The 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., completed its first no-notice nuclear surety inspection Nov. 17, but Air Force officials would not say if the wing passed.
It is the first no-notice inspection the wing has completed since Strategic Air Command was disbanded, according to Air Combat Command officials.
In August 2007, Barksdale airmen discovered a B-52 on their runway that had flown from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., mistakenly loaded with six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles — the first of two incidents that led to a period of heavily scrutiny of the Air Force’s nuclear enterprise.
The Air Force inspector general made all NSIs no-notice in June as a result.
