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

04:22 There's your timestamp for the take offs, you can stop moaning about the taxiing now!

Even today, it looks like something straight from the future

That silhouette. Wow. And then the plane becomes a thin little wing you can hardly see a few seconds later. Really striking.

Always impressed by how difficult it is to spot a B-2. Even when they’re parked on the ground!

God Bless America! The rest of the free world wouldn't be so free without you.

I live in Kansas City and I love seeing these things fly over. Always amazed every time at them.

The 100th time you see this beaut is no less breathtaking than the 1st.

Still one of the most beautiful pieces of engineering...30 years later.

What a thing of beauty those B2 bombers are!

An amazing aircraft, it looks out-of-this-world!

I live close to a B2 base and see them fly over quite often. Beautiful aircraft.

I wish that my father was still alive to watch this video. He was on the engineering team involved in design and eventually did some post incident investigations at Edwards AFB during the test phases. He was quite proud of his part in creating this airplane.... Almost as much as the pride he felt working on the control systems of the A10.

That's one bad ass piece of equipment.

To think this design was proposed in the 1940's, and even flown in that time period shows how ahead of their time Northrop was.

This plane is a marvel.. This tech is actually old now. Can’t wait to see the future of this.

If a b-2 pilot/co pilot ever reads this,i just want you to know,you are f**king badass for being able to flying this beast

Even though it's 2019, it's still unusual to see plane shape like that.

Awesome hearing the engines throttle up and down as they prepped for taxi, etc.

Alien and beautiful. And there's no spookier icon in the air than that silhouette.

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!

No wonder people throught they saw UFOs in the 70ies and 80ies O.o

... the B-2 doesn't so much take off... as float away!... a beautiful bird

Awesome video thank you. I've lived next to Kirkland AFB in ABQ,NM across the pond and have seen and heard some interesting things my favorite was watching the base ground all air traffic due to a very large storm and watching an f/a 18 struggle to land due to turbulence. Our boys sure can fly

*_Sou apaixonado pela força aérea e acho o bombardeiro B2 Spirit, simplesmente FANTÁSTICO!!!. 👏👏👏_*

Beautiful, thank you!

This technology marvel is made in my hometown of Palmdale/Lancaster, California, USA....VERY PROUD!

Nice video STTW! What a progression by the pilot: DA-20 at PQ, the T-6A Texan II at Undergraduate Pilot Training, and then the T-38 at advanced (jet pipeline), and now the B-2- good work, sir! God Bless America! (and England for being our ally)

Absolutely magnificent!

What a beautiful aircraft to watch taking off..! ✈✈💯👍

Thank you and RIP to MR. Jack Northrop for his ageless flying wing concept.

UFO! a thing of pure beauty nice post sir, appreciated the tower comms' I'm a Royal Navy vet and I can appreciate this bloody lovely! Nov 22

Wow! 3 take offs here. 2 of the old B2`s and one of the new generation. Fantastic :-)

About six years ago I was sky watching one night and I saw an aircraft approaching from a distance. It had 3 lights position in the shape of a triangle as it passed over head it didn't make a sound. This aircraft has some abilities that are advanced. Shalom

With your camerawork and my Bose noise cancelling headphones, I might as well have been there. Honestly Mate your Camerawork is exceptional!!

When I was in grade school, back in the 50s, in Austin, I saw a “flying wing” while I was in recess. I believe the designation was B-49.

That plane has a ridiculously slim profile! So glad that is on our side!

The really interesting thing is that these planes are probably equivalent to what the Wright Brothers flew compared to what they have now. It sure would be fun to see what they have hidden in some hanger somewhere.

I was stationed at Fairford air force base in England for a few years... the coltswolds are beautiful, plus also close to Stonehenge..1994 to 1998

I love how it becomes just a thin black line in the sky.

Fun fact: one of the chief engineers of this plane is currently imprisoned at ADX Florence for selling classified information to the Chinese.

Smart design. Imagine the enemy watching this: Oh wow, what an amazing airplane, never seen something like this before, lets take pictures

Makes you wonder what secret things we have now. Beautiful engineering

I still can't believe I was blessed to work on these birds, from November 8 8to November 99.

