I used to live right outside of Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, we'd be able to sit in our front yard to watch the air shows. They'd launch all manner of aircraft out of the area and we were 2 miles straight from the end of the runway.

Of course, it came with the downside that the F-16/18's would bank over our house every day at 10 AM with full afterburner.

Did you manage to snag any pictures or were you fast enough on the draw?

The B2 technically doesn't fly. It falls through the air in a controlled manner, and only the magic of the computer keeps it up there.

Oh the irony of seeing an invisible jet. :-P

I watched a program on Area 51, which is where the stealth bomber (among other odd and crazy looking contraptions have been developed) and it totally makes sense that people would see this stuff and think we are harboring aliens.

A few years ago, there was an airshow not too far from where I lived. An F-117 turned around over the cul-de-sac that I lived at.. Probably one of the coolest things I had ever seen.
And you're right -- They don't look like they should fly. Especially when they are flying.
