The B-2 bomber on display at the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton. As expensive and rare as these planes are you wouldn’t think that any of them would be museum pieces, but… here you are.

    That was one of the test articles. They tore the wing off it, and bolted it back on. The repair-patches are less than stealthly.

    Didn’t the prototypes also have non-standard main landing gear off of a 767?

    Is that a real one or the mockup used in devleopment work at Pico Rivera?

    Pat, to teh best of my knowledge, the number one and two B-2’s were brought up to full production standard in the nineties (well, as close as they could get, there’s some “orange wiring” (fight test wiring) that’d take a full and complete disassembly to remove.
