The B-2 Spirit is a strategic bomber operated by the United States Air Force. Given the highly specialized nature of this aircraft, the number of individuals qualified to pilot it is relatively small compared to other military aircraft. The selection process for B-2 pilots is rigorous, focusing on experience, aptitude, and psychological suitability.
The limited number of qualified pilots ensures the preservation of operational security and specialized knowledge necessary to operate such a complex and technologically advanced aircraft. This scarcity underscores the strategic importance of each individual entrusted with piloting this asset and their significant contribution to national defense. Historically, only the most experienced and highly trained aviators have been chosen for this role.
