With this bearing down RIAT have just announced a B2 Spirit on static. Just a quick question too people who've seen one on static display before; What's it like too photograph, i.e is it parked with a small army of security guards who'll keep getting in the shot or is it just like any other aircraft?

That's a good question Dan, never seen one on static display. They have always done a flyover and head back to Whiteman.

Yes to all.. I've seen it on static 3 times. Only once in the open. Other two times were in hangers. Maybe a little more lax over but I doubt it.

See you both there

Weather atm is looking like sunshine & showers. Which compared too monsoon conditions they predicted the other day is a significant improvement.
