Stealth ping.
Thanks to the EA-6Bs providing SEAD and some inept Iraqi search RADAR operators.
The building of the B-2 is probably the biggest waste of money in the history of aviation, possibly of any defense related project. The R&D going into to it is not wasted but the building of the bomber is a total waste.
It was a Smithsonian Facility. I saw this plane with my own eyes... touched it. See my other post. They did restoration work there for the air and space museum. I believe everything has moved to Reagan Airport.
Thank you. And we’ll never see another one produced.
The Horton was not designed until the early 1940s, not the “30s”. and it was only the prototype. If the war had gone on for a couple of more years, it may have seen combat. Of course, Berlin would have been nuked by B-29s before that.
