Reporter-News Archives Friday, September 14, 2001 B-1s from Dyess resume training Reporter-News Staff Report B-1B bombers at Dyess Air Force Base resumed training flights Thursday afternoon. B-1s and C-130 transport planes at Dyess and military planes elsewhere were grounded Tuesday after terrorists crashed commercial airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. While B-1s resumed flying, C-130s remained on standby. Two C-130s have left Dyess to perform missions related to the attacks. Base officials declined to give details about the missions. Dyess stepped up security measures after the attack. Additional safety measures the base may be implementing include limiting access points, 100-percent identification checks, searching vehicles, increased patrolling, erecting concrete barriers at the entrance and parking vehicles away from sensitive buildings. Base officials have asked that people who do not work, live or have business on base stay away.
