"rolling out" may be a bit misleading as I think it's not actually coming out of the hanger. They don't want spy satellites to get images.
we shall see
or not
:coolsmiley:
this live stream is kinda surreal.

Remember when the Air Force upgraded the F-16A and pretended it was a new plane and called it the F-161? Me neither, seems like then they just called it the F-16C without a youtube reveal. Maybe it's just because youtube didn't exist then, but I just don't know anymore.
this is not a B-2b.

An oversimplification, to be sure, but it is hardly an original creation. Advances in computing power allow for amazing scalability.
yes, form follows function.

Yep, you called it. No other form could fulfill that function, and all future bombers will look like this. It's the way aviation has always gone. :2funny:
This bird feels very Cold War.
good!
Now we know why UFOs are saucer shaped....
Sure looks like a B-2b to me, probably with all new avionics, engine and eccm/ecm.
Or maybe it is just a new paint job. Should have used red with a couple of white racing stripes.
I believe they stated it was physically smaller than the B-2.
it is.
Shrinkage. Too much bleach and hot water.
these popped up today.

I take two. Always good to have a spare.
Do they really want to name this plane after a football team that can't make .500? :grin:
Definitely do not rename it the Aaron Rogers.
When the radar screen shows nothing, but there are bombs falling... whats in a name?
They could call it Late for Dinner for all that it matters . :beam_up:
^Then definitely call it Aaron Rogers if you like Late for Dinner.
Or, they could call it the, "Did you hear something...BOOM".
Cue a mash up of Willie Nelsen's Blue Skies with some death metal
^I was thinking maybe some John Denver + some death metal but either way it's Jenius[tm] :RockOn:
I think they should call it "Boss Music".
As in, "Why is the boss music starting up? WHY IS THE BOSS MUSIC STARTING U--!?"
What this tells us, of course, is that the bombers two generations after this are operating now. :Nerd:
...and tells the Chinese, and Russians, too, in case they need to know.
The B-22 Tic-Tac is operational? :shocked: You didn't hear it from me. :lipsrsealed:
Jason really really needs to share his stash.
of..... ?
Everything.
Clearly China and Russia do need to know what is homing in on them.
Tell them it's nothing to worry about, just a Spy Balloon. :tie1:
first ass shot of the Raider:
