I heard it and ran outside and got to see it too. My Canon camera is on the way back from the factory, had to get it repaired, so I didn't get photos. Thanks for putting them on.

By the way Canon fixed my Camera for free. Everything was blurred and I think they had a recall on it.

Where is/was the show today?

Yeah that was awesome. At first I said, "Oh look, someone's flying a big kite". Never seen one in flight either. I couldn't get enough of it.

I saw one in flight coming into the airport in Colorado Springs a few years back.

It flew over my house just as we were all in the backyard celebrating my son's 1st birthday. Perfect timing! How many kids get an Air Force flyover for their birthday.

Ken, that is great. Folsom can't even get them or anything else to fly over for our parades, at least we didn't have any the last time. I do remember a plane and/or a helicopter one year. With all the high power we have on the city council you would think we could get a nice fly over.

We saw it at my daughter's soccer game as well. I was watching my daughter's team and right there next to the storm clouds was the B2 Stealth Bomber. It was really cool. And I thought the thunder and lightning was cool. I took video of it since I was already videoing the game. What a great day.

Can't believe I missed this... I saw a replica once in a museum.

I saw one a couple years ago coming in from Beale, presumably for the air show. It's a simply amazing sight.
