Yesterday morning I walked a couple blocks down the street and stood on a corner, looking up at a hillside not far away. Within minutes, a B-2 flying wing stealth bomber came over the hill, nosed down and flew straight at me. It did a banking turn right over my head, so low it seemed I could almost reach up and touch it. It leveled out and flew down the street. A few seconds later, it poured some coals on just to make some noise.
(I'm not far from where the Rose Parade starts.)
Chaucer:
A B-2 did a flyover at the Rose Bowl game. Imagine it’s the same one.
dudeman17:
Probably. It flies over the start of the parade at 8. Not sure exactly what time the game was, but that flyover was probably a few hours later? Also not sure where it comes from (Robert would probably know where to look for that), but my first top-of-the-head guess would be Edwards AFB. That plane could probably do that in a matter of minutes. So does it go back in between, or does it have a circuit of appearances to make? Dunno...

The B-2 was probably kept in a hangar at Edwards AFB between its flights in connection with the Rose Bowl. Security is a big issue for that aircraft. I think practically all of the 20 or so B-2s are based at Whiteman AFB, Missouri.

BTW: my ex gifted me with Internet service as a Christmas present, so I'm getting back in the saddle from ol' New York.

I saw Robert Earl Keene in concert about a couple years ago. (before COVID). He had Lyle Lovett with him.
His voice was a little blown out from the prior night, but still good show.
The DBC forum goes on forever, the posting never ends. :)
