What name would you submit on the Air Force's New Long range Strike Bomber ?

2016-02-29T16:49:30-05:00

This is just for fun. It looks as if only Airman can vote. But , who said we cannot have fun with it here. I would call it B-21 WRAITH. What do you say ? http://www.monstropedia.org/index.php?title=Wraith

Wraith - Monstropedia

The wraith is a vague term that describes a ghostly creature, a spirit of another world, or more generally a mysterious being to be feared.

Well, the Wraith does have a history of air combat. And advanced stealth.

http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Wraith

Wraith

The Wraith is a terran space superiority fighter used extensively in the Koprulu sector. Wraiths primarily use missiles for their air/space attacks but can also use lasers for air/space targets. Against ground targets however, their lasers lack punch. Their armor provides little protection to the craft.
