-Short Attention Span Theater-
B2 Black Box Recovered (humor)
2008-02-24
What Really Happened To The B2, Spirit of Kansas

Some new information has come to light over the B2 crash. For those with short attention spans, the B2 was the stealth bomber that crashed in Guam. The Air Force tried to blame the incident on a collision with a Gooney Bird. However, control tower tapes that recorded the blasts (a small one at first, then a much larger one two minutes later) cast doubt on these claims. A whistle blower within the Air Force has leaked that the crew of the B2 was testing a new type of smart bomb when the accident occurred. It seemed very likely that the test didn't go quite as planned.

The pilots ejected safely before the B2 crashed, salvage crews were able to recover a 'Black Box' from the stealth bomber, which contained detailed accounts of the events leading up to the explosion. As luck would have it, we got a copy of those tapes.

#2  FARK.com Posters > USAF WOMEN PILOTS? including US Femme Purse hanging on In-Flight Flight Controls pic???

ON A SERIOUS NOTE, GUAM K57/MVARIETY > B-2 FLEET GROUNDED PENDING CRASH INVESTIGATION. Not too clear whether only B-2's on Guam, or entire USAF fleet.

And now you know, VIRGINIA, AGAIN, WHY THE B-52 IS STILL AROUND. CALL ME WEIRD BUT TWENTY-SONETHING B-2's DOTH NOT AN AIR FLEET MAKETH COMPARED TO SEVERAL 00 TO under-2000 B52's DURING THE COLD WAR.
