A B-2 Spirit stealth bomber flyover, originally scheduled for the National Football League season opener on September 10, has been canceled due to low cloud cover and poor visibility.
A news release says continuing a long-standing tradition between Team Whiteman and its community partners, the Kansas City Chiefs organization, the B-2 Spirit was slated to open the game featuring the Chiefs vs. the Houston Texans with a demonstration of precision air power.
The 509th Bomb Wing continues a strong legacy of partnership and will join future community events soon.
The B-2 Spirit is America’s premier strategic stealth bomber and one of the world’s most advanced aircraft. It is operated by the active-duty 509th Bomb Wing and the Missouri Air National Guard’s 131st Bomb Wing at Whiteman AFB in Knob Noster.
