B-2 Stealth Training Missions Suspended
From Times Wire Reports
Training missions for B-2 stealth bombers have been suspended because of problems with the aircraft’s crew ejection system, the Air Force said. Ten of the service’s bombers are at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. Eleven other bombers in production are at Edwards Air Force Base in California and will be repaired as well. Each aircraft costs $2 billion. The suspension was temporary and precautionary, officials said. It would not interfere with the aircraft’s ability to be deployed in combat.
