The B-1B has a radar cross section sitting between the F-15 (larger) and the F-16 (smaller). It was designed with early generation radar evading technology.

I seem to recall when Jimmy Carter cancelled it and then saw a cartoon in the paper with little ugly Amy on a swing with ropes down from the nose tip. Pretty funny. My guess is they’re still using this for crap shows like this because it’s too difficult staging B-2s to do it.

It’s stealth is the ability to fly supersonic below radar.

With modern missiles and bombs, it never has to enter NK air space.
