US military investigates stealth bomber crash

CANBERRA (AFP) — The US military was investigating on Saturday after a B-2 stealth bomber crashed on take-off from the Pacific island of Guam, the first such incident involving the futuristic craft.

Both pilots on board ejected safely as the 1.2-billion-dollar radar-evading plane, with its distinctive triangular shape, went down at Andersen airbase on the remote island, the US air force said.


So, let's see...

1.2 billion dollars divided by 117 million taxpayers = $10.25

That was a couple of pints (including a small tip) that went down in flames. On Tuesdays at Fox & Hound, it's 3 or 4 pints.

That's a lot of money, Guam-Dammit!
