Reason: B-2 Spirit bomber in flight. This is a heavy bomber with a wingspan of 52 meters, it is also a stealth bomber. This semi profile view highlights the two dimensional and seamless design of the aircraft. It is a distinct feature for evading radar detection (as well as infrared detection). We have a lower pixel count 2007 FP of this aircraft, it shows more of the body. But I think the nominated view, showing the slim (detection evading) design, is deserving of a nomination. The bomber has been in operation since 1997 and is to be replaced in 2032 with the B-21.

Comment - I think this image is valuable for showing how slim it is, but it's used terribly. It's placed under "2000s" despite being from the 2010s. It's way, way down in the article, which isn't itself a problem, but the caption is "The Spirit of Missouri at the Dyess AFB air show in 2018" - which isn't really adding anything to the section it's in. I think it's a good image, but needs better usage. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs} 18:07, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I moved the photo to the 2010 section; not sure what would be a better caption. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 15:14, 8 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support as it does, at least, cover aspects no other photo does. Might be nice to draw attention to, y'know, the two-dimensional and seamless design in the caption. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600^th FP!} 04:41, 11 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done. I updated the article's caption. Bammesk (talk) 14:06, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank ye kindly. Hopefully this'll pass, if not, I'd suggest a renom in a bit Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600^th FP!} 18:10, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support As noted in the nomination, this image does a good job of illustrating the B-2's unusual design. Nick-D (talk) 22:04, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support - I don't see a photo's exact placement in an article as a criterion for FP. --Janke | Talk 17:38, 14 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
