Heh, nice!
The B2 pics are not showing up for me... conspiracy?
The biggest highlight of the trip up was when I was looking around, as always, helping out looking out for other traffic. Regardless of GPS and RADAR, it's always good to see and be seen, so another set of eyes in the cockpit is always good to have.
The nice relaxing flight was interrupted by me shouting "HOLY SH!T" in the intercomm. Susan, the pilot flinched and said "What?" before I could finish with "It's a STEALTH BOMBER!!!". She said "No way" as my shutter clicked off three shots. A quick photo review on the back of the camera and I gave Susan a high five! We also spotted a U2, but it was too late for me to get a lens on it.
Joe, I thought you might appreciate 150 knots in the Commander!
