B-2 Bomber - Spirit of Kitty Hawk

On Tuesday, Feb 12th, a very rare bird stopped off at Hickam, the B-2 Bomber, Spirit of Kitty Hawk. This isn't the first time the B-2 has been in the skies above Hawaii, but it is the first time a B-2 has actually landed. The Air Force has used Pohakuloa on the Big Island to drop dummy bombs in training exercises. The Honolulu Advertiser has pictures and video of the B-2 at Hickam.

    I remember when the "Spirit of Hawaii" B-2 bomber was introduced at Hickam AFB years ago. Can someone back me up on this?

    Your memory is correct. I found this:

    On May 27th 1996, a B2 aircraft of the U.S. Air Force was named the "Spirit of Hawai'i" at a ceremony held at Hickam Air Force Base on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i.
