- 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.

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
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.
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@@paulhicks6667 yes but it looks really outdated and kind of silly .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.
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
Seeing a B2 is like witnessing a tornado. Strange beauty but ultimately deadly.
Patience rewarded !! Really great shots of the Stealth bomber. Best I've seen.
Impressive. Thank you. 👍🏻🏴
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
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
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😮
Great camera work, you could see them moving around inside the cockpit. Thanks.
Brilliant pictures for aircraft lovers, big bats of the.night. 🇺🇸👍👍👍🇬🇧
@albertbundy8857 yo momma.
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
Really great seeing them in the UK.
The sound of victory!
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?"
I remember seeing one of these at Mildenhall Air show 2000, just awesome, makes the hairs stand up on yer back!
Very cool machines, they wouldnt look too out of place in a star wars movie, pretty crazy.
Beautiful landing coverage. Great catch!
you did brilliantly recording that. always wanted to see one coming in like that. thanks for sharing buddy.
👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍
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?
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 ! 👍
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
awesome, you capture a plane that is rarely recorded, super amazing plane spotting
Delivering freedom around the world.
Fantastic video. Love the sound of those B-2's.
My friend on holiday in Devon saw one fly over at the weekend. I am so jealous.
Wow, what a plane, I did not know they were this HUGE😮
They have an intercontinental range without air to air refuelling
DEVIL OF THE DARK, can fly and do her mission without notice, BATMAN
I've been inside one at Fairford air show, 1995!
thought that was the bomber at the start, then I realized those where birds
😄
Nice filmography, well shot nice sound of the jets. It kinda reminds me of the Vulcan B2 our own stealth bomber.
Wow! Great vid, thanks.
I assume it was these two that flew over my house (by Tewkesbury) last night after midnight (they wern't on any flight trackers.)
Is the B-2 not equipped for aerial refueling? Thanks for the post.
It is
Yes, it can hit anywhere on the globe with AAR
I'm no aviation nut or anything like that, but these machines do look bloody gorgeous mind!
How do these people know when the planes will be arriving and where. Would love to see them myself.
The size of the B2 is often overlooked. The wing span is only 4 m shorter than the B-52.
Amazing invention..
Did anyone on the radio received their callsigns? Im curious.
C/s were CRAG 21 and CRAG 22
@@brutonstreettailor4570 odd ones, no clue what word they relate to, much appreciated thanks!
Never seen a b2 but saw something over Bradford 2007 that looked like the TR3B iam not far from Leeds bradford airport which was a base for Lancaster bomber so have seen eurofighter and f35 landing there only other base is bae warton
Great footage here! Such an amazing-looking aircraft - beautiful!
Being such an unusual shape, I wonder what it's like to fly it - how it handles?
It looks like it'd be a bit awkward and might not handle very well - I could be wrong....... :)
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
You look at these things and think: 'how the f**k do they fly? '
What will be, will be.
How do you get to know about these? :)
Heard one or both fly over home around 11.30 midnight, nothing on radar as usual heading north west
did the second guy do a rollover? Bada$$
Imagine someone from England circa 1776 seeing these and then someone telling them, these are the Americans. Then them thinking they are the colonists?
Mean and Beautiful, nice footage 😎👽
Did the people who filmed this detect the incoming bombers via domestic ham radio?
Stealth can be picked up by infra red signals (Speed cameras). Surprised British Army haven't sold this idea to yanks also!
🇬🇧🇷🇺🇬🇧
I really believe that we are heading towards a massive event thats not gonna have a very good ending
relax phil, we arent, and if we are, what point in worrying now?
Anybody spot the pilot flashing her headlights to the kids at 2.27 mins? Cute.
Great catch
Awesome video!!
Great catch 👌 couldn't see them though 😂
Wait …. They were there ?!!
@@serenityinside1 2 at FFD
@@serenityinside1and they’re still there today I think departing for Reykjavík soon
You just know Tom Cruise is in one of those planes.
Thanks for posting and the rundown on their flights. What airfield is this?
Yankee base on The A1. I'm still trying to get yanks out of UK. We don't need US protection. Never did!
RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, near Swindon.
That's a 9 killstreak right there 😅😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍
I seen one of these use cloaking technology over Shropshire in 2010 , luckily i was with someone when i seen it happen or id have thought id lost my mind .
It flew over me the other night, i thought it was an hang glider at first then I realised it was to high
So why were they diverted ???
