USAF's new B-21 “Raider” flying wing bomber made its first flight on Friday, the next step in the launch of a new fleet of nuclear-capable long-range stealth bombers built by Northrop Grumman.

The B-21 left the Northrop facility at U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, at sunrise on Friday at 6:51 a.m., offering the first improvised view of the new bomber that was developed under strict security.

The aircraft went to Edwards Air Base, California, where it will continue with the flight test phase with USAF. The flight lasted about 90 minutes.

With the Cerberus callsign, the aircraft took off eastward with an F-16 companion plane after climbing about 500 feet. The landing gear was not collected, according to videos and photos that appeared on social networks.

U.S. Air Force leaders did not disclose the first flight of the B-21, but about three dozen aviation enthusiasts and amateur photographers gathered around Plant 42 on Friday in the hope of seeing the bomber rise to the skies.

The B-21, which carries the same "flying wing" format as its predecessor, the B-2, will be able to launch conventional and nuclear weapons around the world, using long-range and in-flight refueling capabilities.

The aircraft are projected to cost approximately $550 million each in 2010 dollars, or about $750 million in current inflation-adjusted dollars. However, the USAF kept other price information confidential, “which makes it difficult to validate the proposed cost,” the Congressional Research Service said in a 2021 report.

The U.S. Air Force plans to buy at least 100 planes and start replacing the B-1 and B-2 bombers. The B-1 costs about US$ 60,000 per hour to operate and the B-2 costs about US$ 65,000 per hour, according to Pentagon data.

Ann Stefanek, USAF spokesperson, said: “The B-21 Raider is in flight tests. Flight tests are a critical step in the testing campaign managed by the Air Force Test Center and the 412ª Combined Test Wings B-21 Test Force."

Six test aircraft are being produced now. They are being built on the same line, using the tools, processes and technicians that will build the production aircraft.

Northrop defeated a team composed of Boeing and Lockheed Martin when it won the 2015 contract to manufacture the bomber. Engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, Collins Aerospace, GKN Aerospace, BAE Systems and Spirit Aerosystems are among more than 400 suppliers in 40 states.

The B-21 was publicly presented in December 2022, but the expectation around its first flight had been growing for years.

In 2019, an important Air Force general suggested that the bomber could fly as early as December 2021, but the Force subsequently postponed this date to mid-2022. In early 2022, the USAF postponed even more until 2023.

The B-21 program is in the engineering and manufacturing development phase and the first aircraft will be delivered to Ellsworth Air Force Base in North Dakota.

Northrop is calling the plane a sixth-generation aircraft due to its ability to connect to other aircraft and easily integrate future weapons into its systems architecture.

The B-21 also features surface material with low observation, more durable and stealthy, which should require less maintenance and reduce operating costs and downtime.

Pentagon as Pentagon Songs / Covers

(... that I associate them with, purely self-opinion)

Jinho

hmmm "Someday - Song By JINHO, HUI"?

i feel like Jinho really slayed the vocals on that one you know

if it's not "Someday" then it would probably be "Round 2 - Bonus Track" because #jinhoWWEcommentator era

"Spring Snow"!!!!!! SPRING SNOW.

spring snow.

i loved how excited he was at wanting to perform "Spring Snow" for Road to Kingdom

and also the feels

Hui

would it be basic if i said "Shine"??? not if it's the truth ...

"Shine"

because come on, we all know why it's "Shine", what are you talking about if it's not "Shine"???

maybe "Happiness" because i felt like Hui in that M/V was pretty memorable

but also his line in "Organic song" (E'dawn, Yuto, Woo Seok With Hui), both in the original when Dawn performed it by himself in Pentagon Maker and also the released track

"Basquiat"?? VOCAL KING.

