The U.S. Air Force withdrew all bombers from RAF Fairford on October 4, 2026, following an investigation into a suspected plot to attack the base, according to ABC News and BBC News.
RAF Fairford sits in England and operates under U.S. military authority. ABC News reported the base had previously been used to conduct strikes against Iran.
A formal statement confirmed the aircraft had been redeployed to their home stations in the United States, BBC News said.
The withdrawal came after investigators uncovered what authorities believed was a planned terror attack targeting the installation.
