The South Korean military confirmed the jet passed over the Korean Peninsula as part of their joint aerial drill.
North Korea has denounced the move as pushing the nations to the brink of nuclear war.
The bomber flew from Guam and joined US F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters in the exercises with South Korea.
The drills, which kicked off on Monday and will run until Friday, are being conducted at a time of heightened tensions on the peninsula.
They also come after North Korea tested last week what it called its most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that could hit the US mainland.
Hermit state dictator Kim Jong-un, speaking through his official KCNA state news agency, said at the weekend Trump was “begging for nuclear war” by staging the drills.
It also labelled Trump as “insane”.
The drills also coincided with a rare visit to the isolated North by United Nations political affairs chief Jeffrey Feltman.
Some analysts and diplomats hope Feltman’s visit to North Korea could spark a UN-led effort to defuse rising international tensions over Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programmes.
