![]() Why did you want to film inside a flying B-2? What I was asking for was flat out impossible. ![]() but no still photography or video in flight. ![]() In fact, only a couple of cockpit photos while the airplane was parked had been officially released over the years, and a few unofficial stills had leaked out of the instrument panel….

And… I wasn’t just looking to fly the airplane – I wanted to film aboard her in-flight. Working for five years on the project and not becoming discouraged with the many and varied ups and downs was an immense mental challenge. No kidding David, not to boast, but for context: as a civilian, I’ve done carrier ops in the Hornet, a low-level max G killer ride in the Viper including the 9g min radius turn, blasted around in the Harrier, and done the full stomach-churning demo in the T-6. The entire evolution was an administrative, operational, emotional, and physical roller coaster.
