- Two US Air Force B-2 Stealth Bombers divert to an RAF base in the UK during a Global Power Mission while on deployment in Europe.
The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirits are with the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, and are named the 'Spirit of Alaska' and the 'Spirit of Ohio'. They're currently on deployment to Europe as part of a 'Bomber Task Force (BTF)' and are operating out of Keflavik in Iceland.
The Stealth Bombers had to divert to RAF Fairford for a hot-pit refuel while on return to Iceland due to no availability of tankers. This is a process that the base is used to dealing with as the designated Strategic Bomber base for the US Air Force in Europe, and is always on standby to receive bomber planes.

Seeing a B2 is like witnessing a tornado. Strange beauty but ultimately deadly.
Must have been amazing to see these incredible planes arrive.
This is what ufo enthusiasts see when there looking for ufo and there is no doubt in my mind they look like ufo they are scary fighter bombers and am happy there with us not the enemy but what was the emergency why were they landing in the uk
To think they where being built in 1987 and they still look futuristic but i still think the SR-71 takes the win for me in designs that transcend time. Nice footage thank you.
@@paulhicks6667 GOD now i feel old thunderbirds, captain scarlet and the clangers for the win ;-) The Valkyrie was good but for me the SR was just more sexy apart from the fact it just would not stop leaking everywhere.

@@paulhicks6667 yes but it looks really outdated and kind of silly .
You can never say that ever about Habu
Agreed! Clothes look dated within 3 years, but there's the Blackbird looking cutting-edge 60s years on.
Looks like a saucer.
Otherworldly, every time! That and F-117 Nighthawk my favourite childhood toy "planes". Also its amazing how modern they both still look considering when they were designed/built.
The 80's weren't that long ago
@@richardhoffmann179by anybody's measure 40 years ago is a long time ago
I remember seeing about 24 A-10's fly over Hull, UK in the late 1990's, now THAT was a sight.
@@richardhoffmann179 If 40 years isn't that long ago, then I'm still young at 55 🤣
These planes are definitely the ones people have miss misidentified
as the silent UFO triangles.
The B2 Spirit has been one of my favourite military aircrafts, these are completely amazing!!! Beautiful video!!
The plural of ‘aircraft’ is ‘aircraft’.😅
Thank you friend! I thought you might like them. I've always liked them, too. Very sci-fi.
if your lucky they might bomb
Scary to think these guys take orders from Joe
Completely awesome, my favourite but bloody scary when you think about it. I love the way the lights go off after take off, i can imagine the pilots with night vision. How cool would it be to be a pilot of one of these machines.
I honestly don't think B2 bomber pilots have or need NVGs (at least for take offs in friendly env), its IFR flying, same with commercial pilots, commercial pilots just have to keep their lights on till they reach 10000 ft for extra visibility, military aircraft don't have to adhere to that.
@@ElitistMagi oh yes hadn’t thought about that 😂👍
@@thedrivebyggThis bomber was part of a NATO operation near the border between Poland and Ukraine, but I'm wondering whether or not it was diverted to the UK in response to the older Cold War-era bomber Russia sent near UK airspace as intimidation.
@@dritemolawzbks8574 Russia bombers fly weekly offcoast of UK nothing new
aircraft use lights only on the runway and as take off identification....they dont work that well in the sky! ha
One of the most visually striking aircraft. It is a sight to behold every time. I always expect Batman to jump out after landing.
@albertbundy8857You must be thinking of mig or sukoi or some ruzzian junk like get's destroyed constantly in Ukraine. Slava Ukraine!
@albertbundy8857Congratulations you have won the knobhead of the year award.
@albertbundy8857 Talk bullshite you get what you deserve. Try engaging a brain cell or two.
What a machine. What engineering. You can't even comperehend the sort of damage each of those bombers could cause without even knowing they are there.
Nice to see them back at RAF Fairford. Well done for getting there for their short stay. Saw them both leave for Iceland but a bit dark!
👏🏻👏🏻. You can only think that if we are now seeing these aircraft more freely,what aren’t we seeing?!! There’s got to be far more secretive aircraft out there now
The B21 raider is replacing the B2, so this is old tech now.
