    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is captured in low-altitude flight just above a runway, appearing to be in the process of taking off or landing. The aircraft's distinctive flying-wing design is clearly visible against an overcast sky. The setting appears to be a military airfield surrounded by tropical vegetation, consistent with locations such as Andersen Air Force Base in Guam.

    A B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, deployed from Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, takes off at Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, in support a Bomber Task Force mission, August 26, 2020. BTF missions allow U.S. Strategic Command to provide persistent, long-term bomber presence to aid in U.S. Indo-Pacific Command’s commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. As part of their BTF deployment, the B-2s participated in a combined United States-Australia exercise with Marine Rotational Force-Darwin and Australian Defence Forces. During the exercise, MRF-D and ADF Joint Terminal Attack Controllers coordinated airstrikes with U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers and B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers. (U.S Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
