B-2 Stealth Bomber - Full Program.

Thirty years later, in April 1980, Jack Northrop, then quite elderly and wheelchair bound, was taken back to the company he founded. There, he was ushered into a classified area and shown a scale model of the Air Force's forthcoming but still highly classified Advanced Technology Bomber, which would eventually become known as the B-2; it was a sleek, all-wing design. Looking over its familiar lines, Northrop, unable to speak due to various illnesses, was reported to have written on a pad: "I know why God has kept me alive for the past 25 years." Jack Northrop died 10 months later, in February 1981, eight years before the first B-2 entered Air Force service.

Real look, really fly

"Aviation is the branch of engineering that is least forgiving of mistakes. "

— Freeman Dyson, theoretical physicist and mathematician

​"Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things. The soul that knows it not knows no release from little things. Knows not the livid loneliness of fear, Nor mountain heights, where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings. "

— Amelia Earhart
