They're aiming for spring, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Probably more like May or June.

I think the b21 is the tip of the iceberg.

WTH was that they were testing or operating over edwards last night 9/28/16. 8:30pm-9:40pm?

That was um....very intetesting. And they had two of them!

What was so interesting Bass ?

Anyone see Ash's remarks recently?

And then there are other things you also won't see, because we like to have some surprises, also, for potential adversaries. But they fly around and they train here as well.

Full remarks here

Project 21 is only one spool, there are many things we haven't seen.

I am just looking at this going... Mmm how will USAF command screw this up...

What over the top ridiculous thing are they going to want on this that either...we dont have the software for... or we dont have the hardware that can handle the software.

But I may be bitter... I just have zero faith in the Air force's ability to not screw this up.

They're at the end of their straw as well and really need this project to go well. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the B-21 comes in under budget on top of having the unheard of capability we've discussed here. They really need a win and no one knows that better than the folks procuring it.

Let's say I've got more than zero faith.
