A B-1B Lancer assigned to Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene experienced an in-flight emergency early Tuesday afternoon and made an emergency landing at Midland International.

Emergency responders were on site when the bomber landed, and the four crew members were not injured, according to a press release from Dyess' public affairs office.

There weren't any munitions on the aircraft, which will remain at the Midland airport until it can be safely returned to Dyess.

In the interim, base personnel will be responsible for the "safety and security" of the B-1B, according to the release.
