Great pictures there, Awesome the B-2 always looks spectacular! last saw one in person 23 years ago at Mildenhall but they always amaze me. Like that fancy style marking type on the parked Herc does that denote a Squadron Commander's Aircraft in the USAF?

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful captures

Really nice captures, have to agree B2’s always raise lots of interest. Seasons greetings

Wouldn't it be OC Wing? What I find as interesting is that it carries the last five on the tail, whereas the other one follows the format of AF-FY-nnn.
