Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Flight Lieutenant Christian Pace (left), and Flying Officer Ben Rowe, both air traffic controllers assigned to 452nd Squadron, explore the cockpit of a B-52H Stratofortress at RAAF Base Darwin, Australia, April 6, 2018. A detachment of U.S. Air Force B-52H bombers, aircrew and support personnel deployed to RAAF Darwin to enable the U.S. to train and increase interoperability with Australian joint terminal attack controllers as part of the U.S. Pacific Command’s Enhanced Air Cooperation program, which builds on air exercises and training between the two air forces. RAAF Airmen toured the B-52H to familiarize with the features of the airframe. The bombers are currently deployed to Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, in support of Pacific Command’s continuous bomber presence. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Alexander W. Riedel)
