That is something I hadn't thought of although I have seen a B-2 Spirit flying over the Air Force Academy. I haven't done any reading as to the efficacy of stealth in combat. I assumed that those planes were low profile to ground-based RADAR systems. But honestly my interest in any of this is bookended in my early adolescence and now my adulthood because of hex&counter wargaming. I quit playing them when I was 16 because driver's license. And now that I am a single adult in my olds I play solitaire wargames about historic wars, battles, cultures, and geography because I'm enjoying the reading that it leads to for me. So stealth is for me largely an undefined magic with no one ever making the case for its combat effectivity.