OMG I love that plane, thanks guys!!!!

Awesome performance,the beauty of technology.

Incredible aircraft!! Thanks for this video :)

Oh, I just love this beast! My all-time favorite!

Great video, we were watching that day.

Love that quote "Only stealthy when its dropping something on you"

Excellent video, wow what an aircraft, thanks for sharing, it's a like, cheers...Bill

Epic. Had the pleasure of seeing the f22 live in fl/ga. Could not imagine this.....🤩🤩🤩

Really enjoyed all of the taxiing. Really smooth.

Amazing video ,the lovely b2 is my favorite usaf airforce aircraft off all time 😊

The B-2 is the closest thing I've ever seen that truly looks reminiscent of the old "UFO sightings"

Awesome plane... I met a tourist and her dad was involved in the design of this plane.. still classified what goes into it.. Thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿

Saw one of these fly over the Indy 500 starting ceremonies about 10 years ago. It was the craziest thing ever. Just a silent line in the sky, then she quietly slipped over us and banked high to the side at full throttle rocking the grand stands and the 250,000 people in them. 2nd best fly over I've ever seen. #USA

In 1986 I was an engineer with the B2 program. This plane is invisible to radar. It gives off a signal the size of a crow. I cant say anymore

When we saw the B-1s we were completely impressed. When saw the B-2s we questioned which planet we were on.

Brings a tear to my eye. Such power

Stunning .... I love it .... thanks for posting

My admiration goes to the designer(s) of this aircraft .

It blows my mind that this thing can go nearly 7000 miles on a tank of fuel.

Been watching rc plane vids before this one and now i just cant believe these here are real!

Was stationed at Whiteman AFB from 1959 till 1962. We had B-47's then on which I was an Assistant Crew Chief. We pulled "reflex" at RAF Fairford also. The place does not look the same. Thanks

Amazing looking aircraft!

For it's age technically a masterpiece..

Knew something universally familiar and outstanding was transpiring there. 💯

I have seen them fly over the high desert of California. They are truly SciFi looking and yet beautiful!

Perfect video!! Thank you very much. That runway is scary short LOL

I can remember when the stealth was still in it's test phase and top secret, 60 minutes was the first to be granted a look at it but of course very little could be told to the public about it's functions other than it's speed and ability to evade radar. It wasn't until the gulf war that the world witnessed the destruction it was capable of.

Truly the symbol of aviation technological skills and developments .

love this , great caption , nice one

2:00 the motorcycle sound made that moment hilarious

Why is that everything that causes death, destruction and mayhem looks so awesome? It can be giant gunships like the Bismarck, a nuclear submarine, a B-2, a tank etc. These things fascinate me to no end.

Excellent video! Great B2 images!

31K Thumbs Up + Mine! You're welcome! Thanks! 😊 Notes: This century and this millennium have only existed since 2001. 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.

5:35 when your Minecraft sky doesn’t load

Awesome aircraft all credit to the designers, the people who built it and the aircrew who fly them.

Es un bello diseño de avión, inspirado en originales de la tecnología alemana, adelantada en tiempo a sus congéneres de años 40's - Que sensación será pilotear esta maravilla!

They are the most beautiful aircraft EVER... Would so love to see one of them.

Amazing looking & sounding things. Interesting that they deploy the elevons when they turn while taxying, maybe it's like a speed brake.

I'm impressed that you were allowed to get even that close!

That view in the first picture looks like a spaceship!

Wow-Majestic and easily identified as a UFO-those engines spooling up and taking all the runway for takeoff-good video-thanks

Beautiful!

Freedom right there. Freedom keepers. Love it.

That thing is just spooky-looking. A thing of beauty-but also spooky-looking.

Wow!!!! Really stunning!!!!!!

Superb.

Gorgeous plane

I saw one of these fly over my house on 9.12.2001. Amazing

They both used darn near every inch of that runway. Cool video!

I've got a splendid idea...start the video when the plane is about to take off! Genius!! 🙄🙄

Awesome video!

This is so very awesome

This aircraft is massive

That is some machine

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.
