美空军坠毁B-2轰炸机飞行员称起飞后机上起火
   
美空军驻关岛安德森基地一架B-2轰炸机23日起飞时坠毁，有媒体报道飞行员称起飞时机上起火随后失去控制坠毁。美国《航天日报》和《国防报道》26日报道了此消息，但美空军空战司令部公共关系人员表示尚无确切证据证明此消息。23日当地时间10时45分起飞时，刚通过塔台便向右翻转到跑道和停机坪间爆炸，30分钟后发生第2次爆炸。据《电子日报》杂志报道，失事飞机是机尾号为890127的“堪萨斯精神”号B-2轰炸机。目前，第509轰炸机联队命令所有该型轰炸机停止飞行任务进行检查，驻留关岛的其余三架同型机等待命令解除后返回本土。


Citing a senior Air Combat Command official, the Aerospace Daily & Defense Report reported Tuesday that one of the pilots of the B-2 stealth bomber that crashed Saturday reported a fire at takeoff from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, which was followed quickly by loss of control of the bomber.

ACC public officials contacted by Stars and Stripes on Tuesday would not confirm that, saying only that an Accident Investigation Board would be looking at the crash.

The stealth bomber rolled uncontrollably to the right and fell between the taxiway and the ramp at 10:45 a.m. local time just after passing the control tower on takeoff. The two pilots ejected; one was hospitalized. A dark plume of smoke arose from the crash site and civilians outside the base reported a second explosion about 30 minutes after the initial impact, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report wrote.

The bomber Spirit of Kansas, tail No. 890127, was the second in a four-aircraft flight that was ending its deployment and taking off for return to home base at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., the daily electronic magazine noted.

The other three B-2s later returned to Whiteman, where the wing commander has declared a “safety pause” for the fleet, ACC officials told the news outlet. During the pause, procedures are being reviewed with the pilots and training is at a standdown. However, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report reported, if the stealth bomber is needed for an operational mission it is cleared to fly.
