Just read an entire Wikipedia page on the B2 bomber. Northrop created all the elements from scratch. Tools, tests, systems, software.

Grew up obsessed with fighter jets and stealth bombers, and it's happening all over again.

Probably going to watch History channel reruns on YouTube in a bit.

Would be surprising if we end up flying B2s over Iran

Yeah to reach underground nuclear labs. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/us-military-assets-missile-launch-sites-iran-fordow

The new B-21 Raider is a good Wikipedia rabbit hole

Read broadly.  Work tirelessly.  Love deeply.

Rabbit hole confirmed.  I pray their OpSec is as good as it was for the B2.  

Also on the other side of the tech curve, I was fascinated with the B-52 growing up.

That’s incredible and the only part that’s sad is I doubt they could do it again.

My geocities page was dedicated to all the skunk works “secret planes”. I feel you.

Also a big fighter jet + B2 fan. 

Sam Eckholm does a bunch of US fighter aircraft videos if you haven’t seen his channel already

Reading Skunk Works and it’s really interesting, have you read it?
