Nice catch!

Now that's a GREAT catch!

A W E S O M E ! ! !

Looking at the contrails from this angle. If you weren't looking to hard at it, you would think it is an airliner with 4 engines.

Cool photo.
Those have a strange sound when they fly over.
I love it!

KC-135 refueling a B-2. Note that all of the contrails are coming from the KC-135 and none from the B-2.

Awesome catch!

Brian - you were well prepared! Excellent!!
Re: Paul Wisgerhof - very good observation, only KC-135 laying down a contrail.

It pays to look up sometimes. My neighbors must be thinking I am crazy, because I am outside the garage looking up at "nothing" with a camera a lot.

Unique shot, good job. What camera and telephoto lense was used?
Also, shout out to wisgerhof on a good observation.

BIG LIKE! Congrats on that! This is not something you see every day (or every year.. for that matter)!

Bravo! Well done.

Great shot

"The reason I pulled you over is because you have a tail-light out."

Great shot. Thx for sharing. Wonder where the B2 was heading.

Wow, Great shot thanks for sharing it with us !

Awesome!

Awesome catch.

Awesome

quite the contrast in technology.... 1940's flying wing and 50's airframe...

Mr. Wisgerhof's observation is a good one; one additional cue to look for a "hole in the sky", and what may have clued Mr. Elling to zoom in, is the uneven formation of the contrails. Since the B-2's refueling receptacle is centered on the fuselage, it looks like the B-2 is still slightly left of the track, and its exhaust is warming the air enough to delay formation of the contrail from tanker's number one engine....

zennermd.......it is an airliner with 4 engines...lol.

Lovely shot Brian Congrats.
Im forever looking up at nothing !!!