Aurora
@@technotoaster that was a project not an aircraft. And its most likely the stealth development for several aircraft.
Drone aircraft
@@Beric-Dondarrion thats where the crazies all live
Amazing footage as always from this channel. You have immense patience, but pays off with something as unique as this. Thank you and fantastic work ❤
One of the Two B-2 Spirits that finally reappeared in Iceland. Amazing video. Always a fave. Thank you for sharing!
Great footage; i vividly remember these being rolled out to the public, mind blowing and an incredible technical achievement.
Last year while driving south on I-15 into Las Vegas, I saw 4 of them leaving the Air Force base at the same time, very impressive!
Patience rewarded !! Really great shots of the Stealth bomber. Best I've seen.
These were built decades ago and still look out of this world. Just imagine what they have now that we don’t know about!
Both landing and take-off was impressive. Not sure if I've seen this bod but did see the F117 back in Ottawa early 1990's the day before when he was 'warming up' for the airshow. Amazing.
Wow, that has to be the catch of a lifetime to spot those in the uk. Awesome stuff, thanks CE.
We get these flying around at times. Usually at football games like CU or the USAF Academy. They fly around Boulder and then head south. Last fall 4 B2 Bombers flew over my house. Very impressive but it left Northern Colorado confused. Two years ago the Red Arrows were buzzing my town and then flew down and did a flyby of the Airforce Academy before coming back to do a quick show. The National Guard buzz around every weekend in their F16’s to get their hours in. It can get noisy.
They don't fly to Britain.
@@markkuantero1427 They don't? So this was really rare? I know the Blackbirds were there for awhile.
Absolutely stunning! Also a lot bigger than I imagined. Would have loved to have been there.
Great footage, the take-offs were sensational! Spielberg's special effects team, would be proud of those images. 👌
Brilliant pictures for aircraft lovers, big bats of the.night. 🇺🇸👍👍👍🇬🇧
@albertbundy8857 yo momma.
Great video, i can remember the first time seeing the stealth bomber at raf mildenhall, it was its first airshow appearance in the uk , it was on static display with the f117 and the sr71 an amazing site to see
One of these flew over my house a few years ago. Me and my neighbour absaloutly crapped ourselves. These are very very scary and loud😮
Man all your catches are INSANE
Impressive. Thank you. 👍🏻🏴
I saw a B2 pass over an Auburn football game. It was incredibly loud. When you play this, crank your volume up to max to get a sense of just how loud it is.
It flew past me a few years ago approximately 2-300 ft above Channel. Virtually silent!! until it banked to turn North then you could feel the ground rumble.
I saw one yesterday above gloucestershire but it was pretty loud just flying straight
what a privilege it must be for the American pilots who fly this magnificent aircraft .
So secretly stealth that all the local photographers were waiting to catch the event!
Great camera work, you could see them moving around inside the cockpit. Thanks.
Can see why they call them "stealth", they're amazing, thank you for sharing this footage. Watching them, looking at the shape and the lighting, makes me wonder if these could be responsible for some of the UFO sightings, they are so quiet...
They're such a fascinating shape. Aircraft like these, F117, SR-71 Black Bird ...etc. are probably all responsible for those early sightings, and maybe others. Thanks for watching!
@@CobraEmergencysure as hell aren't responsible for Rendlesham Forest incident
Amazing catch as always! You see them 100% more than I do and I live in the Midwest of US hah.
I can't wait until the B-21 comes online!
Saw one fly over our house circling on the approach to land at RAF F, amazing site!
@albertbundy8857 nice to hear from the experts!
@@zyphod expert in propaganda
Nice filmography, well shot nice sound of the jets. It kinda reminds me of the Vulcan B2 our own stealth bomber.
I saw one fly over where I worked and there were several of us in the parking lot. We didn’t hear it, until it had already passed us. That was scary.
Very cool machines, they wouldnt look too out of place in a star wars movie, pretty crazy.
