READ BEFORE COMMENTING: I rarely use the word 'Amazing' in my descriptions, but in this case, I thought it was fitting. Apparently so amazing that many people think it is fake or ai generated video, which it is NOT! I suggest that users read the full description of this video before posting ignorant comments about how fake the video is, or how the military would never allow this. We do this type of thing all the time for airshow flyovers. There is absolutely nothing fake about this video. And for those who don't know what a GoPro looks like and are saying there is not one, try looking in left hand at 0:34. Cell phone was brought out to use in right hand in addition. This footage is all from the GoPro! VIEW of FLYOVER from the GROUND: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWnIpmyHap2hiLM

Then around sundown the sky suddenly faded to black, all the birds outside took off from the trees and there was an odd silence. I go outside and soon as I open the door I look up and there’s a B-2 right over my head. Extremely intimidating… so glad they’re ours and not our enemies.

@@Ralf0815 Except the Horten plane never went into production. The only thing that plane and B-2 have in common is the rough shape. And the Horten was a terrible design, it had the pilot sitting jammed between the two jet engines, dooming him in the event of failure -which is exactly what happened on the test flight of the only prototype that flew. Engine caught fire, pilot burned, crash, done and over. B-2 is of course completely new technologies and design, there's no comparison.

Super cool. I’m not a big plane guy, but happened to be driving through Chicago on a cross country trip on the day of the Chicago Air Show at Navy Pier and decided to swing a bit out of the way and check it out. Well, they showed off all kinds of cool planes, but then there was a lull in the action and people were just talking to one another going “what’s going on, why are there no planes? Is the show over?”. Suddenly you heard this big jet whoosh overhead and looked up to see the enormous silhouette of a B-2 flying directly over you at an incredibly low altitude just above the tallest building on the pier, all while flying incredibly, incredibly slowly. What was amazing to me was that you could not hear it AT ALL when it was coming and not 5 seconds after it passed the pier, it was barely audible. Anyway, the announcer spent a bunch of time talking about “acoustic stealth” tech on the B-2 and it totally blew my mind that I hadn’t even considered the concept of stealth tech being in the realm of acoustics. Man…. All I can say is that if you were the enemy, you wouldn’t have much time to figure out that a B-2 was directly overhead, much less that it had already released its payload…. Amazing stuff.

While it was “quiet” for a jet, it was certainly audible but just the way that it went silent->audible->silent that quickly and at that range (maybe 300-500ft above ground?) was crazy. Definitely was not expecting it. That experience has turned me into somewhat of an airplane “enjoyer” and I’ve been lucky to see one of the last B-29’s still flying at a local airshow because I remembered how cool the Chicago airshow was and decided to go!

Wow! Incredible footage you have taken. In 2021 I was given the opportunity to go to Whiteman Air Force Base and be given a tour of their base. This was when I was in ROTC at my collage. At the base we go to meet the Base commander and they showed us some videos and pictures of what they do and then before we left the main building they confiscated all of our electronics. No phones, cameras, key fobs, anything with a battery we had to put in the plastic bin. After that they took us on a bus and drove us out to the hangers and went into the Spirit of Washington hanger ( all B-2's are named the "spirit of ____" ). We had 2 pilots with us and they showed us around the plane and they even allowed us to sit inside the cockpit. Now with this video of showing the B-2 fly up close it is still one of my most favorite bombers in the US Air Force.

The T-38's are rock steady throughout the run with their high wing loading compared to the B-2, which is displaying the exact opposite characteristics with its low wing loading at near empty weight.

The Encyclopedia of Aircraft (Jackson et al ) describes the B-2 as reportedly being agile with handling that is "fighter-like". I'd be curious to see this in real life and how well this statement bears up to scrutiny. It certainly seems less stable the the T-38s in the roll axis but it's hard to tell given the camera angles and distances and the inevitable turbulence so close to the ground.

They just defy the brain to believe it can fly, yes wings and aero dynamics and all those wonderful computers and the fabulous engineers at Northrop that make it work , but seeing it up close like that and banking heavily it looks like it should just slide straight down to the ground. amazing piece of technology,

I grew up wondering how these aircrafts were possibly stealth, they just looked like triangles. But now I get it.
@Jasoos_Jasonda2 ай бұрын
Stealth comes from the radar signature, they’re not really invisible.
@RandomRoulett32 ай бұрын
@@Jasoos_Jasonda Radar signature means cross-section. When you take an angular 2D shape such as a triangle and rotate it so its XY plane is perpendicular to a radar (or even your eyes), the cross sectional area of that shape reduces more per angle than if that shape were a circle or a square. Of course, the B-2 Spirit also uses radar energy absorbing materials, but the shape is extremely important.

Damn. I had to do a triple take because I really thought this was cgi. The super trimmed landscape on top of the go pro's stabilization made this look like a next gen flight simulator. Absolutely amazing footage. Thank you for sharing.

To me it almost looked like it was struggling to stay in the air. I think these are inherently unstable and HAVE to be stabilized by computer. Maybe someone who knows what they're talking about can chime in with something more coherent 😀

From my understanding at least for civilian aircraft a part can not be replaced by anything that hasnt been approved by the faa for that aircraft. So even if the part is better and newer it cant be used unless its an experimental. But this may be different for military aircraft.
