B-2s Taxi & Take Off From RAF Fairford - 15th June 2014

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Something a little different, went out with dad to RAF Fairford to capture two Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirits taking off, back to Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. With radio commentary.
As you may know, my aircraft knowledge is fairly limited, so any extra information is appreciated.
Timestamps:
00:00 Taxiing
04:22 First Takeoff
05:46 Second Takeoff
Filmed on a Panasonic HS900 with a Pro Sound L92AA microphone.
Enjoy.

    When they first had it at an airshow in Fort Lauderdale,they parked it at Ft.Lauderdale International and allowed the public close access to it. The size alone was intimidating,you could stand under this craft and still not be able to reach the bottom of it. It's a huge black bat of badness I'll never forget being that close to it,and when it flew by us at the show,everybody on the beach got silent watching it come. It's hard to Guage it's size until it's on you and then it's just indescribable seeing it right there going by. The crowd went just crazy when it passed by,it just looks like it isn't possible that what we were seeing was real kind of feeling,and true WTF,THAT'S AWESOME!

After they passed over the stands and exited the area, the f-16 comes ripping back into the infield at a 90 degree to the front stretch at what had to be 500 agl, banked it hard and pulled enough g forces to pull condensation across the wings, before he got to the end of the front stretch he pointed it at the sky and burned the afterburner until at least 10k feet.

So I'm more impressed that the technology predates those two time periods! 😎 (Year 2000 is the last year of Century 20 and Millennium 2! It gives each their names!) With all of that grass and the nearby woods, no wonder the birds feel free to live there despite the fumes and noise! Who does the mowing, if any? Do they check for wildlife homes first? They would want to be careful that the blades don't sling or fling anything at the expensive airplanes! Congratulations on having such an experience! 🎉🎊 I miss going to airshows, but I don't miss the heat.

    Was on a golf course in North. CA many years ago. Had just teed up the ball when I realized a great shadow was creeping over. Saw the face of my golfing partner who was standing about ten yds away facing me. His mouth was agape and he was transfixed on something up above. I looked up and flying rather low overhead was this magnificent yet ominous looking black machine, NO NOISE at all. It was an awesome sight. The B-2 must have been flying out of Travis AFB in Fairfield, CA.

    Basically both entire wings are giant fuel tanks. What's amazing is how the wings can hold all of that fuel and not snap off. Each wing holds roughly 84,000lbs of fuel...yet it doesn't snap while just sitting on the ground. In the air..the lift helps relieve some of the stress..but while turning or gaining altitude..those wings are holding all of that fuel..plus the weight of the center of the plane..plus the multiplier of G forces. Absolutely amazing engineering.

It wasn't until the gulf war that the world witnessed the destruction it was capable of.
