B2 bomber crashes in Guam: First time one has crashed

[Konovalov]

Just read on the news that a B2 bomber has crashed in Guam shortly after takeoff. This is the first time that one has crashed. Thankfully both crew members ejected safely.

This is one hell of an impressive aircraft given that this is the first time it has happened and the fact that both pilots ejected safely. :yep:

I remember when a B-1 crashed in Montana a few years ago ... that was bad enough.

Now we lose a B-2 ... at least the pilots are safe.

The US Navy lost a E-6 Prowler off Guam just 11 days ago ... crew rescued in that one too.

It is a pity that USAF has lost a really great aircraft. :cry: I am glad to hear that both pilots are alive and healthy.