Hongseok

honestly the first thing that comes to mind is "Very Good - PENTAGON Version" (originally by Block B) from RTK

the chocolate abs left an impression

and also the "it's okay as long as he doesn't dance inappropriately afterwards" - an RTK staff member

"Dr. Bebe"

the chocolate back left an impression

"Sparkling Night" because his Oppa-ness really popped off there, ESPECIALLY in this Special Live Clip, wow that video really took me to heaven and back you know, i ascended

Shinwon

if i'm going for associated images seared into my brain, i would pick "DO or NOT" because #jokershinwon era and also "Feelin' Like" even though i know he doesn't like it because POOL SHINWON??? shinwon with GLOVES??? ma lord almighty,,,

if i'm going for music music, it would be "Daisy" because he does my favourite line in that entire song ("haengbokhaeya dwae") in that whisper/breathy tone, sorry i'm just simping at this point

but by that logic, i would also associate him with "Naughty Boy" because of the chicken lyric ... it really stuck

if i don't put "One Shot" here, am i really a Shinwon fan?

so "One Shot" because he wrote it

Yeo One

"Pretty Pretty", definitely

high school Yeo One.

nerd Yeo One era.

mushroom Yeo One era.

Yeo One with GLASSES.

also "Eat" (originally by Zion.T) because :( Pentagon Maker :( Yan An :( comfort chocolate :( ("saranghae ... yO")

Yeo One's verse in "Round 1 - Bonus Track", specifically the part where he goes "nappeun saram ... Yanan, Yanan, Yanan"

Yanan

"Feelin' Like"

muscles.

absolute massive badonkerhonker muscles.

but also "Daisy" because i really like the way he dances in it, feels floaty and nice

also "Eat", for the same reasons as Yeo One

also "Round 1", specifically the part where he goes "(ya geuraedo bang gachi sseuneunde) HWAJANGSHI!!!"

Yuto

probably an unpopular opinion but "Shine" is one of them

his rap and the transition back to the group formation in their "Shine" stages left a sensation in my brain that i don't know how to explain

that one unique #notlikeothergirls "Yuto-da" in "Fantasystic"

those verses of Japanese rap in "Cerberus"? chef's kiss.

that low-toned Wooseok!mock-scream in "Round 2"

Kino

first of all, "Dr. Bebe", for less superficial reasons than Hongseok

like i really, and i mean REALLY love his entire persona in "Dr. Bebe"

from the stages to M/V, the facial expression and stature and makeup were EVERYTHING

in chinese, there's this thing we call 病态 (bìng tài), which directly translates to "state of being sickly" and it sounds kind of wack if you put it like that, but basically the way he embodied that psychological inner warfare in his dance and expressions was absolutely Oscar-worthy

"Daisy" because of his tattoo, and his florist dreams, and his dance, and that mafia dance variety thing they did

just. "Daisy". yeah.

Wooseok

i don't know if it's because of his unique rapping tone, but i associate him with a lot of Pentagon's songs

i mean he wrote and composed my absolute favourite Pentagon song, "BAD"

he also did "Nostalgia", which i like

his verse in "Sparkling Night"??? vocal Wooseok???

"Naughty Boy"??????????

okay that one because i hated his hair in it, i'm sorry Wooseok

but also i felt like he was so intrinsically linked with that song for some reason

it just screamed Wooseok to me

uhm

"The Magic Flute ("Der Hölle Rache" - Queen of the Night aria)"

oops

i'm sorry that was just for the crack i swear

[shadowetienne]

Continuing my tripping and falling into following Pentagon closely several years late, thanks this time to more recommendations from @jinhogwarts (I hope that you don’t mind me continuing to do these as posts, it’s helping me track my enjoyment of their music):

@shadowetienne alright i'm up!! i'll try to give recommendations i think you'll like, sorry if i repeat something you already know or been recommended haha. more rockish songs - spring snow, dr. bebe, basquiat, one shot, spectacular, skateboard, lost paradise, their very good performance from road to kingdom, that's me, call my name, and their unit song (yuto kino wooseok) cerberus. not recommending daisy because i saw you already said you love it :)

@shadowetienne ran out of space lol so more ballad-y/vocal based songs: sparkling night, boy in time (hui solo), beautiful goodbye, nostalgia, someday (jinho x hui duet), camellia, til..., when it rains in night, off-road, nothing i can do, think about you, violet, stay, it's over, when i was in love, to universe, thank you (jinho x hui duet), pentagon, you are. also highly recommend looking up hui's solo songs from the show "breakers", especially navigation and for you

Please let me know which specific Road to Kingdom performance I should be looking for if I missed it! Putting this behind a cut because this got long:

Spring Snow

already reviewed here: https://at.tumblr.com/shadowetienne/more-pentagon-songs-thoughts-as-i-apparently-fall/1mb3h8oqxh7p (I love this song though, so you nailed it on the recommendation front.)

