Northrop B-2 Spirit
B-2
A black-gray boomerang with no vertical stabilizer, the trailing edge jagged like a saw blade: the B-2 Spirit is the US Air Force’s stealth bomber, built only 21 times and a rare guest in Europe. Here is how to recognize it and when Fairford or Keflavík offer a chance.
Northrop F-5 Tiger II
F-5E Tiger II
Small, pointed, loud and unmistakably red and white over the Alps: the F-5 Tiger II has shaped the Swiss Air Force and the Patrouille Suisse since 1978. Here is how to recognize the light fighter and make the most of its last years before retirement.
