B-2 bomber crash at Guam

Back


This is edited together from US Air Force video and reconstruction animation of the Northrop Grumman B-2 crash at Guam on February 23, 2008. The crash was caused by moisture in the air-data pressure sensors - a known problem, with a known fix that was never written down

Most Likely Pilot Error he pulled up too early and and too hard, and as you see the speed decrease he went below 120 which defiantly will cause a stall in a B-2 and he wasn't able to recover.

wow hes got balls to stay in so long.

the pilots got out like 20 microseconds before the thing bit the dust


....the only thing that beats a b22 is - pilot and machine error.

The B2 is so expensive because of the huge R&D cost which was divided among only 20 planes, rather than the 200+ they had planned.

Thats the trade off for stealth, really bad flight characteristics.
