Above the left wing is the number \"13\" and above the right wing are the letters \"BS\" in white embroidery.\" 13th Bomb Squadron (13 BS) \"Grim Reapers\"\"Constituted on June 14, 1917, The 13 BS is one of the oldest units in the U.S. Air Force, and has been engaged in every major conflict - World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Global War on Terrorism - in which the U.S. Air Force, or it\'s predecessors, have been involved.
Today, its aviators and support personnel continue to provide worldwide combat capability and perform in high and low altitude, day or night missions to ensure maximum combat readiness, while maintaining a deployable combat force capable of projecting B-2 global firepower at a moment\'s notice, anytime, anywhere. The U.S. Air Force performs almost 1,000 flyovers each year, to include air shows, national-level sporting events, and events supporting a patriotic holiday. Flyovers are fully functioning training missions, designed to maintain the lethality and readiness of Air Force pilots and maintainers; they are conducted at no additional cost to taxpayers and are incorporated into existing flying schedules.
T-38s performing flyovers play a vital role at Whiteman AFB, where they provide the needed training to keep pilots mission ready for flights in the B-2 \"Spirit,\" America\'s premier strategic stealth bomber and one of the world\'s most advanced aircraft.\"
