B52 bombers conducted a 15-hour long-range mission over Europe and the Mediterranean sea on Tuesday. The United States Air Force planes were escorted by aircraft from Denmark, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy and United Kingdom.
Two of the bombers from the 5th Bomb Squadron with call-signs OKIE01 and OKIE02 left their temporary base at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire at around 9am returning a little before midnight, Wales Online reported.
During the sortie the B-52 Stratofortress aircraft also took part in Close Air Support training alongside the Greek Hellenic F4s.
