Aren't the only B-2s in the US are stationed in Missouri? And that IS a 3 billion craft you are just taking for a joy ride.

FlyinTiger - Thanks for today - as well as what you do in flying for the country. BTW, my son is a recruiter for the LA ANG in Bell Chasse. He deployed this morning for the storm, so I haven't had an opportunity to tell him about the flyover.

What does that mean 30 seconds late? What is the ideal time for this?

I think it was supposed to be timed so that it coincided with the end part of the national anthem.

I almost fell over when it happened. It was very awesome. Got me pumped and then the sun deflated (sp.) me.

We sit high in the south endzone. I could see them coming in from the north. I scrambled for my camera and almost had them. It was really impressive.
Thanks!

I'm in the band, and I was on the field for pregame. We were just standing there at attention during the flag-raising. We were told at practice the other day that there would be a fly-over at the end of the national anthem. So I thought they flew over already and I just couldn't hear it because we were playing.

I was staring straight forward and couldn't look up so I just hear a huge roar and a shadow flash by.
Needless to say it scared the shite out of me.
