Shown here in a file photo, Northrop Grumman's flying-wing bomber, the B-2 Spirit, introduced itself to crowds at Paris in 1995.
At the time, an on-site New York Times reporter wrote: "Making its first public appearance outside the United States, the sinister black flying wedge made a simulated bombing run over the Netherlands, then touched down at Le Bourget airport near Paris for a one-hour visit. It later returned to the United States with a relief crew."
