Although they are refueled mid-air, and not by planes from the US.
BTW, they bring a beach chair on board for the non-duty pilot to sit in while waiting for the turnaround. It's a 12 hour flight each way, or something.

I had heard, during the non-believable to me (but apparently true) story of the flying halfway around the world thing, that the pilot sleeps on the way back while the plane is on autopilot. I am happy to know that there are two people, and one is awake at all times.
Is the B-2 the same thing as the Stealth, or not so much?
