There is only one Sqn of these , 393rd BS of Whiteman AFB Missiouri (which is actually a member of the NATO Tigers) shame they dont paint one of these with tiger stripes lol And to this date still hold the record for longest ever mission. During operation 'Enduring Freedom' they flew for 44.3 hours
@HDaviator You're about 100% off. "Designed and manufactured by Northrop Grumman with assistance from Boeing, the cost of each aircraft averaged US$737 million in 1997 dollars ($1.01 billion today)."
"The total program cost, which includes development, engineering and testing, averaged $2.1 billion per aircraft (in 1997 dollars, $2.87 billion today)." Cheers mate. And its funny how you seem to justify it just because its 1 billion below what I said. Its still 1 billion dollars on a machine that can very easily crash or be shot down and lost forever.
What does criticizing a 1 billion dollar airplane have to do with being a tree huger? Go do a little research on peak oil and you will see why people who justify programs like these go way over my head. Instead of investing those 1 billion in say... I don't know... education ... alternate sources of energy research.. and so on. I don't know, maybe I am just crazy.
@HDaviator - wake up and smell the coffee! This is wonder land and your progresive socialist views are full of crap! Alternate sources is a joke and we can't compete with China in this field. Lets look at resources that are in our country natural gas, coal, oil etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't believe everything Obama tells you!
So just because I don't like 1 billion dollar weapons that makes me socialist? That makes no sense to me. I also don't even know what being a progressive means. The problem with sources like Natural gas, coal and oil, which we are already using btw, is that there isn't enough to power our country at the current rate of consumption. We still need to import energy. I highly recommend you read up on Peak Oil. It has nothing to do with politics.
@HDaviator -Yes, because you’re socialist progressive views are so far fetch your blind to what is happen in the world. BTW the US has enough oil in place that is far greater than Saudi Arabia, Russia etc. We need to drill! Also, Progressive is the same meaning as communist/ fascist/ liberal they keep changing the name thinking they can fool the people! Hasn’t worked and it won’t work!!!
Hmm, this is going to be difficult. Peak oil doesn't mean oil will end, or that we will run out of oil. It just means oil will start to get harder to find and will get allot more expensive to extract. So prices will steadily go up as demand increases over the years, especially with China and India. We have plenty of oil in the Gulf, but do you know how expensive it is to drill 3 miles down? BTW: I don't like Communism... you still think I am a communist?
@HDaviator - Do you understand what "oil in place" means? There is enough oil in place in the US to sustain us for several 100 years. In the mean time we look at low costing alternative resources, but right now we need to drill! Yes I do believe you are a communist/fascist/liberal! It doesn’t matter which one you believe in there all the same!
@Helpinglittlepeople Where do you get your information? If there is enough oil in place, why are we importing oil? You say there is enough oil, but are you taking into account the rise of demand in places like India and China? Just because some oil is being drilled in US territory, it doesn't mean its going to stay in the US. It goes to the country that buys it. BTW, do you even know what fascism is? Those three things don't go together at all. Please do a bit of research.
@HDaviator - you didn't answer my questions "Do you know what oil in place means?" Why would we have to sell to those country's and if we did it would be top dollar!! Yes, I do know what fascism means. Are you a Obama support? If yes, then your a fascism supporter!
This here you guys say new tech maybe in some areas....but look closely this is taken from german airforce. The original aircraft GO-229 which wait a minute is from 1944.....hmmmm USA decided to enhance some features as better tech we have today boys.....its old by new....
suck to be on the ground with a flyin triangle droppin live bombs on ya. but how sick is it to see it taking off and landing at your local naval airbase. the scariest but coolest thing ever!
THIS B-2 STEALTH BOBMER it CAN PRACTICALLY GO INTO SPACE It has a maximum altitude of 50000 ft and drop jdams at the altitude turbulence is not a factor in this aircraft/// there is no way you can reach 50000 ft but have turbulence at 15000 ft this is the most advanced bomber in the world, theres been only one reported crash
World's best bomber, nothing compares.
