The most awesome aircraft in the world today is the Northrop B2 Spirit ’stealth bomber’. Public appearances are rare and much of this footage is unique.

Our cameras flew air to air with the B2 en route to RAF Fairford to demonstrate its firepower to the world’s press prior to the Kosova campaign. We show remarkable Air Force footage of a live attack with 16 precision guided bombs.

We traveled to its home base at Whiteman, Missouri for their airshow and also cover the B2 visit to Mildenhall with some close-up ground action.
