The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit is an American heavy strategic bomber featuring low-observable stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses. A subsonic flying wing with a crew of two, the plane was designed by Northrop, later Northrop Grumman, and produced from 1987 to 2000. With the ability to drop both conventional and thermonuclear weapons, there are twenty B-2 Spirits in service with the United States Air Force, one having been destroyed in a 2008 crash at Andersen Air Force Base. This B-2 Spirit was photographed in flight at an air show at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, in 2018.Photograph credit: Balon Greyjoy
