B-2 Spirit in Operation Again

Recently, the U.S. Air Force decided to conduct a 5-month safety pause for the B-2 Spirit fleet.

This was implemented after one of the stealth bombers caught fire on a Missouri runway in 2022.

Luckily, the B-2 Spirit stealth bombers were able to get back in operation on May 22.
However, the U.S. Air Force didn't confirm the reason behind the B-2 accident in late 2022.

The defense agency also hasn't confirmed if a fix was made for its B-2 Spirit fleet.

But, since it was spotted flying over Miami Beach, it seems like the B-2 Spirit is already in good condition to fly again.

The flyby in Miami is considered to be one of the major events the high-subsonic aircraft bomber attended ever since the fleet was grounded.
