B-2 Bomber On Mail Call Tonight

Today (June 10th) "At Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, host R. Lee Ermey gets to do something only a few hundred humans have done before him--take a ride in a B-2 Stealth Bomber on a mock bomb run! The Gunny sets the stage for his historic flight by giving us the facts and stats on what makes the B-2 the greatest bomber in the history of aviation. Then, we go along on Lee's pre-flight training as he prepares to get airborne. From the cockpit, he shows viewers what it's like to fly in a stealth bomber. The Whiteman crew the Gunny flies with are part of the 509th Bomber Group, the same squadron that flew the first atomic bomb missions back in World War II. In his tribute to the 509th, the Gunny shows how the Enola Gay and other bombers got the mission done."

Should be cool for the people who are interested in stealth and the b2 bomber i will be watching.

I dont think the history channel can tell us, here at the ATS anything we dont know, but thanks for the link.

Cool the 509th the first A-bomb run EVER and it will carry out the last A-bomb run too.
