Why No Nation Wants to Fight the B-2 Bomber
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2021
- The Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is an American heavy strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft defenses. Designed during the Cold War, it is a flying wing design with a crew of two.
The bomber is subsonic and can deploy both conventional and thermonuclear weapons, such as up to eighty 500-pound class Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400-pound B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only acknowledged aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.

Dare I say the B2 looks just as good on the ground as it does in the air. Incredible design.
To think it is the design that they landed on that works the best, after testing any and every other design, shape and material they could think of; just follows the natural arc of science that lands on truth and fact. Just think of all the radar and aircraft detection specialists and experts loaded with the scientific theory of aircraft detection that had to have been involved in engineering and testing different materials and shapes to land on one that creates the smallest signature in the sky.
That weapon delivery system encompassed an exhaustively long list of technical problems to solve, a lot of boxes to tick.
In real life it looks like a sheet of paper flying across the sky and that’s just at certain angles where you could even see it. In the dark forget it you would never know it’s there!
yea, sure..
This is something that was made way too early
Right I don’t understand how other countries can’t replicate it. They literally can see what it looks like
I laugh at the thought of a couple Russian radar operators puzzled at what the perceive to be as a small bird flying over 630 mph.
It's not moving live on radar the next dot could be another bird not the same one
Russia has passive location systems and radars with different wavelengths. Stealth aircraft are built on the X band. Russia still uses the L band and there is stealth aircraft better detectable. Passive systems capture emissions from radio, radar, altimeter and satellite communications. These signals are well detectable in space and with high accuracy the operator sees the target.
Guys, sometimes people make these things called jokes.
@@theclamhammer4447 just like my parents made me?
@@KorbenDalasCZ these systems only work if the aircraft emits radiation. If its under radio silence, these will not work.
My father worked for Lockheed and at one point he was tasked with "running some tests" on the B-2. He said he would stand there for a long time, just staring at it. At one point he needed to walk across the wing. He worked in aerospace for 33+ years and had done that on dozens and dozens of aircraft. He said walking the wing and tail of the C5-A was the scariest one. But when he crossed the B-+2 wing he got goose bumps and shivered. There was no sound made between the ships skin and the protective boots he wore. He said it seemed to give a little... almost like walking on a living animal.
If anyone doubts the US's world leadership in inspiring it's people to be and do their best, I can only shrug and nod my head toward a picture of a B-2, or SR-71.
@CarFreak Lockheed actually designed, laid out and performed much of the flight testing on that aircraft.
@CarFreak trust me bro
@@DNBKINGDNB xD
@CarFreak I worked on the B-2 as well at Hughes GSG. So you may want to park your crap in the car section, freak! lol I also work on the Sea Shadow and made the first model of something called a stealth fighter that the Revell model Co was stopped by the CIA from making 2 years before Testers model came out with there SF. , eventually, the Monogram model Co came out with The F-19 Specter that was based on my model
So you are proud your father armed devils like your goverment ,who kill reclessly without remorse or regret ,
I remember reading a story about the development process, and Jack Northrop was there when it took it's maiden flight. Following years of controversy and negative press after the failed YB-49 project, finally seeing his design take flight, he said "Now I know why God has kept me alive this long."
The technology finally caught up to help manage this advanced platform, and he got to see his vision become still the most advanced bomber in the fleet.
Jack Northrop, Kelly Johnson, and very few others share a special place keeping this country at the top of the list for innovation and invention. Northrop's vision truly was 50 years ahead of its time, and I'm happy he got to see it fly in his lifetime. An inspiration to many.
Oh, and if politicians and bean counters were just keep their nose out of decisions on making advanced weaponry, we would be a long, long way of any adversary
Correct me if I’m wrong, but was it Kelly Johnson behind the SR 71 and if so, if people would look back on the history of how our politicians stopped and advanced aircraft, they produced look at his history and what his next project was going to be one politician didn’t like That the Air Force liked him better than the politician so he went roundabout and killed the SR 71 project by having all the forms and molds for the aircraft body destroyed and essentially stopped him from creating I think was the SR 72, which was smaller than the SR 71 and I think it was supposed to be a fighter excuse me if I’m wrong it’s been a while since I read about it
Would you believe it was a South Bay Life Guard, that was able to design this Wing for the B-2 and get it all on a CAD drawing? It was!
I mean defeating radar is quite frankly a guess and check science. This design, stealth, aerodynamics is quality that should trickle down to the damn cars we drive and homes we live in.
My grandfather was on the original design team for the sr71 and got moved to the b2 bomber program. He has a bunch of signed pictures of the test campaign and he was proud of the end result
If that’s the case send me some
@@rrgoody they are signed framed pictures. His most cherished memories.. one doesn’t just take them to give away

