The Aviationist reports: “Prior to its historic first landing on the Korean Peninsula, the bomber had departed from its homebase along with another BUFF (as the iconic aircraft is nicknamed) using radio callsign HULK 11-12. At a certain point, the formation split (it’s not clear where the other B-52 has landed) and airframe #60-0021/LA flew over the opening of the 6-day Seoul International Aerospace and Defense Exhibition 2023 and also integrated with ROKAF (Republic Of Korea Air Force) F-35A stealth fighters during pre-planned joint drills meant at sending a strong message of deterrence to North Korea.”
The message to North Korea was clear, as the article reports the B-52 was nuclear-weapons capable.
