B-2 Bomber Flight Operations At Nellis AFB

I work near the air base and let me tell you something when i first saw this beast flying low and "slow"(slower than all of the other planes) i was mesmerized and so proud that America builts these incredible machines! I never get tired of watching military aircraft. Use to work close to Mira Mar airbase. Especially when planes would be coming in for the air show. I live about 45 miles from the base where the majority of the B2s are parked in the US and get to see four or more at low altitude about twice a week when I'm playing golf. Beautiful plane and very quiet until they pull the nose up and go full throttle as they climb away. The exhaust is on top of the wing so most of the noise is deflected up and they can be right on top of you before you hear them, even at the altitude they fly here. Saw one in the air as I was driving down into Vegas, looked like a short pencil line in the sky, and then it made a banked turn, and holy shit it was a stealth!!! Coolest thing ever to barely see a thin line to seeing a whole aircraft that low right by the freeway! It’s amazing to watch these take off. Saw one at Wings over Whiteman a few years ago. The shuttle bus I was riding into the base was parked on one of the taxi ways to allow the B2 to pass before take off. When it taxied by it was probably 50 yards away. I didn’t realize how big it was until that day.
