Stopped by a friends house yesterday and caught these pictures of a couple B-2 Stealth Bombers. Luke Air Force Base is close by and he's in the flight path. These are from his camera (Cannon) because my phone couldn't capture them as clear.


This was mine as you can see not as clear as the rest.

It's amazing how quiet they are coming at you. After they pass is a different story

Exactly! At first I thought I couldn't tell what it was and thought we were getting invaded by aliens. ? Then after they passed a few times it was obvious what they were and yes...loud!

Awesome pictures, even the cell phone one, because it still reminds you of the experience you had. I have seen B 2 flyovers several times at at Thunder over Louisville and at the Indy 500. As a child (5 or six years old) living in the flight path of Wright Patterson AFB I could identify B52 bombers as they flew over. I never lost the absolute fascination with the military planes, and getting a good picture is still a thrill.


This is a B52 flyover at Thunder over Louisville in 2010

Great pics, Dave! They could use some dampers on the bomb doors!
I'm working on a contract now with the DOD. ?

Very cool. I used to watch (in awe) fighter jets on their way into Luke AFB while mountain biking in the White Tank Mountains when I had my place in Verrado. Always impressed by them but never saw one of those - wow!

That's where I was out in Verrado. The flight path goes right through part there and he gets some great shots just about every day. I could sit and watch them all day long and we've pulled over on the 303 a few times just to watch them doing training exercises. ✈

Just up at the end of Lost Creek Dr., between the 15th and 16th holes of the Verrado golf course, there’s a network of hiking and mountain biking trails beside the old Caterpillar Proving Grounds - only a mile from my place.

You wouldn't recognize the area there now. Victory at Verrado is really nice and is in the back north corner (just past the Basha's plaza) with a nice restaurant and golf course. Indian School Rd from Jackrabbit west is all built up with a huge Fry's, new high school and other businesses.

Hi Duke,

We now have the Caterpillar Proving Grounds just outside of Green Valley, AZ.

Best,
Phil
