Hester" Why would this country need such an expensive turkey as the B-2 when we have 52 F-117 Stealth attck/fighters? These are proven to fly, and (from what i've read-i'm new to the list) just as hard to detect. =Nick= ia80024@maine.bitnet ia80024@maine.maine.edu [mod.note: Theoretically, one might presume the B-2 has enhanced range and bombload relative to the F-117. I'll leave a more exhaustive comparison to the rest of the group 8-) - Bill ]
