This is not the original 82-1070 'Spirit of Ohio', rather one of two additional aircraft Northrop constructed without engines or instruments for fatigue testing. This example was used for stress testing on the airframe (it was discovered that the wings could withstand 161% of the design specs stress load before cracking) before being retired to the National Museum of the USAF for display.

Operated by 509 Bomb Wing from Whiteman AFB, Missouri.

The airmen and bobbies guarding the stealth bomber were surely the most photographed people at RIAT this year.
