“Successfully completed an emergency landing.” That contradicts the headline, “B2 Damaged In Emergency Landing,” especially if the report of a gear problem, or running off the runway proves to be true.

500 Million dollars plus riding on one plane. Too big an Egg. The USAF should avoid putting some many dollars on a single plane. With the adversary they have today money will have to be spent wisely.

I generally understand “successful emergency landing” to mean the plane reached the runway under control and all occupants evacuated alive. It may or may not mean it stopped on the runway without damage.

Maybe Congress should have bought the original quantity instead of just 15% of the original fleet.

Individual Cost = Program Cost/Number of Units

100% Congresses fault, 0% Air Forces fault

A bit of research on the programs history might be in order before spewing.

Yeah, perfection is the enemy of the good. Sounds like a success to me. The nature of the aircraft involved means we likely will never know.

I wouldn’t go 0% on Air Force. The generals may all be products of their environment, but they have responsibilities which I think they often dodge. It’s not like they couldn’t raise up and call BS on the procurement problems.