Dr. Bebe

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

I’m more likely to be already familiar with their title tracks, but I really like Dr. Bebe! It’s sort of in the same genre of their songs as Daisy in my head (and my best friend’s favorite Pentagon song, so I hear it pretty often). Excellent chorus!

Basquiat

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

This is incredible! I love the anthemic with harmonies thing they’ve got going on here. And the part where almost all the background drops out is flawless! Yes more of this please! I’d never heard this before, so I’ve been missing out for like 2 years. Only thing about this song I don’t like is the lack of Yannan.

One Shot

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

This was while Hui was doing his military service yes? I’m feeling the lack of his voice in this song, but I still like it a lot. Interesting use of call and response throughout. They created a really interesting audioscape with this.

Spectacular

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

I’m torn on this one. We’ve hit another, rap brings it down one for me, especially because what I’ve been discovering is that E’dawn’s style is not for me (I kind of already knew this prior to this deep dive). I love Hui’s parts especially, and all of my vocal set that I’ve apparently latched on to (Hui, Yannan, Yeo One, Hongseok). But the rap sections kind of lower my enjoyment of the song.

Skateboard

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

There are parts of this I like OK, but I think that it’s just not my mix of background sounds. It’s catchy. I like Hui, Hongseok, and Yeo One’s voices a lot (we’ve established this). It’s also missing Yannan in songs hours apparently.

Lost Paradise

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

I appreciate this for what it is, really like Hui’s parts. I’m not sure how I feel about the vocal quality that Wooseok is using here. This is a place where I appreciate Yuto’s rapping more. I think that it’s not quite my singing/rapping balance. It’s an interesting song though. I almost really like it. The low chanting part from Yuto is cool.

That’s Me

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

This is fun and catchy. It’s not quite in my zone of “yes this I will listen to this a ton” but it’s really well made and fun. I can definitely see this being an ear worm too.

Call My Name

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

I really like Yannan’s parts in this, and very much like Yeo One and Hongseok’s. It’s got a good groove going on, and the entire song flows well together. It’s missing Hui’s voice hours for me though (he’s got my absolute favorite voice in the group). Very good song though!

Cerberus

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

MV has gunshots, don’t do well with gunshots (sometimes they can be worked in subtly in a way that doesn’t make me flinch). I’m not much a fan of the stuff that leans heavily rap, so didn’t go find a different version to see if it doesn’t have the gunshots.

Sparkling Night

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

Missing Hui’s voice hours, but my other three favorite voices in the group are lovely here, and I like the overall soothing, soft, sweet sound of this. It’s lovely!

Boy in Time (Hui solo)

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

His voice is so beautiful. While I don’t on average like solo songs as much (vocal harmony and interplay is something I really love), this is delightful to me, and I am really enjoying the mournful bittersweet element of it. He really gets to show how rich and beautiful his voice is and I am here for it.

Beautiful Goodbye

Reviewed in the post linked above, but I love it.

Nostalgia

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

This is really catchy and easy to listen to. It does feel like there’s something missing to the build up of the song, but it feels like it would be an excellent part of an album listening experience.

Someday (Jinho and Hui)

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

I think that this delicate/gentle placement that Jinho is using is my favorite place in his voice in terms of vocal flavor. It’s a lovely contrast to the richness and fullness of Hui’s voice here, and I like how they’re working together. Jinho is incredibly talented, and some of his vocal choices can be hit and miss for me (entirely a personal preference/vocal flavor thing). I love their harmonies here, and I love this type of song so much!

When It Rains In Night

More missing Yannan hours happening. But I do really like this! They work their voices together really well. I really like this style of song in general. I like that I appreciate Kino’s voice in this song, it works really well for him.

Off-Road

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

I love this! Hongseok’s voice in this is so so good. I really appreciate Shinwon here! Hui and Yeo One and Yannan’s lines are so so good. I love the way they pass the lines between the different vocalists and their contrasting vocal flavors enhance the song and complement each other. You’ve found the rare beast of a song where E’dawn’s rapping works for me.

Nothing I Can Do

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

I am so very torn on this song. We are back to E’Dawn’s rapping not being my thing. But also we have beautiful beautiful Yannan and Hongseok call and response, and incredible Yeo One vocals that I love. And the style of Hui’s voice that brings forward some of my favorite things about it. So like... I’m torn. I would love this song so much more with no rap in it at all honestly.

