ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- Staff Sergeant Cory Cahill inspects a wheel well as part of routine pre-flight maintenance on a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. Sergeant Cahill is part of a maintenance team supporting the remaining B-2 Spirits at Andersen AFB. Keeping the B-2 Spirit bomber at a mission-ready status requires lots of hard work and a huge team effort by all maintainers working on the multi-role stealth bomber. The B-2s here have remained suspended pending the results from a safety investigation board following the first-ever crash of a stealth bomber Feb. 23 here, at Andersen AFB. The continuous bomber presence demonstrates U.S. commitment to promote security and stability in the Pacific region.
