Edwards Air Force Base revisited a significant chapter of aviation history with the return of the B-2 Spirit on July 17, 35 years since its first flight from Air Force Plant 42, in Palmdale, California to Edwards. The Spirit of Pennsylvania, returned to the heart of the Aerospace Testing Universe, where many firsts for technological advancements take place. The reintroduction of the B-2 to a test environment is not only nostalgic, but a careful first step toward new experiments and technological upgrades that will ensure it remains a vital asset in the U.S. Air Force’s fleet.