Think About You

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

Some beautiful harmonies, really like what vocal line has going on here. But similar to Nothing I Can Do, E’Dawn’s doing the thing I don’t enjoy again. I’d like this song much better without rap in general again honestly. Love Hongseok’s voice especially in this.

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

Yes! This is what I wanted the last few songs to be. This is beautiful! Wonderful start with Yeo One’s voice. Ooh, Jinho in the placement that he uses that I like. Yeo One and Yannan harmonization!!!! The harmonies used in general! Hui’s voice!!! Hongseok’s voice!!! Just voices! Excellent mingling of vocal flavor! No rapping to disrupt the flow of the song. Very good, excellent, exactly what I wanted!

It’s Over

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

Well this is another I’m deeply torn song. We’ve got another I don’t like E’Dawn’s rapping style at all song going on here, and the rest of the rapping in the song doesn’t really add anything for me. On the other hand that brilliant moment where we have Hui, Hongseok, Jinho, Yeo One harmonization going on is amazing. It almost bumped it up one level on the chart for me, except that I sat through an earlier part of the song making a face.

When I Was In Love

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

There’s some soundscaping stuff that’s weird for me in the track, but overall, I really like this song! Bonus points for E’Dawn’s voice being perfectly fine for me in this song. I’m determining when he does the deeper more lyrical style it doesn’t make me wince. Like Shinwon’s voice in this quite a bit along with my usual four.

To Universe

Reviewed in first linked post

Thank You (Jinho and Hui)

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

I love Hui’s voice so so much! Jinho doing the things I like that he does. I think I will probably like most if not all duets that they do because the ways that their voices complement each other seems to encourage Jinho to lean into the things he does that I like. They are both so talented, and this is a wonderful song!

Pentagon

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library 

We are back to my E’Dawn problem. (To be really really clear, this is a me problem, his vocal flavor for my synesthesia where I taste sounds is just... not working to the point it makes me wince in most placements he uses.) Love the “I’m furious” cycle through vocalists. Love Yeo One’s voice in this so much (along with the rest of my usual four).

You Are

couldn’t listen all the way through | not my thing | it’s okay | kinda catchy | ok i really like this | downloading immediately | already in my library

Vocals only song!!!! I love this so much! They all sound so good! It’s so gentle and melancholy and I love the soundscape dropping element. The harmonic elements when they are all singing together. This is the sort of thing that just makes me so happy! The way Hui’s voice just ties everything together at the end.

pretty/fun/etc mvs! - a.c.e, favorite boys director's cut, down - yena, smartphone - day6, darling of the beach - woodz, feel like, love me harder, - pentagon, naughty boy, violet, cerberus - sunmi, siren, heartburn - chungha, play, stay tonight - sf9, summer breeze (i know you don't care for suits but the vibes are cool) - weki meki, crush - rocket punch, ring ring - fromis_9, love bomb - the boyz, bloom bloom, drink it - btob, outsider - kingdom, excalibur

the a.c.e mvs just made me kind of sad even though they are not sad in any way😭 also they just reminded me of how beautiful and talented they are💖

oh smartphone was very cute, and kind of keeping in line with the aesthetics of her last mv too!

darling on the beach was a crazy trip😭 very bright and colorful which was nice!

woodz is so…. ya know? feel like changed my life! one of his best looks, best songs, the mv is visually stunning. i don’t think i’d seen the full mv for love me harder but what a fun concept and fun twist!

naughty boy song of my liiiife! violet definitely a contender for top ptg song. and all i could hear in cerberus was “we are care bears”

oh the sunmi mvs were both very cool but the heartburn plot is crazy!!!!

chungha always delivers visually stunning music videos, so good

summer breeze was a very fun watch!! and these suits were good because there was variety☺️

ahh weme.. love them so much! great song, great mv!

i feel bad, ring ring was kind of boring to me. pretty but didn’t hook me:/

love bomb had a nicely executed concept!

the whiplash between those two tbz mvs is crazy. we have fun loving extraterrestrial baseball players. then we do a 180 to homoerotic vampires. gotta love the variety!

the outsider.. SO MANY THINGS ARE GOING ON!! i love this music video and the song is so vibey omg

