At first I was thinking Guam would be too far to actually fly sorties from, but with an 8000miles range, I could see them doing that during Vietnam or some other pacific theater.
The B52s that started Gulf War came from Louisiana. They flew nonstop to the Middle East then returned to their base in the U.S. 35 hours of flight time with no stopovers…
Same. I guess they usually stay at Okinawa, or taiwan or maybe the Phillipines.
or Guam.
