Interesting article on what it is like to fly a B-2 bomber.

Apparently, there are only two pilots and they get very little sleep on the 30+ hour missions (record is 44 hours). After reading what they endure, I can't complain about a 7-8 hour flight to Europe.

UA pilots have to land before they dump their payload.
B2 pilots can dump theirs while still in the air. Cool!
