Rebuilding a $2.1 Billion Stealth Fighter


The LA Times details the largely secret, four-year mission to rebuild a B-2 Stealth Bomber that was badly damaged in a fire in Guam. It involved hundreds of rare parts, thousands of man hours and 300 Northrop and Air Force workers, many of whom flew to Guam to work on the project seven days a week. With only 20 B-2s in existence, Air Force officials said there was no doubt they would invest the $105 million it took to repair the plane.
