Fantastic air-to-air video of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber conducting a flyover at Rose Bowl 16
On Jan. 1, 2016, a B-2 Spirit with 509th Bomb Wing from Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, opened the Rose Bowl college football bowl game played at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California with a flyover that was filmed from a helicopter. (theaviationist.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Batman has all the cool toys.
Just what you use a 2 billion per copy bomber for at a cost of 100 grand an hour
A B2 overflew the Rose Bowl Parade on a cold, drizzly morning: Jan 1st, 2000. It may have been the first Rose Bowl flyover for the B2. We were all just thankful that the world hadn't come to an end ;-)
What a trip, does it emit sound?
They can be quite loud, around 1995 or so the Vance AFB open house/airshow had one do a demonstration flyby. I was watching from a street a mile north of the runway there was a stop in the show so I thought it had ended turned around to walk home and it was right on top of me headed south, I didn't hear a thing until it passed me then there was quite the rumble.
Yes.
Any reason why we need to pay to fly an extremely expensive aircraft all the way from Whiteman to CA, when there are thousands of military AC in California? Most people and paradegoers do not know a B-2 from a B-52 anyway. Sounds like a huge waste of money that could be used elsewhere.
