew over Estonia and Latvia before turning back to Fairford. Possibly one or more went onto Poland. This morning more tweets as B-52s are "holding" over Jordan and possibly en route to Saudi Arabia. On a quick glance it appears one of them is a plane that went to Sweden.
An official USAF press release issued yesterday about an exercise on Monday; presumably the B-52's "holding" on Sunday were a part. I note it refers to sixteen partners were involved, only three were in airborne: RAF, Kuwait and Saudi AFs: US, partners conduct Middle East BTF through air, land and sea > U.S. Air Forces Central > News
