Why U.S. B-1 Bombers are Skirting Around Taiwanese Air Space The U.S. bombers, which had departed from Andersen Air Force Base (AFB) in Guam, headed northwest on a course for the East China or South China Seas. Here s What You Need to Remember: The multi-mission B-1 remains the backbone of America’s long-range bomber force, and the entire fleet of the bombers recently underwent an eight-year-long upgrade as part of the modernization process. It was the largest and most complicated modification performed to date on the B-1 and it gave the flight deck a completely new look.   The skies in the waters around Taiwan have become increasingly crowded in recent weeks, and two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers and a Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) reconnaissance aircraft were spotted to the east of the island nation on Friday. PLAAF aircraft have been encroaching on Taiwanese air space over the past month.
