CHAT Plane spotting B2

[Macgyver]

So twice today I heard a plane overhead that did not seem quite normal. Second time I got up to take a look and only saw it for a second. Thought something looked "off".

Well these pics were stolen from a local FB page.





Apparently they were doing fly overs of the eagles game in Philadelphia. We must have been on the other end of the circle. 40 some miles away.

The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear munitions. A dramatic leap forward in technology, the B-2 brings massive firepower to bear, in a short time,

The B-2 is "old" technology now. The U.S. just unveiled the follow-on stealth bomber (B-21 Raider).

I believe you're thinking about Lockheed. They still built some amazing aircraft like the SR-71's, F-22's and F-117's and such. The B-2 and this new B-21 are built by Northrop Grumman.

Edited: forgot about U-2, the predecessor to the SR-71.

I live in the area of Mo that we get a lot of flyover's. Normally once you hear them, they are already gone. A low roar.

Just another tool to spread sodomy and evil upon the world….

They announced it and showed everyone a mock-up. That means it's already obsolete.
