LA NOTICIA

 

 

A US B-2 stealth bomber - one of the most expensive military aircraft in the world - has crashed at an air base on the Pacific island of Guam.

 

The United States Air Force (USAF) said both pilots had ejected safely before the plane came down at Andersen Air Force Base, shortly after take-off.

 

A spokeswoman said it was the first time a B-2 had crashed.

 

B-2 bombers, which can evade most radar signals, cost about $1.2bn (£610m) each to build.

 

They have a range of 6,000 nautical miles (11,112 km) without refuelling and have seen service in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Thick, black smoke could be seen coming from the wreckage following the crash.

 

Lieutenant Colonel Doug Smith from the USAF told the BBC that the crash would be investigated.

 

"The two pilots... ejected prior to the crash. One of them was medically evaluated and released and the other is in a stable condition at a naval hospital," he said.

 

Guam is a US territory 3,700 miles south-west of Hawaii. Its capital is Hagatna.

La foto no me cuadra. La columna de humo se ve en la zona de parking. Según esta link el accidente se produjo al despegar. Era el segundo avión y nada más despegar se fue al suelo. Luego ha tenido que estrellarse fuera del perimetro de la base. Pero bueno, ya veremos. La tripulación se eyectó.

pues entre esto y lo q paso cn los F-15 seguro q viendo lo que hicieron ahora dejan a todos en tierra y dentro d un par de meses dicen q los retiran...o qe su costo es muy elevado etc...

 

Antes se tienen que evaluar las causas del accidente. Si la culpa es del piloto, se le sancionará por ser el causante de la pérdida del 4,67% de la flota de B-2 americana :xd: pero probablemente no afecte al resto de aviones en servicio. Si es un fallo del avión, ya dependerá si ha sido un fallo crítico, debdio a un defecto de diseño, o si ha sido causa de un error en el mantenimiento; en el primer caso entonces sí se dejarían la flota en tierra hasta que Northrop no saque una hoja de recomendaciones para paliar el problema.

 

Saludos!!
