The crash was the first for a B-2, said Capt. Sheila Johnston, a spokeswoman for Air Combat Command at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. Both pilots ejected safely. There were no injuries on the ground or damage to buildings, and no munitions were on board.

Thankfully both the pilots survived.

How much do you think it actually costs? _________________ eP007 Back to top sammyk Member Joined: 20 Dec 2006 Posts: 2719 Location: Austin, TX Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 10:56 am    Post subject: Well, I don't know how much it costs to operate/maintain them but since it's unlikely they'll be replacing it they just might save money in the end.
