Rare B-2 Bomber Footage Captures The Beauty of the Sleek Stealth Bomber

Rarely seen footage of the B-2 Spirit demonstrates the grace and beauty of America’s powerful and stealthy bomber

The B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber in flight is an inspiring sight, as this video proves (the accompanying music doesn’t hurt, either). The Spirit looks like a flying carpenter’s square or something Batman would fly. But its looks disguise the aircraft’s graceful moves in the air. And, considering it’s a stealth weapon, disguise is a fitting term.

The Spirit will soldier on alongside the B-52 and forthcoming B-21. It will outlive the B-1 Bone as that jet is scheduled to be retired as the new B-21 takes it place later this decade.
