Two US Air Force supersonic heavy bombers have soared into the Northern Territory amid growing military ties between Australia and the superpower. The B-1 Lancer bombers, known as Bones, flew to the Top End from an Indian Ocean military base to conduct training missions with the Royal Australian Airforce.
"That might include air-to-air refuelling or surveillance data transmission," Commanding Officer at RAAF Darwin Andrew Anthony said.
The bombers will also conduct a missed approach or planned emergency diversion familiarisation training at RAAF Base Darwin.
