Earlier this evening at a Pentagon press conference, the United States Air Force announced the result of the long-awaited Long Range Strike-Bomber (LRS-B) competition. The Air Force has awarded the LRS-B contract to Northrop Grumman, manufacturer of the Air Force Global Strike Command‘s B-2 Spirit bomber. The service is expected to procure 100 airframes with a tentative target for IOC in the mid-2020s.

of course when the last B-3 (or whatever it will be designated) goes to the Boneyard,  the crew will fly home on a BUFF

good to hear the big three will be around though.  i dont think the next gen trainer would have been enough to sustain Northrup Grumman.

Ironically, had they made the extra 100 B-2s it would've cost less than starting a whole new program today.

Elected officials need to know that there are " "consulting" jobs ready for them after they leave office.
