Air Force Accelerates Sending B-21s to Ellsworth

The arrival of the Air Force’s B-21 Raider at its first operational base is fast approaching, and the service’s plans for its newest stealth bomber are coming into focus. In an exclusive interview with Air & Space Forces Magazine on June 26, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said plans to bed down the first B-21 at Ellsworth Air Force Base, S.D., in 2027 are on track. The service has even pushed its schedule forward slightly, Meink said, though he would not detail by how much.