Sure he does. You always see claims like this on UA-cam since there's no way to prove it. Well my grandfather was on the plane that dropped the 1st atomic bomb. Then my dad flew the 1st sr-71. And then I flew the 1st f-22. See how that works I can just say whatever I want and you can't prove me wrong.
Quit lyin
i’ve been to several air shows and even when you know its coming, most viewing angles from the ground, make it seem almost invisible even on clear days.
No bs
it’s as visible as a b-52 to a naked eye
Need glasses then
@@JohnDoe-nf6zh Nope, he is correct. It is incredibly hard to see at a distance. It's like a little hyphen in the sky until it's within less than a mile.

I’ve seen one of these on accident flying up above. Just by happenstance since I’m always looking up. It was certainly an extremely rare event. Super cool.
👌🇺🇸
It was caught by salillete many times . It's even on Google earth somewhere. But stealth more refers to its radar signature.
It usually flies over southern California every new year. I have seen it over pasadena California. Really impressive aircraft indeed.
Good thing they’re on our side lol

@@aburetik4866 Shut up, no one wants to hear your nationalist bs. The h20 is still in development and that is if your economy will survive to that point, the US is already developing the b-21 so you comparing your unreleased plane to one that has existed for a long time 😐
@@rodlp1423 H20 is far better than B-21, and will finish development way before B21 which had gone through years of delay. American economy is under massive layoff, inflation and it's on the brink of rapid recession. I wish your economy won't blow up before craps like B21 comes out.
@@aburetik4866 How can you say its better when neither of the two have even entered production? This just proves your only basing your argument on half assed bias, i might as well be talking to a brick wall.

The United States generally has a very stable economy, thats the reason why the US dollar is the most widely used currency. China on the other hand is run by a communist party and if the Soviet Union has taught us anything its that that type of government is always bound to collapse.
I’ve seen these things flying low overhead. Weirdly, when looking directly at it from behind it literally disappeared. Could hear it, but could no longer tell where it was.
But from underneath !
Yeah man I was at an air show a few years back and they had one fly above and it was really hard to spot at first, we could barely hear it, and it just kind of slipped out of view before we even got to mentally process the shape. Honestly a really eerie plane and def responsible for some UFO stories

As an air force radar tech when a f117 (stealth fighter which is really a small bomber)was coming in for an air show we got on a scope to see how good the stealth was. When we turned off the transponder info we couldn’t see where it was at till it landed!!! B2 is even better!
*where it was until it landed.
The B-2 Spirit Bomber is one very amazing aircraft with all of its stealth capability and bomber capability. It had one draw back, it cost a lot money to build and to maintain and operate. As a result only about 20 of these bombers were built.
this is a copy of ho229
Yep and the good old B-52 keeps on going
Only 20 🤣
@@benturp3492 yea and one crashed
You think that's the reason only 20 were built? I don't. I think 20 is all you need and if they need more they'll build them.
I have had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful beast up close at an air show. I also have seen it do a flyby for a Mizzou game. They also did a tribute flyby over major cities in Missouri in 2020 and they flew just about over my apartment at the time. The other time I have seen these beauties was when I was walking down Broadway in Columbia and there was a B-2 flying overhead, essentially straight down Broadway from east to west at ~20000 feet. I just marveled at the sight.

