 Representative Ike Skelton - Weekly Column   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
My dream for Whiteman's future was inspired by a classified briefing I received in 1982 that outlined the Air Force's plans for a new bat-winged bomber.
Since the B-2 has been at Whiteman for ten years now, and people are fairly accustomed to seeing the aircraft, there might be a temptation to start considering it as old hat.
There are any number of reasons why Whiteman Air Force Base was the logical choice as the home of the B-2, but I believe the most important reason is the strong support and patriotism shown by the entire community for generations.
