Wings Over Whiteman 2010

These pictures are from the Whiteman Air Force Base open house at Whiteman Air Force Base, locasted in the small town of Knob Noster, Missouri. Whiteman is home to all of the United States B-2 Stealth Bombers and this is one of the VERY few times the B-2 is on static display on the ground for people to get up close and see it first hand. Me and Molly took a trip down to MO specifically for this show because ive been waiting over 20 years to see a B-2 bomber in person.

Time to put the expensive toys away:


Sunday morning I decided to explore some backroads and found a field at the end of the runway on public property and two B-2s took off RIGHT over my head! This aint your everyday ordinary B-2 flyover, this thing was low enough to read the writing on the bottom of the plane!:
