Barksdale completes Large Force Departure

A seventh B-52H Stratofortress takes-off during a Large Force Departure, at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., March 10. Aircrafts from the 2nd Bomb Wing’s 20th and 96th Bomb Squadrons participated in the training event formerly known as a Minimal Interval Take-Off, now called a Large Force Departure. Each B-52 launched approximately 30 seconds after it’s predecessor showing the crews how to handle turbulence in the wake of other aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Joanna M. Kresge)
