This image provided by the U.S. Air Force shows a B-2 stealth bomber flying over the Pacific Ocean, before arriving at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, in 2006. A B-2 stealth bomber crashed Saturday Feb. 23, 2008 at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam. The two pilots aboard the bomber ejected before the crash and are safe the U.S. Air Force said.
