B-2 Rumour!

Post by eagle driver » Fri Feb 28, 2020 3:07 pm

Chuck this one in and see how far it bounces , Heard a rumour of 3 B-2s visiting tonight Hot pitting and departing again .
Anything more known or someone putting 2 &2 together with these light stands appearing.

They didn’t have light stands last time the B2s were here! I’ll say nonsense, but would be very happy to be proved wrong!!

Never going to happen in peace time without the necessary support in place before hand. I don’t believe any ground equipment for the B-2s are kept at Fairford either, unlike the B-52s.

Any chance this could be closed now? Notifications are getting a little bit tedious! :D

A news report popped up on my mobile yesterday saying that 3 B2 did indeed land at Fairford during Monday night but I'm surprised I cant find any corroborating writings anywhere. Fact or fiction - any ideas please?

Me thinks that would have been about midnight on 27-8-19, made 1 out of 3.

Cheers Martin.

It's the new stealth B2 gliders. Silent and towed around by Global Hawks. :P :ninja:
