B-2 flies again nearly 4 years after fire
When you've Only Got 20 B-2 Bombers, keeping all of them flying becomes important. When one of a B-2 bomber’s four engines caught fire during what the Air Force called a “routine” engine start while on the ground at Guam’s Andersen Air Force Base in February 2010, the service said it was no big deal.

Four years to fix a war plane. That's cool.
Unbelievable. What has this country come to? Revealing the actual numbers of these jets that should ONLY FLY AT NIGHT should still be classified!
The US has always trumpeted successes and there is always someone leaking something. The first concept/development B2 in 1979 showed prototypes being built (Somewhere in my overdose of files I have a pic). It is a pity that there are a only few that take their secrets to the grave. On such example was a neighbour of my fathers who worked on Convair B36 bombers as an engineer, and a courier to the Pentagon. He never told anything beyond standard operations and pressed several times never said a word. Brian was an excellent example, nice guy and family man. He was also a New Zealander and maybe why he got the job.
U2/TR1 & SR71 ceilings are still classified along with SR REDLINE.

What an important plane. I stood next to one at Edwards years ago, it was behind the rope, its not as big as I thought. In the future flying wing airliners will grace the sky's. Wings Rule!
