USAF B-1B made a fuel stop at the Polish 33rd Airlift Base in Powidz. This has been the first ever landing of the Bone on the Polish soil.

On Mar. 12, 2021, on the 22nd anniversary of the Polish accession to NATO, a U.S. Air Force B-1B belonging to the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, currently deployed to Norway, as part of a BTF (Bomber Task Force), landed a Powidz Air Base. The BONE (from “B-One”) landing in Powidz came from Orland Air Force Station, and conducted interoperability drills with tactical aviation elements of Sweden, Poland, and the Netherlands before landing at Powidz.
