Well, not on the internet, but......

While exercising my old bones today, I saw a lesser spotted B-2 Spirit over the town. Heading west at about 5,000 to 7,500 feet by my estimation. It was striking in that it was not striking and had a similar sound signature to the general aviation I used to hear while right underneath the Heathrow landing pattern. I thought it might be different somehow. Concord, THAT was special.


Either way, a B-2 Spirit over the UK is not exactly an everyday sight.

They are a striking sight to see.

Every new years day at 0:810 The USAF does a B2 flyover my house at under 3500 ft.

When I go to my folks, I drive past Whiteman AFB, so I used to see them with some regularity. Didn't see any last weekend, though.


My old girlfriend's son is the only person to have been far into the inner workings of all active B2's. A part needed to be replaced in all of them, and he was the only one skinny enough and short enough to get into the area where the part is located.
