"MOMENTOUS OCCASION - Former B-2 Chief Test Pilot Bruce Hinds speaks during Friday's 20th anniversary of the B-2 stealth bomber's first flight. The event was held at Northrop Grumman Corp.'s facility at Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale. The Spirit of Louisana B-2 sits behind Hinds and the B-2 stealth bike, dubbed "The Spirit of Innovation," created by the TV reality series "American Chopper" for the anniversary, sits in front."

Only 21 were made. One crashed. One is in a non-flyable condition sitting in the Wright-Patterson Air Force Museum.
Only 19 are flying. The article is wrong.

Got to go to Palmdale Saturday and see this. It is awesome!I didn’t get to see it in the air but I did previously at the Mirimar Air Show in San Diego. A spectacular piece of engineering!
