I'm out front chattin with my ex when this tremendous roar comes up. We look up and we both just about shit. A fucking B-2 Spirit! We both yelled "HOLY SHIT!!!" It was fairly low, coming from an airshow nearby. It was awesome to see one up close. By the time it flew out of sight I felt like a kid who just watched the carnival leave town. I wanted moar. Awesome, awesome bird.

Nice, definitely one of the most unique aircraft out there. You don't realize it until close up to one of them, but they are almost alien technology.
Oh, and the cockpit is definitely UFO material:

I love sonic booms. I haven't heard one in years. What a magic sound. I used to live on the final approach to Dobbins AFB in north Atlanta. We'd get those fat C-5s coming in over our apartment building, just kinda hanging there in the air, almost as though they were hovering. I even had a chance to go to the airshow today, but knew I wouldn't have time. I should have made time.

It was quite bizarre to realize what I was looking at. That sawtooth pattern jolted me. I've only seen it on TV before. That cockpit is wild. I'm starting to feel like firing up a flight simulator, maybe fly some bombing missions in an F-16.

That fucking thing is awesome! I have seen it a few times at the start of the Indy 500 race. And I swear I must have seen what may have been a next generation stelth fly directly overhead at maybe 250 feet late one night at our lakehouse. The thing barely made any noise.

Yeah, B-2 is pretty impressive in flight. Especially when its unexpected. I've seen them on a couple ocassions.
Most impressive thing I ever saw along the same lines was one evening during a backpacking trip. We were camped out at about 12,000 feet on the West side of Mount Whitney (we were going to the top in the morning). We had finished dinner, camp was all set up, and we sat back and watched a beautiful sunset over the Sierra Nevada mountain range. As twighlight was fading I noticed something approaching in the sky from our right. It was an SR-71 refueling behind a tanker with an F-16 fighter running alongside as an escort. They were sillouetted against an orange sky and not much higher then us (remember, we were at 12,000 feet). They passed by, flying low down the mountain range, and were still fueling as they went out of sight. It was awesome!

I wonder what it was. It sounds fantastic. The B-2 was around for a good while before they rolled it out. It's not hard to believe they have something better up their sleeves.
