8/3/2007 - SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFPN) -- Airmen
and B-1B Lancers from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, have taken the reins
from the 34th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron here. Since arriving in
July, the 9th EBS has logged about 25 missions, dropping bombs on
enemies throughout Iraq and Afghanistan.
To help ease the transition, the 9th EBS deployed aircrews ahead of
time to work and fly missions with the 34th EBS, known as "rainbow
crews." Rainbow crews also pair new crewmembers with experienced
crewmembers. That way, there will never be a completely inexperienced
9th EBS aircrew in the area of responsibility.
