There's only one B-2 stealth bomber on public display in the world. Here's where I saw it.
A wider look at the B-2. Talia Lakritz/Business Insider The National Museum of the US Air Force in Ohio has the only permanent public exhibition of a B-2. B-2 planes are known for their stealth technology, long flight range, and nuclear capability. The plane on display at the museum bears remnants of the ground-based testing it underwent. I never thought I'd get to see a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber in person. The advanced warplanes, which cost around $2 billion each, can evade radar detection and drop tens of thousands of pounds of nuclear or conventional weapons. They were deployed in Operation Epic Fury , the US and Israel's joint operation targeting Iran, in March. US Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that B-2s dropped "precision penetrating munitions on Iranian underground facilities."
