US [B1B] bombers land in northern Sweden for first time
The two B-1B bombers from the United States Air Force landed at Luleå Kallax Airbase for the first time in history on June 19.
The Americans says in a statement that the arrival of strategic bombers to Sweden highlights U.S. and Swedish cooperation and the ability of U.S. Forces to seamlessly integrate with allied and partner nations.
Sweden is on the doorstep to join NATO, only awaiting a Turkish approval.

Last week, the two U.S. B-1B planes made a flyover at Turku air show in Finland together with a Finnish F/A-18 fighter jet. The U.S. planes, however, did not land in Finland.
