The Air Force is resuming routine flights of B-1B bombers after a two-week grounding prompted by a malfunction of the aircraft ejection system during an emergency landing last month.

“The stand-down allowed the command time to thoroughly evaluate the egress components and determine potential risks before returning to flight,” said a release from the Air Force Global Strike Command.
