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.\n\nThe post Air Force Accelerates Sending B-21s to Ellsworth appeared first on Air & Space Forces Magazine.",