I saw one of these at an airshow. They are spooky quiet on approach. I could hear it once it was overhead, but that's a bit of a moot point since if it passed a target, said target is probably a crater or at least having a horrible time.
This is what's public information. Imagine what they have now that's still classified.
Don't expect too much, they have an evolution of more of the same. For decades the same stuff rolls out, drones, scramjet engines etc and stealth. No technological breakthroughs alas.
@@williamdrijver4141 k
Well the classified thing about stuff like that is how it realy works. Which strength and weaknesses the systems the weapon sytem has, how the radar works, internal computerised processes and so on. So at the end the technical details are highly classified.
At the end they tell you roughly what this thing can do but not how its done so there is nothing realy of any military value what a potential enemy can't easiely gater as intelligence.
Failed to mention that it now carries 200 small-diameter Glide bombs that are precision-guided. Could saturate an entire Battlefield with a single pass. Ref Stormbreaker.
I like it, no sense mowing the grass twice.
Source? I only found 80.
"Northrop Grumman is converting the B-2 bomb rack assembly to a new ‘smart’ configuration, which will increase the number of JDAMs which can be carried to a maximum of 80. The aircraft will also be fitted with the joint stand-off weapon (JSOW), joint air-to-surface stand-off missiles (JASSM) and the wind-compensated munitions dispenser (WCMD) and will be able to carry up to 80 115kg small diameter bombs (SDB)."

@@DrKnow-ye6rv So no source, thanks. My source above says 80 SDBs.
@@ThatCarGuy B2 carries 80 500lb. SDBs are much smaller and lighter, allowing a standard load out of 200. Don't be lazy, look it up.
I was standing outside in Missouri near Whiteman airforce base, hearing a very faint buzzing sound above my head, I looked up and there it was, this magnificent B2 flying by very low.
It was an amazing sight, not everyone in the world can see and witness such wonderful design air craft. It was so quiet hovering above your head already by the time you can hear its noise.
It changes mode when it enters heavily defended air space. WOW!That is amazing!

The B-2 has the resilient ability to drop near-precision (GPS guided) weapons at 45,000 feet eight miles from the target and achieve near-precision results. That’s why the enemies are fearful of the war fighting capabilities of this “MONSTER”.
Than enemy will reply with rocket

Saw a B2 turning into Nellis a few months ago. As it turned i got a full cross section of the underside, it just plain blew me away how LARGE it is. To know it's near undetectable is mind boggling.
Saw one of these suckers as we were driving through Missouri. Massive and awesome. It was just flying in circles. It looks like a giant kite, which obviously isn't harmless. If I'm the enemy and I'm seeing this giant kite, I am hiding.
thats the thing. If youve seen it, its either too late or youre in the US.
It's cool to see people still excited over this plane. My uncle, my mother's brother, was one of the test pilots of this plane.
He was a test pilot for the B1 as well and one of the project leaders. Lt. Colonel Leroy Schroeder. He worked on many top secret projects and the only reason I'm sharing his name is because he passed away in the late 90s of ALS. Good friends with Chuck Yeager.

Amazing plane! Always been fascinated with stealth designed planes and their shape.
I was working in Mojave when they were testing at Plant 42. The B-2 stealth would come down into a few thousand feet above us and scare the crap out of us everytime. It was awesome and the only way you could tell was by the chase planes and once the stealth turned was the only time you could really tell what just went by. Had a few helicopters come face to face with us out there as well. Pretty awesome the see the pilot and them wave at you and go over top of you and drop down as soon as they passed.
Soon to be B-21 Raider. Plus the USA successfully tested the Rapid Dragon program a while back. For those not familiar, it is basically using massive military cargo planes to drop pallet loads of missiles out of the back of cargo planes. The missiles are stackable in crates in configurations of 6, 9, etc. So imagine one plane dropping 3 pallets of Tomahawk cruise missiles out of the back and all 27 of them launch out of their crates and head for an enemy target. It doesn't matter how heavily contested the space is, they will likely get through air defenses. Multiple cargo planes could drop several pallets and hundreds of missiles together if need be. That would take out known air defenses and bombers do the rest.
This video was clearly well-articulated and put together professionally. Did you notice Dick Cheney in the right seat? I remember in the mid-80s when a small picture of the B- 2 bomber was Illustrated in the Washington Post. It didn't look like an airplane at all.
My first encounter was a flyover before a Kansas City Chiefs football game. It was over and gone before we knew it was there. I got goosebumps.
Was part of the SRT team on the north end of the flight line the day it first landed at Whiteman. Now long retired, get to watch it fly over my farm all the time.
Back in '93 I had the privilege to tour the B-2 assembly facility. It looks so small when flying, but that is one monster of an airplane !
This continues to be such an awesome weapons platform. It will be so nice to have this augmented with the development of the B-21 Raider which I hope is produced in numbers far superior to the 20 B-2's currently in service.
Five are on their way.

