Air Force Lt. Col. Brent Weisner, 93rd Bomb Squadron commander waves the flag and gives a thumbs-up prior to takeoff at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., March 3, 2017. The gestures by Weisner signified the historic nature of the flight which gave Lt. Col. Steve Smith, 93rd BS flight instructor, more than 10,000 flight hours in the B-52 Stratofortress. Smith has more hours in the B-52 than any other current member of the Air Force.
