The Air Force’s B-2 fleet has not returned to the skies since the crash of one of the stealth bombers Feb. 23, 2008 on Guam and instead remains on the ground under a ‘safety pause’ pending the findings of an investigation into the mishap. Here, on Feb. 4, 2008, a B-2 approaches the refueling boom of a KC-135R tanker during a flight over the American Midwest, 19 days before the crash on Guam.
