B-2 Spirit Bomber - Highlights

It is the ghost that carries a colossal punch. The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit features cutting-edge low observable technology, allowing it to bypass any defense system to deliver both conventional and nuclear payloads. The U.S. Air Force initially planned for a fleet of 165 bombers, but only 21 were ever built, making every flight precious. Trace the bomber's global footprint, from its home at Whiteman Air Force Base to strategic forward deployments at RAF Fairford and bases like Andersen and Hickam, all while maintaining its capability through vital Air-to-Air Refueling and rigorous Red Flag training. This is the story of a legend soon to be replaced by the B-21 Raider.
