I had the chance to see one of these in the sky, once.  They can only be described as "eerie".

True! Saw one at an airshow and even at low altitude you could almost not hear it! It seemed impossible that that big of a machine could just hang in the air like that with such little engine noise. My first thought was thats "spooky"

That’s a fact. I saw one do a fly over at the Frederick, MD air show. It’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a UFO. When it’s coming at you, all you’ll see is thin black line and you won't hear a thing until it’s directly overhead.

It truly is leading-edge technology, even more impressive when you consider how long ago it was designed. 'Course, that was when we were painting the Rooskis as being 10 ft tall, when in reality they were only 5'6".

That's why they call it the B-2 "Spirit". But "Spooky Black Flying Ghost" would be more appropriate. :-)

Eerie is right. Almost bat-like refueling with this KC-10.

Compare it with the other two bombers we have (although damn few B-52s are remaining...and the Bush Administration decommissioned HALF the B-1B fleet)

At any rate...having SEVEN B-2s on station and ready to go at one time is hardly a "Fleet".

I live in Central Missouri and they fly over my house every once in awhile.

No kiddin'! I saw one fly over during an air show at Hill AFB... it looked like a scene from "Batman Goes Militant."
