Now , in level flight ,starting and maintaining the same speed,the radius of turn of 1500ft,gives a bank angle of about 75-77 degrees for about 4G.
Is that good enough for a B2 ?
Close enough - I make it 74.8° AoB and +3.8G without resorting to a 4 colour board brief!

Next - explain (without hand waving) why the 'victory roll' was such a dangerous manoeuvre. Nothing to do with the tired old excuse of "You might have unknown combat damage", incidentally.

(Chopper pukes needn't bother to answer - not something they would understand!)
