The United States Air Force has released the first video of the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider in flight for the first time (previously, just still images had been publicly released). The video shows a B-21 flying and landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

The video shows the B-21 Raider stealth bomber taking off and landing at Edwards Air Force Base, where it is undergoing an extensive flight test campaign.

Whiteman currently houses the B-2 Spirit bomber. Dyess, like Ellsworth, hosts the B-1 Lancer bomber. The B-21 Raider, which was unveiled in late 2022, will eventually replace both the B-2 and B-1 fleets.

Recently, the B-21 completed the essential static test — meaning the structural design of the aircraft is sound.

Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, and Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, will be the second and third bases to receive the U.S. Air Force's newest bomber.

At the Air, Space, and Cyber Conference in Washington, DC, the US Air Force and prime contractor Northrop Grumman have released the first video of its B-21 Raider nuclear bomber in flight, along with an update on the B-21 program.

The U.S. Air Force is reactivating and modernizing B-1B Lancer bombers to bridge the gap caused by delays in the B-21 Raider program.
