I reckon that might affect his pension just a bit. :p


On a serious note, good to see the crew managed to eject safely. :)

Very interesting! And very expensive. And that video shows the worst panning ever! :lol:

Good to see the crew is OK. When they punched out they must have been thinking "I'm kissing goodbye to $2 Billion!"

I've seen the prototype B-2 in the USAF Museum last year and I think it's one of the most complex looking aircraft ever. There are subtle curvatures all over it and not a single 3D artist will ever get that accurately modelled in 3D without the actual blueprints (which may not be available for a wee while to come... ;)).

I didn't make many pictures of it, as it was rather black in a theatre-style dimly-lit hall! ;)
But I'll have a look if there's anything worth posting.

Besides all the odd curves, another thing that struck me is how "fake" it looks. Like a plywood mockup. Very narrow seams for the flight controls and barely visible panel lines. Quite an unusual looking machine.

I still prefer the Ho229 ;)

I still prefer the Ho229

And it is cheaper to crash one :D

It is amazing how much money can go up in flames because of faulty instrument readings.

Makes me wonder what it would cost to get the stored Go229 into flying condition. 50€ million?
