Last month, a B-1B Lancer assigned to the 412th Test Wing’s 419th Flight Test Squadron, Global Power Combined Test Force, flew a mission carrying an inert JASSM under an external pylon for the first time. The external captive carry flight, that took place in the skies over Edwards Air Force Base, California, saw the JASSM mounted on the forward right hard point, usually used to carry the SNIPER ATP (Advanced Targeting Pod).
