Whiteman AFB is proud to operate the B-2 from the heart of CHIEFS KINGDOM!!
Rain or shine, day or night, here at or nearly 3900 miles away at Whiteman Air Force Base, my #Airmen are always ready to get me loaded and in the air at a moments notice!
#TeamWhiteman will perform an #AFFlyover across several #KCMO area and local medical facilities Tuesday, April 28, 2020. The #AirForceSalutes flyover will include a B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, four T-38 Talons and two A-10 Thunderbolt lls. Remember to tag us #WhitemanSalutesKC
Miss all the hype for the 30th anniversary of the B-2's first flight?
Don't worry--we're celebrating 30 yrs of lethality, range, innovation and stealth all year long.
We are proud to serve at the forefront of the world stage and operate the world's most advanced aircraft.
Happy Mother's Day from the mother of all bombers! Enjoy your day, mothers! You deserve it!
I wonder if anyone has any more good photos of me during #RIAT18? I like this one because it makes me look skinny.
B-2 #pilots are a small, elite group of experts. Two of them found love along the way - and I may have had something to do with it. I'm really going to miss these two! Thank you for the memories! Check out their story of #family , #sacrifice and service:
#Maintainers make for pretty solid #Wingmen – Thankful to have them check up on me! #ThankfulThursday
Most of our Twitter followers live in Missouri, the home of the B-2; makes sense. The second most common? The UK. Thanks for everyone's support as we operated our BTF from RAF Fairford. The Special Relationship is alive and well!

If I weren’t a stealth bomber I would be a professional model. 📸
Remember, what you are seeing today is a fully planned training mission. The pilots are hitting key objectives to keep them ready to defend our nation and provide global strike.

Today, we reflect on our service and honor those we lost 18 years ago. For many of our Airmen, it was the reason they joined; for others, it was motivation to fight harder and better; for our youngest Airmen, it's a reminder of our purpose, even if they don't remember the day.
I’m thankful for all my Airmen! What are you thankful for this holiday season? #airpower
#Thisdayinhistory I dropped bombs on terrorists to avenge 9/11 and 16 years later they still don't see me coming.

This #Halloween, be afraid. Very afraid. We're ready, lethal and stealth. How many B-2s can you find?
The B-2 had it's first test flight more than 30 years ago, but it never gets old!

The B-2's long range is enabled and increased by our gas stations (since this KC-135 is from , do we say "petrol station" instead?) in the sky! Thanks to all the aerial refuelers who keep us flying--anytime, anywhere!

People see a flyover that lasts a few seconds, but it's a training mission with hours of planning behind it--these flights give our pilots real experience in the cockpit and at the planning tables and in the briefing rooms.

Did you know the 509 BW, which now flies the B-2, used to operate the F-111? Pretty neat plane!

Will we get a turn? Certainly the smooth, Low Observable lines of a B-2 would be ideal for giant cat naps, no?

These 2 were the top crew chiefs of the year...so they got to go for a little ride. Thanks for takin' care of us.

Great photo!
The ground crew met with production personnel and Pasadena PD to review timing for tomorrow's big flyovers. Who's ready to bring in 2020?!
The B-2's lethality is rivaled only by the KC Chiefs right now! Go Chiefs! #ChiefsKingdom
The future is lethal.
We are preparing for the future and our bomber fleet is ready to meet tomorrow's national defense challenges head-on.
Don't forget to swing by the best aircraft here and get an up close look at America's stealth bomber! #WingsOverWhiteman
Lee's Summit -- you're up next! Thank you for all your city has done for our mission! Stay safe down there as you look up and see the B-2, flanked by A-10s! What a display of air power!
Hey, #Nebraskacornhusker fans, don’t forget to look up before kick-off. One of my pilots today is a Nebraska alum. Game time is 2:30 p.m. CST and it’s televised! #huskerfootball #cubuffs #teamspirit #B2Spirit #stealth
#TeamWhiteman was honored to host A/USDP Anderson and USD (A&S) Lord. They toured the #B2Spirit Stealth Bomber and got to see what makes this world class strategic bomber the most capable and modernized defense asset. #StrikerStrong
Spotted in the Tournament House today! We are proud to continue this partnership and demonstrate the hard work of our Airmen and communities!
