As part of Operation Odyssey Dawn, the US Air Force also deployed three B-2 stealth bombers from March 2011, including the Spirit of Pennsylvania, to enforce the no-flying zone over Lybia. 93-1087 was the penultimate of 21 Spirits delivered and as the first aircraft received the emblem of the newly founded Global Strike Command. Designed to meet a need for a heavy bomber capable of penetrating sophisticated anti aircraft defenses, the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit first flew on July 17, 1989. This aircraft uses "low observable" stealth technology and is capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear weapons. Though designed for Cold War applications, it has seen modern use in Serbia, Iraq and Afghanistan. At $737 million each (in 1997 dollars), the first B-2s were a notoriously expensive aircraft, and only a fraction of the initial 132 aircraft that Congress planned to purchase were eventually obtained. Today, just 20 of these aircraft are flown by the USAF. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
