N9MB Flying Wing
The Northrop N9MB Flying Wing, built in 1944, performed for the crowd at the First Annual L.A. County Air Show March 21. It was built as the fourth and final plane in a series of test aircraft for the Northrop XB-35 Flying Wing bombers. The aircraft was one of four prototypes built by Northrop, but the only surviving aircraft left. The 68-year-old plane is the grandfather of today's B-2 stealth bomber. The N9MB is owned and restored by the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, Calif. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kenji Thuloweit)
