It’s on social media, so this isn’t necessarily breaking news but a B-2’s left landing gear collapsed on landing today. Both pilots safely egressed the aircraft after it came to a stop. Probably won’t have any more details until after there is both a Safety Investigation and Accident Investigation and those can take weeks/months.

There goes about a $10M repair bill. Maybe the Ukrainians will loan us the money to fix it.

Isn’t Mule, Coco’s wife’s ex-husband a B2 pilot?

Couldn't handle the pressure of the new B-21 coming for its market share.

Probably a dumb question, but with the size/shape of the B-2, does it just land with the gear that successfully extended or does it pull them back up and land on its belly in a situation like this?

Edit: nvm, read it wrong, thought that one of the gear didn’t extended before landing

I guess the anti gravity mode switched off too soon. Google if you doubt

$2B loss I’m sure. Hope the B-21 gets rolling soon. And the AF orders more than 20
