Spotter time.
In the 90's I remember reading about the idea of buying Russian fighters and fitting western engines (Mig 29 & EJ200?). It went on to mention you would need 3 airframes per pair of engines as the Russians only lifed them for 2000 Hours. Any truth in that?
Seems there are some cracks in the B-2 program.

What will the US do if equipment becomes available in the next decade that can detect it's Stealth aircraft, will the B-2 still be viable financially? Bring on the frick'in space lazer!
Oh yes back to the thread.
Glad to see everyone was OK, new pants (draws is Americaneese) all round.
So is a wheels up landing the prefered option to ejection for the B-1?
