Why is a B2 bomber orbiting SoCal?
Jeremy came over to do some laundry, and said there's a B2 bomber flying overhead. Sure enough, a couple of minutes later a B2 flies almost right over the house, going from north to south at about 1000 feet. Five minutes later, it's back, nicely silhouetted against the low clouds. Very cool.
The B2 flies over the Rose Parade almost every year, but other than that we couldn't think of a reason for it to be here.
Edit: from the Beacon Media News: "A B-2 stealth bomber from the 509th Bomber Wing performed a ceremonial flyover Sunday during services for Verne Orr, a former secretary of the U.S. Air Force who died last week at age 92."
