Man that thing has existed for like a decade(or two?) and it still looks like alien tech

It went into service 20 years ago this April, but it was first flown in 89
That's the road back from my girlfriend's place. Neat. Wish I'd been there to see it.
They look so fucking cool, shit.

I wonder if there's an airshow in the area.
Wow, extremely close to me. Wish I'd been there to see it
I like how it practically makes no sounds whatsoever.
Something about a bomber passing overhead is incredibly eerie. Like having a huge gun pointed at you for just a few seconds.
With all that traffic going on I bet 90% of people didn't notice until it got close to them. Imagine a jet this quiet yet so fast and packing a ton of punch to the front.

I'm surprised it's that low. I saw a flyby at an air show and it wasn't even that close.

Landing probably

it also really doesn't help that the B-2 has a really unique profile and shape. if you didn't know any better, youd just assume that was an alien spaceship. even for me, as a guy interested in military stuff, it looks really bizarre in-motion. there's nothing about it that looks like a traditional plane.

Saw one at a NASCAR race that was at least that close. You couldn't hear it over the cheering crowd at the end of the national anthem. Only noticed it after the mass pointing. A few minutes later it came back around and gave us an encore as the race was getting started and everyone cheered.

We get Apaches all the time flying over my house. 30mm chain gun included. About as close to literally having a huge gun pointed at me as I'd like to get.

Apaches are stupid loud, even from half a mile away the sound physical shakes you.
I live near Moffet Airfield and my friend described seeing something over Dumbarton Bridge that matched a B-2.
I don't really see much here. I've seen a convoy of humvees drive down 880 twice, a blackhawk over the nature preserve I jog at, and an F-18 flying over our homes. I've never actually seen any warships in SF bay but I have seen the mothball fleet at Valencia

I was at RAF Valley, expecting a fairly generic lineup of planes coming in and out when i had an apache land about 50 ft infront of me, almost blowing me out of my fold up chair.
I always remember freezing my ass off that morning and being super glad to feel the jetwash from a eurofighter to warm me up as it taxi'd past. I've yet to see a B2 tho :C
