Nice for flyovers. There’s a reason the B-52 and B-1 are still very strategic and useful. Stealth is great but stealth in 1997 is obsolete now.

The B-2 has issues.

Issues fixed by the B-21, which I am pretty sure I saw getting moved on the ground one day. I suppose it could have been a B-2, but it looked off.

They’re flying, anyway.

In high school, I had the privilege of seeing a B-52 fly over at no more than 500 feet, with the bombbay doors open.

Impressive sight for a high school kid.

Stealth is great but stealth in 1997 is obsolete now.

True but outside of stealth, the B-2 can carry two 30,000lb GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (likely two for balance).

The B-1 is the most awesome bird in our inventory. It just says F*** you, we’ll decimate your ass. Personally been close to one of them, I had a strange sense to salute.

So the physics used in 1997 are obsolete today? Ever heard of AHFM? You may want to read up on it. They all have it now.
