Similarities to 2021 Accident Cited
A B-2 Spirit—colloquially Stealth—bomber of the United States Air Force’s 509th Bomb Wing suffered damage on Saturday, 10 December 2022, when an in-flight malfunction forced the aircraft’s crew to make an emergency landing at Missouris’ Whiteman Air Force Base—the 509th’s home. Photos from the scene reveal the bomber on the runway—more or less—with its portside wing conspicuously low—after the fashion of a main-landing-gear collapse, a departure from the runway, or both.
