    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is captured in a low-altitude approach or takeoff phase above a military airfield runway. The aircraft's distinctive flying-wing design is clearly visible against an overcast sky. Large arched aircraft hangars are visible in the background, consistent with facilities designed to house stealth aircraft.

    A U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit aircraft takes off at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, in support of Valiant Shield, June 27, 2026. For Exercise Valiant Shield 2026, the B-2 flew into the Mariana Island Range Complex to successfully employ the AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile and demonstrated flexibility across the globe and hold maritime vessels at risk.

    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is taxiing on a runway at what appears to be Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, identifiable by the tropical vegetation and runway layout. The flying wing aircraft is visible on the taxiway with its distinctive bat-wing silhouette. A second aircraft, likely another bomber, is visible in the background on the main runway.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is captured in a low-altitude approach or takeoff phase above a military airfield runway. The aircraft's distinctive flying-wing design is clearly visible against an overcast sky. Large arched aircraft hangars are visible in the background, consistent with facilities designed to house stealth aircraft.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is captured in low-altitude flight over a military airfield, appearing to be on approach for landing or just after takeoff. The aircraft's distinctive flying-wing design and dark gray stealth coating are clearly visible with landing gear deployed. The airfield features multiple hangars, light poles, a communications tower, and green grass infields consistent with a major military air base.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is captured in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The aircraft is photographed from a low angle, showing its distinctive flying-wing design with landing gear deployed. A munition or external store is visible mounted beneath the fuselage.
    A low-angle ground-level photograph taken on a military airfield taxiway, featuring a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber taxiing directly toward the camera along a yellow centerline stripe. The dramatic composition is set against a dark, stormy sky with multiple military aircraft visible in the background. The wet tarmac and moody lighting create a striking visual effect.
    The image shows a military airfield ramp with two distinct aircraft visible: a large turboprop aircraft (foreground, serial number 0109) and a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber (background). Behind the aircraft is a distinctive hardened aircraft shelter (HAS) with a curved dome structure, consistent with facilities at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. The scene depicts a static ground environment with support equipment visible on the tarmac.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is parked on a wet tarmac at a military airbase, likely Andersen Air Force Base in Guam based on the tropical environment and infrastructure visible in the background. The aircraft's distinctive flying-wing silhouette is reflected in standing water on the flight line following recent rainfall. Ground crew personnel are visible near the aircraft performing pre- or post-flight operations.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, identified by visible text as 'Spirit of Mississippi' with tail code 'WM', is parked on a wet tarmac at what appears to be a military airfield. Ground crew personnel are visible near the aircraft performing maintenance or pre/post-flight operations. The wet tarmac creates a striking mirror reflection of the aircraft and sky in the foreground.
    A low-angle upward shot of what appears to be a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, captured from below and slightly forward of the cockpit. The aircraft's distinctive flying-wing design and blended cockpit canopy are visible against a dramatic blue sky with scattered cumulus clouds. The dark, radar-absorbent matte surface of the aircraft contrasts sharply with the bright sky backdrop.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is photographed on a flight line apron, likely at a U.S. Air Force base. The image is taken from a low angle near a reflective surface, capturing the aircraft's distinctive flying-wing profile. Ground crew personnel in high-visibility vests are visible performing maintenance or pre-flight checks near the landing gear.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is parked on an airfield tarmac being serviced by ground crew personnel. A military fuel tanker truck is positioned alongside the aircraft, suggesting active refueling operations. The aircraft bears the tail code 'WM' and the name 'Spirit of Mississippi' is partially visible on the fuselage.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is parked on a wet tarmac apron, positioned next to a military jet fuel tanker truck. The tanker, operated by Isometrics Inc. of Reidsville, N.C., carries JP-8/F-34 jet fuel and displays standard hazmat placards. The scene appears to depict a routine refueling operation at a military airfield under partly cloudy skies.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is parked on a flight line at what appears to be a tropical military airbase, likely Andersen Air Force Base in Guam based on the vegetation and climate indicators. Ground crew personnel are conducting refueling operations using a green military fuel tanker truck positioned to the right of the aircraft. A second B-2 Spirit bomber is visible in the background on the tarmac.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is parked on a flight line apron, with a fuel servicing unit positioned directly in front of it. The aircraft bears the serial number 80331 on its nose gear door, and a flammable fuel warning placard with UN hazmat number 1863 is prominently displayed on the ground support equipment. Additional B-2 aircraft are visible in the background on the same tarmac.
    A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is parked on a flight line apron, with its nose gear bay open and maintenance access ladder visible. The aircraft serial number '80331' is visible on the nose gear door. At least one additional B-2 Spirit is visible in the background, suggesting a multi-aircraft deployment at a tropical airbase.
    A ground crew member stands beneath the large swept wing of what appears to be a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber on a military airfield tarmac, reaching upward toward the wing's trailing edge. In the background, a row of aircraft shelters (blast shields/revetments) is visible along with several light poles and parked fighter aircraft. The setting appears to be a tropical or Pacific region air base based on the vegetation and cloud cover.
