Lived in Spfld MO for 10+ yrs and saw it twice! Never did get up to Whitemans so they came to us!

The company I was with did a lot of work at Whiteman in in the surrounding area. I have been on the flight line. They don’t like civilians, even with clearance, to be able to view the rear shrouding. Riflemen will be there to be sure you don’t get to that quadrant when they are on the ground.

Whiteman AFB is just off 50 Hwy which is paralleled by I-70. The morning before we hit we hit Iran, I watched two of them come out of Whiteman in the pre-dawn twilight as I was driving down I-70 to another project. It was all I could do to not mention it on FR that morning.

Because of the fly by wire and odd control surfaces, their flight can only be described as funky and weird during low elevation maneuvers.
