The U.S. Air Force released a wide-angle photo showing the B-2 flyover at the 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.

The B-2 stealth bomber has been in service since 1997. It saw its first combat in the 1999 Kosovo War and has been used in just about every conflict that has drawn American air power, including the 2011 Libyan Civil War. Each of the 21 B-2’s built by Northrop Grumman costs about $1 billion in 2012 dollars.