Amazing footage. Bravo. It’s pilots are truly the elite. I’ve read these planes are very difficult to fly and are so unwieldy. Not that any fighter has room for error, but these are particularly unforgiving.
"I’ve read these planes are very difficult to fly" from what source did you read this? Let me guess ... some random uninformed punter on the internet.
@@CasinoWoyale I was a tech writer at Pratt & Whitney aircraft.
@@lisanadile4688 That shut him up! But no matter how elite the pilots are they still take orders from Joe 😧
Really great seeing them in the UK.
These keep our neer peer adversaries up at night.
I was visiting my mom
In hospital in Cheltenham and 1 of these flew over when I was walking back to the car ! I’m
Not very clued up on aviation .. this was a big deal to me ! 👍
The sound of victory!
WOW! What a FANTASTIC Aircraft! I'd love to see one.👍
I remember seeing one of these at Mildenhall Air show 2000, just awesome, makes the hairs stand up on yer back!
Seen these at a few air shows growing up. Such and amazing plane!
The cloud cover makes it even more awe inspiring AND sinister
It's a terrifying feeling seeing one of those IRL. You've always got that thought in the back of your mind.... "Am I gonna die today?"
Absolutely fantastic ! ! ! !
There's something really cool and yet a little scary seeing these beasts in the dark. Awesome footage thanks ✌️ 😎
@albertbundy8857 I'll be honest I couldn't find the right word for it, scary wasn't what I was thinking maybe sinister or something.
@@VodkaRob Ignore him. He's a commie troll. Joined youtube Nov. '22. Always check the subscription date of trouble makers.
you did brilliantly recording that. always wanted to see one coming in like that. thanks for sharing buddy.
👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍
my son and i were fishing at a lake near fairford saw these two take off at 2245 approx could hear them for ages in the distance, made me wonder if they were off to give mr putin a present
Absolutely stunning footage, thank you so much for this treat !
You're absolutely welcome!
You can’t even observe the background been blurred by the heat coming out from exhaust.
Awesome
Beautiful landing coverage. Great catch!
Bet that plane has caused a few UFO sightings around the world.
Great take off . I love how they switch off headlights at take off
lights are on front wheels and rear wheel storage so as undercarriage goes up?
Headlights?
Just imagine this is Reagan era technology. Now Imagine the impossible. What does 2023 technology look like?
The B-21
That would have been great to see. Glad you caught that on film!👍
Delivering freedom around the world.
Stunning, I wonder how many people think they are seeing a UFO?
None
Extraordinary aircraft. 👌
awesome, you capture a plane that is rarely recorded, super amazing plane spotting
It really is remarkable how quiet it is.
Uh. no. They are very loud when taking off, just like any other jet.
Watching them arrive. Its hard to believe they are flying in from the inner most dens of the United States. So incredibly far away. These are even rare to see in the US. Its like the UK has a second secret military it can call on for support.
even rarer when you consider that there are only 20 of them in active service
Second secret military the UK can call on?
Its an occupation and always has been
@@matthewrussell8590 How could it be an occupation when Rishi Sunak can easily "Brexit" from NATO and kick the US out for overstaying its welcome and being mean to Russia?
@@dritemolawzbks8574 Kick the US out, hahahaha
yeh sure pal. usa wanted no part in Falklands war
WOW What an amazing sight! So so cool.!👍
saw both of these fly directly over my house while they were pretty high up. kind of scared me at first but man it was a beautiful sight
One thing is for certain, you’ll never see it coming. Practically eliminated Iraqs air defense systems and communications in one night.
All B-2 planes have one Base. Whiteman AFB in Missouri. They don't stay other bases a long. Not commanded to stay. They can't. Because they need special care, that is only available in Missouri.
Diego Garcia and Guam are the only AFB's in the world they can stay a longer time. Not Britain.
Love how they just disappear into the night 🏴🇺🇸💪
I heard a plane yesterday evening, which sounded so different to the usual sounds above Lincolnshire.
It sounded so strange, i even mentioned it to my work mate today lol.
