Do you have the exact date ?

There are three reports for Edwards AFB in the 1990 editions of 'BAR', including one for the show on 6/10, but none include reference to a B-2A. Likewise, there are three reports in the 1991 editions of 'BAR', and that for the show (again on 6/10) includes reference to B-2A 82-1068 of the 6510th TW on display in a hangar.

I'm not saying that this was definitely the B-2A you saw the previous year, but it's the best I can come up with short of someone being able to confirm whether or not 82-1068 was on 6510th TW strength in October 1990.

82-1067 was the second B-2A and first flew 19th October 1990 from Palmdale to Edwards! 82-1066 should have been based at Edwards in 1990 while 82-1068 made its first flight on 18 June 1991.

Thanks folks, I need to do some more digging at my end.

An interesting thread....seen flying from Palmdale 07/10/1999 on our way to the Edwards show 8/9th was a B-2A....always thought this was 82-1066 believed based at the time but never claimed.
