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?

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.
