B-2 flies over North Pole

The B-2 stealth bomber has completed its first 18.5-hour sortie over the North Pole to validate new flight management software.

The Extremely High Frequency (EHF) Increment 1 system verification review demonstrated the computer upgrade program successfully satisfied the government’s requirements. The sortie also included air-refueling to and from the North Pole from Edwards Air Force Base, California.
