March 12 (UPI) -- A U.S. Air Force B-1 Lancer bomber landed in Poland for the first time for a quick refueling exercise on Friday at Powidz Air Base, the Air Force said.
The plane, assigned to the 9th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, executed a "hot-pit refuel," in which it was refueled with engines running and its crew remaining in the cockpit.
