A B-2 stealth bomber crashed Saturday Feb. 23, 2008 at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam. The two pilots aboard the bomber ejected before the crash and are safe the U.S. Air Force said. A board of Air Force officers will investigate what happened. Each B-2 bomber costs about $1.2 billion to build. All 21 stealth bombers are based at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, but the Air Force has been rotating several of them through Guam since 2004, along with B-1 and B-52 bombers.

Davis III) HAGATNA, Guam (AP) - The Air Force investigated the first crash of a costly B-2 stealth bomber after one plunged to the ground Saturday shortly after beginning the last flight of a four-month deployment.

Both pilots ejected safely, though one was being transferred to Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu to be treated for spinal compression, said Tech. Sgt. Tom Czerwinski of Pacific Air Force's public affairs office in Hawaii.

Four of the bombers were taking off at the end of deployment to Andersen Air Force Base, officials said. At least one had taken off safely but was brought back after the crash.
