I need to dig back through my e-mails since I recall an e-mail talking about bomber day on Saturday and the B2, and another plane I forgot, doing a fly over. That being said I'm not finding anything in the app or online that talks about bomber day or when the flyover will take place.
Anyone have any information?

Of course, if they cloak the B2, you won't see it. :)

Not being able to attend this year, but living 1/2 mile from the runway at Whiteman AFB (Home of the B-2) I will try to keep my ears open (Not that you can miss the noisy thing) and let ya'll know when it departs for the flight north. For some it will be a highlight to see the flyover, but for me its an every day occurrence.
