I Fly in the B-2 Stealth Bomber!

UPDATE: Since filming, the B-2 was used operationally to strike Iranian nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer—a powerful reminder of the aircraft’s strategic role and the Air Force’s global reach. I recently got the privilege to fly in the illustrious B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber in celebration of its 30-year anniversary. I was only the 820th person to do so, and one of the few civilians ever granted access to the secure flight line and cockpit. In this Telly-award winning episode, I discover firsthand how the dedicated women and men of the U.S. Air Force maintain a state of constant readiness, prepared to respond at a moment's notice. The B-2, a symbol of American military prowess, continues to serve its vital role even as the U.S. Air Force prepares to welcome the next generation B-21 Raider into their fleet in the coming years. Special thanks to the women and men of the Air Force Global Strike Command, 509th OG, 509th BW, 393rd Bomb Squadron, Bandit and all the other Air Force personnel who took part in this flight, and to Northrop Grumman.