the Serbian was able to detect and shoot down an F117, with triangulation and weather radar!!! this B2 Bomber is only used against Insurgent, against a modern nation it is useless!!
@@Ezekiel903 Not at all. The Serbs were lucky in our complacency, running multiple sortis on similar flight paths they learned our patterns during the campaign. The B2 is a one off first strike platform. They would never operate in an active battle space, at that altitude and routine manner like that F117 was doing.
During 1999 bombing of Serbia, Serbs used old but effective system of detecting incoming bombers. They successfully knocked down f117 stealth bomber that was supposed to be "invisible". I bet they can put the b2 to the test as well 😉😉😉.
Actually, the B2 was bombing the Serbs without any problems. the USA won the war.
I saw this beast at Andrews AFB during its 50th anniversary. It swooped in without a sound like others have mentioned, and left the same way! An F-117 was on the tarmac with a perimeter set up around it. A sign was on the roping. It said: "Do not cross this line or you WILL be shot."
seen it and the F-117A plenty of times...I lived in the High Desert of CA for a number of years just over an hour drive from Lancaster/Palmdale where it was tested...also a next-door neighbor to a Navy R & D base with large bombing ranges...I have seen the Spirit overhead at less than 10k altitude maybe 4k feet above me
I live near Whiteman and see them occasionally, low, slow, it's amazing that they are so far ahead of their sound at mabey 1k feet.

I started the video thinking “hey I see these all the… ohhh that’s why!” I had no idea the base for the B2 was so close and referenced so often. I knew it’s presence obviously as a kid seeing it fly by but didn’t consider MO to be the main home for the B2s (I know NG and Boeing are nearby but good to know we are a target! Thanks UA-cam!)
These things fly over my place quite a bit. Only problem is, by the time I hear one, get up go outside to see it, it's already gone unless I'm already outside, or if it's flying low which they do sometimes.
I was able to see 3 fly right over me as they landed in Missouri. Such a beautiful sight.

A cool relic from America's technological superiority 30 years ago! I saw one of these in a museum and it was very neat.

Whiteman isn't the only place you get to see them. I live in CA near Lockheed and we see them often as well as other stealth aircraft. F22's and F35's are fairly common and before they were dropped we saw the F117's regularly. Out of all I miss seeing the SR-71's take off.
I was fortunate enough to see it IRL during an air show and damn its big and beautiful.
It’s actually alot smaller up close, fortunate to work on it every day
Just very happy to be an American. I'd say imagine seeing that come at ya but you'd never even know it hit you. I had one fly rt over me at about 2000 ft and I could hardly see it. So quiet to. Crazy cool aircraft
These are amazing to see. I use to live in Colorado Springs and once and awhile yous see one flying around.
I remember coming back from Colombia Missouri after going atving which was so fun i saw one of those on the highway. cool thing to see in person since u never really see them. i dont think it was during a show there was no other planes out.
I saw one at the Fairford IAT and after it's display it was parked next to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Lancaster bomber, the contrast couldn't be more stark, it looked like nothing from this Earth.
@@JasonSpitzMI50 Yes it certainly gives that impression.
That’s because It’s reverse engineered alien technology.

I was stationed at Whiteman when the first B2 arrived. It was eerie watching it fly over. I remember being so close to it when it finally parked. It looked so awesome.

