They did move the inlet from the center of the wing to the top. But closer to the German design than to the B-35 / 49.

A pilot and a dog:

The pilot is there to feed the dog. The dog is there to bite the pilot if he touches anything.

I was lucky enough to see the B-2 flight leaving Whitman in the pre-dawn with we hit back after 9/11. I did not post about it at the time as loose lips etc. but I stopped my car on the shoulder, got out and shook my fist in the air with a shout. I was amped.

I was stationed at Whiteman when the first B-2 was delivered in 1993. It was impressive to watch then, and I’m still super-impressed when I see it.
