B-2 Stealth Bomber at the US Air Force Museum - Wright-Patterson AFB, OH

The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit is an American heavy strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft defenses.

 

The bomber can deploy both conventional and thermonuclear weapons, The B-2 is the only acknowledged aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.

 

The B-2 is based at Whiteman AFB just south of "metropolitan" Knob Noster, MO, population 2,700. I had the privilege to "fly" the B-2 trainer with a trainer pilot some years ago while doing USAF Reserve duty at Whitemen as a Colonel.