To think that this aircraft was commissioned in 1997 and it still so stealthy in 2022 is mind blowing. The USA might have some amazing stuff coming soon
B-21 in 2026-2027
German engineers the blue print they steal?
I was amazed to see the design of this airplane, the idea of making it was amazing, it resembled a fierce eagle
What a machine, if you look at it heading at you even without stealth it's hard to see even though it's a big plane, the technology is amazing, I think you'll see this incredible design around for a long time, only updating it's avionics as time goes on.
There's literally only like 6 in service still.
@@skitheface4207 The other 15 are so stealthy the mechanics can barely find them.
@@JamesC696 lol.
It is "stealth" against third world countries.
They are visible like on hand palm in multi-wavelength network of radars.
What amazes is, how Americans still think their stealth actually functions as advertised, and they are proud how much this blood sucking tax money is on maintenance. No one is planning to attack you, ever. It’s freaking counter productive, “hey, wanna get into a huge amount of debt, let millions die and maybe start WW3 against someone so far away, owh and if we lose, there is a high chance I might die”.
What an exceptional piece of engineering the B-2!
I was at Edwards Air Force Base when the B-2 made it's maiden flight from Plant 42 in Palmdale California to Edwards Air Force Base.
I still have my letter that was carried in the bomb bay.
This is considered old. Just blows my mind! Can only imagine what they have in store now.
The best things about this aircraft we will ever know and so won’t any of our enemies !💥
I agree.
Except China because they have infiltrated our tech companies and stolen state secrets. They have copies of our blue prints to build our aircraft. Only thing they are lacking is our engine's. China is our greatest threat to national security
@@travish3756 thank bill Clinton and Hilary
@@travish3756 Are you really believing in that?
I was able to tour Whiteman AFB and see the B-2 Spirit on the tarmac. Impressive sight to behold! Our tour guide was one of lead mechanics servicing the B-2 fleet. He told us they don't hang out with the pilots. They just maintain and make them ready to fly! It's strictly pro. We also saw the "boxes" that the drone operators get locked into to fly their toys in the Middle East and beyond.
Now really. You really expect us to believe there's tarmac on an
air force base? The 'planes would sink to their hubs on
even moderately warm days.
@@joeharris3878 "Tarmac" is a generic term used to describe SURFACES found at airports, military bases, and on taxiways and runways. If you want specifics, the damned plane was parked on CONCRETE, not asphalt, when I was looking at it. Is that f**king good enough for you?!
@@joeharris3878 One would think Whiteman AFB ought to have a more modern paving material - such as concrete.
@@schoolssectionOr asphalt. Some years ago I read there
was only one airport with scheduled commercial air aerie in the world. I in Scotland.
Would need year round cold tempatures.I don't know if Americans know what tarmac
is. TV news here picked that up from BBC I guess, back in the 1980s.
I love seeing this beauty when it flies over Arrowhead Stadium on game days.
Love how UA-cam has been pumping war and military videos in my feed for the past year and a half or so. Something is gonna be going down
What pisses me off is that humans can achieve something like this but we can't figure out how to get along with each other.😔
Unfortunately as long as three humans exist, one will always want to control the other two.
Are we just going to ignore every other creature on earth that also violently competes for food, territory, sex and resources?
Glib comments about "muh evil humans" are so ignorant and tiresome.
I saw one flying in the eighties. one night while lifting weights on my parents patio I could see the outline of a strange plane with no blinking lights. the plane was oddly shaped and very quiet years later when they went public with the planes I knew what I had seen. read later they had test flown these planes at night over the state I lived in.
The night of 9/11 my family and I were outside looking into the sky, because for the first time in a long time there were no planes in the air. When we turned to go inside I hear what sounded like rushing wind, without the actual wind. I looked around and up to see a shadow in a triangular shape fly over head. No lights just the shadow it cast from the flying in front of the stars. I was in awe because I knew it was a stealth, patroling the skies to keep the U.S. citizens protected from the potential of another attack. I have since been in love with flying and wished I could have joined the airforce. To this day chills run up my back thinking about it.
I've look at pictures/videos of this jet a hundred times and only just now noticed it has no tail wing.
Saw one of these at an airshow in the UK years ago, did 2 fly pasts and was very impressive. Very thin head on and really quiet.
When I was growing up, my family lived under the takeoff path of a Strategic Air Command base. I can confirm that B52s are NOT quiet.
When those bombers were put on high alert they would takeoff in succession and literally rattle the house. Of course we didn’t live too far from the end of the runway.
@@Dweller415 obviously they were loud taking off 🙄
@@Dweller415 ,
I had an Auto repair shop on Las Vegas Blvd. North, back in the 70s & early 90s, we used to watch the B-52s, C-5s, and C-130s taking off from Nellis AFB, I don't know why they didn't fallout of the sky, lol.
As an ex maintainer on the B-2 living with tinnitus and hearing loss I can assure you… they’re absolutely loud XD. COMPARATIVELY though they are quieter than most jets. I remember changing parts during a red flag where a bunch of fighters did full takeoff burns… even with double hearing protection it was so loud I thought my brain was going to explode
@CuriousAboutTheWild Hey, whatever country you live in, How does it feel to be less powerful than the U.S?
Imagine being the badass thats sole purpose is to operate this insane piece of equipment.
And I bet he can’t tell a soul about it
Narrator: Will never be tested in nuclear conflict it was designed to fight....
B-2: Hold my beer
Its sweet when i realize its a modernized ver off the flying wings.
Edit 1: and the owner off flying wings is in heaven seeing this monstrous remake off it come to life...
Funny how somthing so large and notable can be so stealthy.
They have unique classified stealth technologies that we never used on any later aircraft. That is part of why they were so expensive, more than $2 billion each.
Could Russian SAM's bring it down to earth.
@CuriousAboutTheWild not sure how that's even remotely related but ok
And you say that as if the American people are to blame. We aren't in charge of the military. That's the government.

