Endurance Mission Ended With Inert Bombing Run At Edwards
AFB
Taking off from the flightline at Edwards Air Force Base October
27, a B-2 Spirit travelled to the top of the world and back again
on a mission to test the aircraft's hardware and software upgrades,
endurance and performance at extremely high latitudes. The more
than 18-hour mission to the North Pole and back to Edwards AFB
consisted of developmental and operational test points to prove
that the B-2's software upgrade works well and is able to operate
anywhere in the world.
