4scourge7 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Wow, real nice video, and a real nice find Gregg. The shot of the B-2 skimming the cloud cover was entirely in keeping with it`s other wordly persona. Top banana! Folks should give this vid a spin. Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Cool video indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riffraff Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Very nice video, thank you. One question though, the anti-collision lights on the wings seem to be sticking up quite a bit to be stealthy. Is this the way they are all the time or is it more to give a return on radar during training missions. I noticed the same thing on the F-22 but was told by the ground crew that this was the way it is all the time. Cheers, Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JB2013 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Wow ... ! As I watch it flying over the desert I imagined it as an unknown craft flying over an 'alien world'. Its still amazing to see it fly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same with that blade antenna you can see on the lower aft surface. The F-117A does something similar, with retractable antenna & lights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What's amazing to me is that the B-2 has been flying for over 25 years... first flight was 17 July 1989 !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I gotta wonder what they used for the camera platform....hey Jake was that you in the rear office?, getting in some good seat time and excellent views of the "Spirit" in the sky....Thanx Gregg you always find the GOOD stuff B) .
