  "account": "The National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio houses the only public exhibition of a B-2 stealth bomber in the world. This advanced warplane, costing around $2 billion each, boasts remarkable stealth technology, long flight range, and nuclear capability. The museum's B-2, which never took to the skies as it was a test aircraft, is reassembled from seven separate shipments and underwent extensive ground-based testing. The aircraft was shipped to the museum in 2003 and took three years to complete. Its wingspan of 172 feet makes it a prominent exhibit in the Cold War gallery. Despite its imposing size, capturing the entire plane in a photograph with an iPhone proved challenging due to its vast dimensions. The test planes built by Northrop Grumman for this purpose had the same specifications as the operational B-2s but lacked engines and instruments. During the museum's 2003 dedication ceremony, museum director Charles D. Metcalf likened the aircraft to a \"one of the world's largest jigsaw puzzles.\" The B-2's exterior bore the emblem of the Air Combat Command, showcasing a downward-facing sword with wings spread on either side.",
