This is the original colored pencil drawing.

 

A late afternoon view of the B2 Bomber, "Spirit of Texas" (0328) dropping a GBU-57A/B MOP bomb during a test on training targets at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico in May of 2019.

 

"The GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator ( MOP) is a precision-guided, 30,000-pound (14,000 kg) "bunker buster" bomb used by the United States Air Force. [2] This is substantially larger than the deepest-penetrating bunker busters previously available, the 5,000-pound (2,300 kg) GBU-28 and GBU-37 ."

 

 

The United States produced just 21 Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Bombers (one being the test article), though original plans we for up to 165 of them. The B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is an American heavy strategic bomber, featuring low-observable stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses. A subsonic flying wing with a crew of two, the plane was designed by Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) and produced from 1987 to 2000. The bomber can drop conventional and thermonuclear weapons, such as up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only acknowledged in-service aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.

 

Other than the original develpment/test article (AV-1) which was named the Spirit of America, all 20 production planes were named after states in the union.  The Spirit of Kansas crashed and was destroyed in 2008 in Guam.  Two  are currenlty undergoing repair after landing incidents.

 

The title is a play on an early Saturday Night Live series of sketches (1975+) that would depict a "landshark"  stealthily pretending to deliver a "candygram" to your door.