KINGDOM IS SO FUCKING COOL I LOVE THEIR CONCEPT SO MUCH. After having seen the rest of their stuff as they’ve released it going back to their debut/introduction is soooo neat. Like all of the nods to their future works in this mv is so brilliant. Also do they say “open the gate” in all of their songs?? I’m gonna need a lore check on this.

hiii pentagon and ooo for the ask game? 🥰

for ooo:

my first bias: wookjin my current bias(es): wookjin, sungho, yongsoo my album and/or era ranking (or favorite of each): okay my favorites off their releases are savanna, onlyoneof you, all of line sun goddess, designer, libido, night flight, gaslighting, and of the solos begin has been my fav how i got into them: libido was actually the first kpop mv i ever saw. i saw some art of a figure skater and went to go look at the artist and they mostly drew idols and then that somehow led to me seeing a libido gifset and it must have had the mv linked because then i went to watch it and i thought it was really good and then somehow that ended up leading me to a list on tumblr of kpop songs/mvs with queer subtext and i decided to listen to them for fun and ended up making my own playlist with some of them on it. just a few days before that i had found some of skzs songs and so it all kind of unraveled from there and now you have the whole story of how i got into kp. however i didn't really pay attention to ooo until this year which member would be my best friend: i feel like i could get along with all of them really well! something i associate with them (or with a bias/any member): saying the weirdest shit ever

for ptg:

my first bias: ?                                                                                                                      my current bias(es): jinho..i think my album and/or era ranking (or favorite of each): this would be a lot of work so i’m just going to mention a few of my favorite songs. do or not (banger i was dancing to it last night), the game (unlocked something inside of me), cerberus, and this one is only hui but boy in time how i got into them: this one is way less interesting bc i have zero clue but i do know the first song i heard of theirs was critical beauty which member would be my best friend: probably another group i would get along with equally something i associate with them (or with a bias/any member): talent!!!

#2 onwards was after his cube contract ended, #2-6 were part of the "if this is love, i don't want a refund" album, and #7-8 were recent single releases!

here is the setlist for the korean version of this concert with translations - there's actually a few ptg songs on there actually (shine, spring snow, sparkling night, nostalgia, cerberus, probably a few more?), it basically looks like 1/2 his official releases + 1/4 ptg songs + 1/4 his soundcloud songs. however I don't know if the setlist will change for the US tour + for the ptg songs if he did them in their entirety or just parts of them (like I saw a clip from his other concert where shine was just a sing-along of the chorus with the audience).

also if it encourages anyone, all stops except for NY still have VIP packages available where you can meet kino and take a photo (photos?) with him!

I'm sure he'd love to meet unis no matter how long they've been a fan 🥺 his english is also really good now, you can hear him speak in some tiktoks and he'll caption posts/reply to people in english and knows like trends and memes lmao. and I think most if not all his post-cube songs are all in english?

he made an IG for the tour with more info (@kino.tour) and here's an abbreviated concert description as well (if you live in other countries I hope kino comes tour near you!! I see a lot of people ask about europe and south america in his comments)

He was born for the stage and he lives to entertain audiences. From his mesmerizing dance moves to entirely rearranged set list for a live band setting, the entertainment-packed show is set to stimulate all your senses. KINO started his career in music as a member of a popular K-pop boyband, PENTAGON. He honed his artistry in every way he could as a singer, dancer, painter, producer, composer and choreographer. In 2023, he established his own label, NAKED to expand his launch his solo career. The all-rounder once commented that the reason for him to take this life challenge was to test out his limit outside of his comfort zone. With his music, he wants to get connected with audiences with genuine stories and feelings that everyone can relate to. His first EP, "If this love, I want a refund" was dubbed 'a diary of our lives' and was ranked the second highest new entry on Worldwide iTunes album chart; From the lead single 'Broke My Heart (feat. Lay Bankz)' to 'Solo' the 5 track represented a full cycle of a relationship. From music to tour, KINO's been taking a role as an executive producer on all of the projects under NAKED, bringing his creative ideas to life. Out of all, what KINO enjoys the most is meeting audience at a live event; sharing emotions and creating co-experienced memories by interacting with audiences in the same room. KINO's ready to bring the best performance of your life, come meet him at the show.
