We were fortunate to have a B-2 stealth bomber as a static display at the Scott Air Force base air show this last weekend. I was able to talk with one of the pilots (Jason) of this amazing craft and he said this was one of the first static displays of the B-2. You are only allowed to view the front and kept at least 25 feet away.
Now the bad news, they displayed it in a dark hanger with a terrible amount of backlighting from windows there...oh well at least I was able to see and take a few pics and meet the crew.
Here is Jason and his bird:
