Caption:
Aug. 7, 2003 -- A U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit and two B-117A Nighthawks
fly in formation. The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable
of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions. A dramatic leap
forward in technology, the bomber represents a major milestone in the
U.S. bomber modernization program. The B-2 brings massive firepower to
bear, in a short time, anywhere on the globe through previously
impenetrable defenses. The F-117A Nighthawk is the world's first
operational aircraft designed to exploit low-observable stealth
technology. This precision-strike aircraft penetrates high-threat
airspace and uses laser-guided weapons against critical targets.
