B-2 Spirit at Edwards AFB

Damsel and I have had the privilege of visiting the B2 production facility at Palmdale, CA, Air Force Plant 42 during an open house. After the factory walk-through, we went out on the tarmac for a presentation ceremony. At the conclusion of the presentation, we were treated to a low-altitude flyby of the Spirit of California. It was truly a breathtaking experience for us. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any pictures since cameras weren’t allowed on that part of the base. But not to worry – Richard Seaman (a friend of a friend of a friend, etc.), was at the 2005 Edwards Air Show and took some pictures and put them on his website. He also provides lots of informative comments as you scroll through the pictures. There are some useful links at the bottom of the page as well. Just awesome! Go look at the B-2 Spirit

Hat tip to our friend Dr. Dave for sending this link.
