While one group flew west over the Pacific Ocean—apparently as a diversionary maneuver—the second group, comprising seven B-2s, headed east and successfully carried out precision strikes on Iran's Fordo and Natanz nuclear facilities, deploying 14 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs. That group completed a grueling 37-hour round trip and safely returned to the fate of the first group remains largely unknown. Reports now suggest that at least one B-2 from the decoy squadron made an emergency landing at Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, which shares a runway with Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii. The stealth bomber, using the callsign MYTEE 14, reportedly diverted due to an undisclosed emergency and has been grounded there ever since.A video of the stranded bomber, posted by former pilot David Martin (@Sir_DavidMartin), has surfaced online, further fueling speculation. The nature of the technical malfunction and the timeline for repairs remain incident isn't the first time a B-2 has made an unplanned stop in Hawaii. In April 2023, another B-2 made an emergency landing at Hickam, following a major safety stand-down after a December 2022 crash at Whiteman AFB. That earlier crash, caused by an in-flight malfunction, resulted in the aircraft veering off the runway and briefly catching at over $2 billion each, the B-2 Spirit bomber is a crown jewel of the U.S. Air Force's strategic deterrent, with only 19 units remaining in service. Its bat-like silhouette and stealth capabilities allow it to penetrate heavily defended airspace Iran bombing run, dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, marked one of the longest B-2 missions in recent memory. With radio silence maintained throughout, pilots relied on advanced cockpit systems and in-flight rest strategies to endure the nearly two-day questions mount about the downed stealth bomber in Hawaii, U.S. officials remain tight-lipped, adding yet another layer to the enigma surrounding America's most secretive aircraft.
