uring Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Q. Brown's speech at this year's Air & Space Forces Association's mega conference outside of Washington, D.C., the soon-to-be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs dropped two new images of the B-21 Raider. While the stealth bomber was rolled out in December of last year, it remains cloaked in secrecy. Brown, the top Air Force uniformed officer, didn't specifically reference the images in his presentation.
Up until today, only one angle of the full aircraft has been seen by the public — head-on — and in a very controlled environment at the bomber's unveiling. Aside from a close-up of the cockpit area at an angle, all imagery published since then has been from the same head-on perspective, although it has progressively shown the aircraft in more detail. Now we have our first quartering view of the flying-wing jet, which provides significant details about its design. A new head-on image also gives us a better idea of the bomber's actual size. Both images were taken at Northrop Grumman's facility at Plant 42 in Palmdale, California.

On 10 November 2023, the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider took off from Palmdale AF Plant 42.
Bearing call sign RAIDER 01 with RAIDER 03 F-16D as chase, it flew to Edwards AFB after a short test flight.
A few hours later, B-2A Spirit LEHI 23 departed for an FCF in the high desert. Very cool to see both stealth flying wings in the AV area where they are proudly made.
