Ever wanted to fly the B-2 stealth bomber? Here's how to become one of the most elite pilots in the Air Force.
WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. — Being a B-2 pilot means experiencing the rush of takeoff and the pressure of weapons drops while flying in the nation’s only stealth bomber. But it also involves having to manage nap times with your co-pilot during daylong-plus flights.