I live only 15 minutes from Whiteman AFB. The 509th use our water tower as a practice target. xD Some days they just fly the B-2 in circles above our town. First time I saw one it was directly above the house way up hooked up to a tanker. Once wile I was at the State Fair Community Collage one flew over very low. I mean.. VERY low. We've also been to some of the Whiteman AFB airshows and seen it. For some reason they don't let anyone see it from behind. /shrug
I saw one after a log home restoration down in Missouri, seen wing tip to wing tip. Must of been a couple hundred feet above the trees
8:10
30,000 pound bomb penetrating 200 feet. Holy crap...
And? USA was dropping nuclear bombs on Japan and japan just went "meh if they get near a crowded city we will shoot the plane down", they only gave up when their forces ran from Russian forces swarming china.
Maybe because it can level a city? We are talking about extreme long range with a massive load capacity for conventional and smart munitions as well as being capable of launching cruise missiles and nukes.
Imagine this in combination with the newest hypersonic icbms that cannot be shot down by any known method once launched. They travel 25-35x the speed of sound so they would strike a targeted city like a full minute or more before anyone even heard them cruising overhead. It's insane to think about. Infact they have developed them to enter space to dodge any radar on earth then reenter and make contact within a couple seconds.
@@davidabest7195 Reside in north korea by chance ??
@@davidabest7195 It is insane. But worse. 'normal' ICBMs also travel 25-35x the speed of sound and travel mostly above the atmosphere so you'll never ever hear them along most of their flightpath.
Radar dodging is done by going lower, not higher. By staying lower than ICBMs hypersonics hide behind the horizon for longer. They are detected when they are in line of sight of radar. Only the ground breaks that line of sight basically.
ICBMs can also be detected via satellites. When hyper-sonics are below clouds they cannot be detected. When there are no clouds they are super easy to detect because they generate a lot of heat.
Btw ICBM means ballistic missile, the point of hypersonic weapons is to not be ballistic, making their flightpath harder to predict.
Hypersonics are over-hyped hyper expensive waste. ICBMs are plenty overkill to destroy civilization already. And those are here by the thousands.
@@davidabest7195 The West created Fractional Orbital Bombardment systems 40 years ago. Your nationalistic hard-on regarding stolen antiques is beyond amusing.
Me and a friend use to watch them fly over at night, they came we thought from Batesville Arkansas Air Base, the only way you would see them was when they were backlit by the moon as they were totally blacked out, not even any flashing warning lights.
Oh this was in like the mid 80's

Made in nazi germany
They stole the design
@@rlm2933 No, no, not really. True, the Horten H.18 did bear a KINDA similar visual design, almost everything else is completely different.
While Americans are still amored by old tech. Today, China went and built hypersonics.
@@silveriver9 You literally have that backwards. American doctrine is to scrap all old stuff while Chinese/Russian doctrine is to keep the old stuff in stock. If you’re gonna go with “China good”, at least don’t make it the most blatant lie that goes against both countries doctrine.

I'm glad we have these,
The USAF Museum in Dayton Ohio has one right next to the SR-71. Absolutely stunning sight
My grandpa accidentally saw one of these planes before it was announced to the public, I don't remember what he was doing at the airbase but he was basically just told to not tell anyone and be on his way lol.
In 1999, the B-2 fell into Croatia, and the F-117a fell into a field in Vojvodina and ended up in the Aviation Museum.
What are you smoking? The F-117, yeah, but there was never any B-2 shootdown and the only crash happened far later than 1999, and not in Croatia.
saw one do a fly-by at the nascar watkins glen race many moons ago...wow!!!
It was in Sedalia, MO, probably 20 miles West of Whiteman Air Force base.
From there, these air crafts can be deployed and stayed in the air (with air to air refuelling) to reach anywhere, any corners, in the globe.
Spirits of the braves, protecting freedom!
They are beautiful planes. I live near the airbase in Missouri. From time to time I see them flying over my house :)
