B-2 Returns to Edwards on 35th Anniversary of First Flight

The Spirit of Pennsylvania B-2 Spirit assigned to the 419th Flight Test Squadron flies over Edwards Air Force Base, California, prior to landing, July 17, 35 years after the B-2’s first flight. The aircraft returned to the heart of the Aerospace Testing Universe, where many firsts for technological advancements take place. The reintroduction of the B-2 to a test environment is not only nostalgic, but a careful first step toward new experiments and technological upgrades that will ensure it remains a vital asset in the U.S. Air Force's fleet.
