B-2 Spirit Bomber (1988-89)

Also known as the Stealth Bomber. News archives from the 80s of this monstrous flying object. A sure sign of American power. ("Its combat debut was during the Kosovo War in 1999. It was responsible for destroying 33 percent of selected Serbian bombing targets in the first eight weeks of U.S. involvement in the War. During this war, B-2s flew non-stop to Kosovo from its home base in Missouri and back.")

The old day`s when a billion was a billion. Hell Oprah could buy the whole B2 program today, and still have a shit load left over at that price. But remember there is, `NO INFLATION`.. :)

I love that the star image at 0:11 is composed of five bombers.

Just like the aurora stealth aircraft now. It`s not been unveiled, but its vapour trail has been spotted and no doubt a ton of "ufo" sightings will be down to it.

I graduated High School in 1991. I was one of 12 valedictorians. During my senior year the teachers with the LAUSD(Los Angeles Unified School District) went on strike for higher pay and held my grades hostage. They refused to submit my grades to the colleges I applied to unless the Union got a raise. My entire speech at the graduation ceremony was about the B-2 bomber. It came with a one billion dollar price tag and the government ordered 100 of them. I kept mentioning what if they only ordered 99, just one less bomber and gave the money to education instead. I made some people mad, others where cheering. But most just sat there.

Now they just retired the B-2 bomber and the fighter. What a waste.

Oh and your comment is wrong about it debut in combat in Kosovo in 1999.

They tested the B-2 in the Panama invasion in 1989, then the it was used in the first gulf war in 1991. Get your facts straight.

jmillion:
The fighter was a glorified prototype and still served for 15-20 years until replacements came along. The bomber won`t be retired for a long time and is a solid and servicable long range bomber.

As for the cost, the Spirit was astronomical - 2 billion in 1997 dollars (!) for each plane built, and most likely not worth it. But what you`re saying about buying 99 instead of 100, the procurement already went from 132 to 75 and eventually to 20. After you`ve paid for something like that to be developed (some 30 billion in 1997$) you may as well build *a few* and eventually 21 were built including the prototype, totalling around 15 billion 1997$

Saying that some money could have been spent on one thing over another is hardly putting together a budget.
