B-2 Stealth Bomber Crashes

Stealth_2 Reuters is reporting that a B-2 stealth bomber has crashed at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and support crews are based out of Whiteman Air Force Base south east of Kansas City, Missouri. Both pilots ejected safely and are in good condition.

Tulsa seems to be in the occasional flight paths of these modern marvels and some have had a rare treat of seeing the B-2 overhead. Our prayers go out to the two pilots and their famlies back home.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. B-2 stealth bomber crashed at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam just after taking off but the two pilots on board ejected safely, the U.S. Air Force said late on Friday.

"They have been evaluated by medical authorities and are in good condition," the Air Force said in a statement.

An Air Force spokeswoman did not have details about bomber's mission in Guam. The aircraft, which cost almost $1.2 billion each, is based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.
