Aircraft manufacturer Northrop Grumman unveiled the U.S. Air Force’s latest long-range bomber, the B-21 Raider, at their Palmdale, California facility in early December. 

Named in honor of the Doolittle Raiders, the $692 million plane will eventually replace the Air Force’s fleet of B-1 and B-2 stealth bombers.

CDR President Jeff Thatcher has written a report on the new plane: https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/jan/01/new-bomber-honors-doolittle-raiders/
