The Unbelievable Power of The B-2 Bomber

Radar technician: Sir, that sparrow has been traveling at 600 mph at 25000 feet for the last 2 hours. General: Don't worry about it

I just love how you're showing different cockpits in every shot. At 2:08, you show a B52 cockpit At 2:32, you show an A330 cockpit At 5:52, you show a B1 cockpit At 5:58, you show a 747-100 cockpit At 6:29, you show a KC-135 cockpit You literally haven't showed a B2 cockpit in a video about the B2, and instead decided to display five completely unrelated cockpits. Edit: To all of you saying it's really hard to find photos of the cockpit, just search it up. There are loads of them. Even if he couldn't use them because of copyright, he could've at least said that they weren't from the B2 to prevent people from being misled.

I remember the first time I saw one in person when I was put in charge to guard one when it came to Fort Campbell KY to avoid the area where it was from a hurricane. It was by far, one of the most amazing things I ever saw.

On 23 February 2008, Spirit of Kansas, a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber of the United States Air Force, crashed on the runway moments after takeoff from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The aircraft was destroyed, both crew members successfully ejected & the accident marked the first operational loss of a B2 bomber, and as of 2023 it remains the only. With an estimated loss of 1.4 billion USD, so there is only 20 in existence still.

Imagine how pristine of a pilot you have to be to get selected to fly that thing. Best of the best.

That $737 million cost includes all of the development cost plus build costs divided by the number of aircraft (21). The actual "flyaway" cost was more like $250 million. The cost to build each additional aircraft. If they had built the planned 132 instead of just 21, the total cost including development of each would have been just $327 million. I actually worked on the the B-2 program and a part I designed is on each one.

Just build some hospitals and schools man.

I grew up in the Mojave desert and saw them in development before anyone knew. I respect and appreciate the experience better now, thank you.

So you're telling me that the clickbait picture of a ton of bombs laid out in front of the B-2 Bomber is the exact same amount that can fit in the bomber at any given time? wow!!! how technology has come so far, and how gravity just doesn't exist when it comes to videos.

Pilot 1: taking a deuce Pilot 2: "We gotta do a barrel roll"

5:44 not just an B-2 thing. I’ve had to do this for O-flights with C.A.P and this is probably used in every training mission that the Air Force dose.

I was amazed when a B-2 made its way to a small airport near me years ago. Usually handles puddle jumpers and small jets. And also B-52's

6:10 - When you out of nukes you can still go biological.

Has to be one of the coolest looking airplanes ever built!

I had the awesome experience of going to the air force base they keep all the b2 bombers at in Missouri and we got to go into the plane and talk to a veteran who flew it and did bombing runs! So cool

Saw one of these at an air show in the 90s. It’s really really quiet since the engines are on top.

I live an hour east from Whiteman AFB where all of the B2's are stationed. I was in boy scouts and one of the scout leaders used to be stationed there and we got to take a field trip to the base. Seeing this thing up close is something I'll never forget. Last year I saw one flying over Columbia, MO and you couldn't hear it until it was directly overhead and if you weren't looking up you would've never thought the sound was a plane.

You lost me at the pooping out in the open behind the copilot.

Only one man in the viscosity but also looking away, now that is luxury!

Use to work at Northrop Grumman..the hangers is what I worked on..the jet took a picture of my uncle taking a picture of it..shut his phone OFF and sent the jetpic to the site contact over safety..that's when I knew this things are feared on purpose.
