According to the Pacific Daily News, USAF forces on Guam Monday unveiled the $32.8 million hangar built to house B-2 stealth bombers at Andersen Air Force Base. The hangar was built of concrete and steel meant to withstand typhoons registering in at 170 mph and major earthquakes, both not infrequent events for the Pacific island.
