Flying at extremely high altitudes, the B-2 Stealth bomber has been at the forefront of setting great expectations. Part of the 509th Bombing Wing at Whitman AFB Missouri, these bombers are tasked with flying extreme distances. During bombing runs over Afghanistan, B-2's were flying halfway across the world and back incurring 36-hour long missions between a crew of two. High over the Nellis Range Complex, two B-2A 'Spirit' stealth bombers await clearance to drop precision guided weaponry.