It has a slightly terrifying sound 👍
Wow, what a plane, I did not know they were this HUGE😮
They have an intercontinental range without air to air refuelling
Its great being allies with the USA. Not only do we get to see amazing aircraft like this, but we know they have our backs too.
What whilst planning to conquer us via EU?
What TAF are you wibbling on about?@@Darren-fm3pe
Great video. Awesome footage.
Fantastic video. Love the sound of those B-2's.
The farmer was like, hey i gonna bale my hay no matter what 🤣
My friend on holiday in Devon saw one fly over at the weekend. I am so jealous.
DEVIL OF THE DARK, can fly and do her mission without notice, BATMAN
Awesome capture! May I feature this landing in one of my next episodes? Of course with a link back to your original video. Cheers!
Thank you! That would actually be so awesome!
Unfortunately, we had a huge issue with TH-cam in 2021 and in 2019, when they were accusing us of re-using content, and there were suspensions. We suspect it may have been due to content shared on our other channel, but we were never given a reason. As a result, we can't share our footage with other channels anymore. Which is a huge shame! But thank you for reaching out!
A few others were there filming, you might find this video on Twitter interesting: twitter.com/rob_j_wade/status/1692264019099337114?t=uMelPTMrBpVeeciMDKA01Kif7GeDqt4gdmI9G1lS5gw&s=19
I understand, thanks for letting me know! All the best to you. @@CobraEmergency
What a rush! Absolutely AWSOME!
Presumably this is the tool used to encourage non-Nato members to cooperate. You see one of these and you know your meeting with Nuland did not go down too well.
Are you trying to pass as a Brit by parroting talking points from RT?
@@dritemolawzbks8574 I am a Brit and don't watch RT.
@@Andrew-rc3vh Then why are you parroting the Russian propaganda about Nuland? That's not from you and comes from useful idiots that only believe misinformation from the Kremlin.
I've been inside one at Fairford air show, 1995!
Art. Beautiful. 🇺🇸
Three thousand million dollars dropping in to RAF Fairford. Magical.
One of these randomly flew over my house in the uk before,beautiful looking thing the sun was shining off of it i just stood in awe for around a minute,didnt even bother getting my phone out,so unexpected because i live in a place where that would be the last thing you'd ever expect too see lol
Epic footage!
Thanks
The late Kelly Johnson really was the Tesla of aero-dynamics! Much credit goes out to the late Ben Rich fmr CEO at Lockheed Skunkworks with these highly impressive iconic pieces of marvellous stealth ingenuity!
Jack Northrop was the father of the flying wing dont think skunkworks had anything to do with these
Great catch. Well done
Winnie The Pooh. Make your move. Oh, that's right, your too gutless. 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇦🇬🇧🇭🇲
I'm no aviation nut or anything like that, but these machines do look bloody gorgeous mind!
Straight outa Knob Noster, Missouri.
One day the B2’s came to Kansas City to celebrate the 100 yrs anniversary of the WWI War Memorial. After they did their duty they flew a little impromptu airshow. Those big birds flitting around the city like angry wasps. I saw one flying north on Universal Ave at two hundred feet. While another one behind it in the distance standing on a wingtip in a spectacular high G turn. That day was amazing. Who would think a plane like that, has that kind of maneuverability. Western Missouri is a great place to live if you love cool planes doing cool stuff.
I assume it was these two that flew over my house (by Tewkesbury) last night after midnight (they wern't on any flight trackers.)
The real show stopper is when our own nation the USA shows the B-21 RAIDER bomber soon.
King of the skies! Stunning aircraft
Was sitting outside a pub in cornwall with friends 1974 , remember the year i was 21 an aircraft very similar to these flew over very low we all thought what the hell was that ! Must have had stealth back then
thought that was the bomber at the start, then I realized those where birds
😄
That’s actually pretty cool.
Excellent and spine tingling
Brilliant sound. Love it.
*IF THEY LET US SEE AND KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THE B-2, IMAGINE THE REAL BOMBER WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.*
Talking about codename Bra and Don TRD1? Please handle classified information with care. Let alone it often does emergency landings, with success in the end of course in his socks. Brandon's TuRD is a weapon if we have one...
