B-2 stealth bomber completes maintenance in record time

The B-2 stealth bomber “Spirit of Nebraska” set a new maintenance record, the Air Force announced Monday.

The bomber is ready to stalk the skies after its scheduled tune-up finished 91 days ahead of schedule on Oct. 15.


Before the new record, the bombers took 470 days for programmed depot maintenance, or PDM, which occurs every nine years and focuses on repairing the bomber and its stealth materials.

I would be very anxious if I were the pilot on its first flight. :scared smiley:

It took 1 1/4 years instead of 1 1/2. Somehow that does not sound like haste or shoddiness.

I always had my mechanic take a test ride after maintenance.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
