The US Air Force B-1B Lancers arrived at İncirlik Air Base on Tuesday, October 31, for a "hot-pit refuel" as part of a long-planned task force training mission, which has nothing to do with the conflicts in the region.
In his statement regarding the refuel, 9th EBS commander, U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Ryan Stillwell said, "The teamwork with our Turkish Air Force partners showcased the interoperability and professionalism of NATO aviators."
