Thank goodness the pilots are OK.

I didn't realize that there were only 21 of the B-2's.

It's a bizarre sight to see one fly overhead. Looks like a giant bat!

Well, there goes another billion dollars we'll never see again. Oh, but can you believe they want to spend a few taxpayer billion dollars expanding the MAX system???

Yeah those things are eerie, and darn tootin' expensive.

They ocasionally flew some in and out of Ellsworth AFB outside of Rapid City when I lived in Deadwood, they would circle over the Hills and head back to Minot ... they looked freaky.

Wasn't the price tag on those bad boys around $1 billion PER PLANE?!?

It takes a whole squadron f B 52's to accomplish what 1 B=2 can do. Think of the savings on flight crews and maintenance.

Heck you could have operated a whole squadron of B-25's in 45 for what it cost to operate a F-4 in 65.
