In 2008, a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, nicknamed the “Spirit of Kansas,” crashed shortly after takeoff from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The crash was caused by sensor data interference caused by humidity affecting the flight control system, causing the aircraft to lose control and disintegrate upon impact with the runway; both pilots ejected safely. This incident marked the first operational loss of the B-2 fleet and caused an estimated $1.4 billion in damage, making it one of the costliest

On February 23, 2008, the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber “Spirit of Kansas” (AV-12) was lost moments after takeoff from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. Both pilots ejected safely, but the $1.2 billion aircraft was destroyed—marking the first-ever loss of a B-2. Investigators later revealed that faulty air-data sensors, affected by Guam’s humid climate, caused the bomber’s computers to pitch the nose up too sharply, leading to a fatal stall. #aviation #militaryaviation #crash | Aviation Diary

On February 23, 2008, a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, known as the "Spirit of Kansas," crashed shortly after takeoff from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. Both pilots ejected safely, but the aircraft was destroyed, marking the first operational loss of a B-2. The crash was attributed to moisture in the air-data sensors, leading to incorrect flight control data. With an estimated loss of $1.4 billion, it remains one of the most expensive aviation accidents in history. 🇺🇸 @waraholics | Aviation GM
