Royal Air Force station in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
Royal Air Force Fairford or more simply RAF Fairford is a Royal Air Force (RAF) station in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. Since 2019, the base has played host to a Lockheed U-2S Dragon Lady detachment from the 99th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron. It is the USAF's only European airfield for heavy bombers and routinely supports Bomber Task Force operations. Its most prominent use in recent decades has been as an airfield for United States Air Force B-52s during the first Gulf War in 1991, the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the 2003 Iraq War, and the 2026 Iran war.

Quantity is among the basic classes of things along with quality, substance, change, and relation. Some quantities are such by their inner nature, while others function as states of things such as heavy and light, long and short, broad and narrow, small and great, or much and little.
