A round trip for a single B2 (not counting ordnance) is in the ballpark of 1.6 million dollars. Not counting pilot salary, bombs, and any additional loitering time or mid air refueling.

1.6 million dollars.

Someone is getting this money, that's what I always forget. This plane is not spending money, it is money generating machine.