Sinister beauty
82 stealth bombers? USAF only has 20!
literally disappear into the night sky...😮
Would they have travelled over Hampshire?
Amazing! What do i have to do to get lucky to see one here
Wow I had no idea theses amazing aircraft could fly long haul and they remind me of birds 😊
They have an intercontinental range without air to air refuelling. With AAR they can hit anywhere on the globe.
In Operation Allied Force in 1999, B2's made their combat debut. They flew non stop from Dayton, Ohio on a bombing mission to Serbia and and back.
Fascinating thank you
Nothing new,they took off from the UK for the attack on Baghdad,at the start of the gulf war,watched it live on the news,hours later saw pictures of the bombing from Iraq!
When you look at them what would people mistake them for if seen in the sky,UFO.
Wonder what the load-out was...? Given that at 10:49 we see either a 'Close Encounters'-style alien-human interchange, or the iridescent spheres of malignant outer-god Yog Sothoth on a rare visit to Earth, I'm thinking GigaWatt laser cannon, tractor beam, or particle accelerator... Stupendous catch ! - a long way from Liverpool crown court...
How about telling us _when_ this was?, otherwise it might as well be clickbait.
Fairford
Keep them ready,high state of alert
Always called it the black moth of death.
Thanks for this. Question? What's the tractor got to do with anything? Is the aircraft one or two pilots? And, I assume they go completely dark at a certain alt? Thanks
The tractor with all the lights was to show the silhouettes of the people lining the fence to see the bombers. Drew quite a crowd!
The aircraft is 1 pilot and 1 commander, I imagine the commander acts as a co-pilot, too. Their names are written on the landing gear. If you look really closely, you might see them.
I believe they do go completely dark based on what content I've seen relating to them.
@@CobraEmergency Thanks. Appreciate it. I think that was a stealth tractor 😉
@@mrsimo7144 maybe it was 👀
So Cool
That's a ufo right there
So amazing 💪💪💪
I do love these but It always surprises me that if they are supposed to be stealth plans on active duties that they land in areas visible to the public? I know we won't necessarily know the mission or end destination but if you go to the effort with all the stealth just for someone to be able to video them and put them on youtube isn't very smart haha!
When your trying to find them through a radar screen when they are flying at 30,000ft that’s when it’s comes into good use.
Stealth ≠ invisible.
Sometimes showing yourself sends a powerful message, more so than remaining hidden.
@@Dogtown16v when you have a good advance missile system, they are useless
Nothing new here,they’ve been using Fairford for years
The loud sounds are very stealthy 😂
They attack from altitudes around 30,000 feet
It must be so easy to blow them planes up at that base if members of the public can point cameras at them then an enemy can point missiles at them !
Go point a shoulder launched missile launcher at RAF Fairford from the roadside, and see how quickly US Air Force security personnel and MOD Police show up.
Like something Batman would fly...
Well, so much for 'stealth'.
Stealth my ass.... You can see those lights and hear it from miles away!
When it's flying at 40,000 feet at night and no lights are on, no you can't. Neither can radars.
Does those have range to go to ukraina east border and back to uk?
Yes
Lucky people seeing them in real time. I alway’s wondered if their stealth makes them invisible to other flying air craft in there path. I guess the B2 pilots instruments probably see you? Kinda sneaky these little buggers aren’t they.
I'd imagine they will switch on IFF transponders when flying through friendly airspace so air traffic control can see them to guide their safe passage.
I bet Vladimir Putin and Shoigu have mind numbing nightmares about the B2 every single night without fail.
幽浮飛碟概念，如能想飛碟一上下飄移飛行，那麼運用上會跟多元
This is Alien stuff.
stealth my ass you can hear it from miles away
I missed them and I live in Cheltenham I want to dide
“Stealth”
Must be operating over Ukraine and Russia I suppose.
I doubt it. Russia certainly would not allow it and I doubt Ukraine has us doing active bombing or flying over their territory. If they do than it's a big escalation of the war!
russia would down it
If it were operational over Russia, there would be no Russian bombers still firing missiles at Ukraine
The US military is out of this world
A triangular aircraft like many ufo aircraft sightings many years ago , was that the first trails and development of this aircraft, just saying . All too top secret even now I what say.
It always amazes me how similar they look to the stealth bomber the Germans had developed at the end of the War.
Thats where they got the idea from 😎👍
😅
they had Ex Nazi working on it
l'Europe n'a rien demandée !!! 😡 Ingérance
