The crash on takeoff of a 509th Air Wing, Air Force B-2 Spirit bomber,
February 23 operating at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, was caused by
water in the aircraft's sensors, according to an Air Combat report
issued Thursday.

"..in the end, the Air Force's report on the incident suggests the
entire accident could have been avoided..."

"..prior to the flight the aircraft's own systems had prompted the
crew to perform an air-data calibration.."

Pilot error?
