Just got this awhile ago on my church prayer list, wondering if it is related to this story?

----------

Please put my nephew, Justin G., on the list for prayer. His B-2 bomber crashed last night in Guam. Both pilots ejected safely. The other pilot has already been released. Justin is the pilot that remains hospitalized. Back injury is what I have heard - usually from ejection. This was to be the return flight from Guam after 4+ month deployment. Thanks, James C.

Yes, one of the aircrew had a compression injury to the back from the ejection. Not uncommon in these cases.

This article confirms a pilot of one B-2 (not sure if same B-2) is named "Justin," and also states that the B-2 that crashed was the Spirit of Kansas.
