Stealth Bombers at RAAF Base Amberley

131st Bomb Wing along with 509th Bomb Wing detachment from Whiteman Air Force Base are at Royal Australian Air Force base Amberley for Bomber Task Force Pacific deployment.

The BTF is apart of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces Enhanced Air Cooperation between RAAF and USAF, we'll bring you more from the deployment to Amberley but here is some on base action from the week.

Would love to see one of these flying in person. Amazing looking aircraft.

Love the 6 blokes in hi-vis standing around with 2 shovels between them to dig 1 hole in the ground #straya

A lot of people have commented that their not stealthy due to the noise around Amberley but thats not what Stealthy is in regards to them its their ability to give a very negligible if at all radar profile etc.

Very marvellous and cool footage of the B-2 Spirit 😊

I have shared this to my Bomber Task Force Facebook page.

I saw the two of them flying over head the other day . And yes they are loud, that's why i looked to see what was flying. One turned left and you got a look at most of the top side of the aircraft. It was good to see them as i didn't know we had them.👍

I saw it fly over Toowoomba a few days ago. I could not believe what I was seeing, but you have confirmed it was a Stealth Bomber

Was sitting outside at our bar late afternoon the other day and my brother in law and I saw them fly directly overhead. You cannot mistake them for any other aircraft; quite amazing. We live in the Noosa Hinterland and they were heading in a northerly direction.

[rod_at_adelaide]

Very cool. I didn't realise how big they are!

[peterbolt]

The most concerning point is that they're now in Amberley training for the inevitable.

Our family is in debt to the American forces being here in Australia for them looking over us
Our family says thankyou
Big Thankyou aswell to the guys and girls in the subs

Do they remind anyone else of a stingray? Go watch a documentary on stingray and see the similarities.

Outstanding captures guys, really great to see these scary looking things up close. The thing that gets me is, even though this is allegedly the most sophisticated piece of kit USAF operates, they still allow it to be photographed and display certain operational characteristics & capabilities. You can only imagine what they are running behind the scenes away from prying eyes...

They look like a falcon in a stoop. They fly over Brisbane just after sundown, occasionally, must be on exercises somewhere up North. Come out of the ENE, bright lights blazing, flying over the commercial flight paths. If you look carefully yo can make out their distinctive wings. FYI.

[edwardfletcher]

That's a damn good job with a cheap tripod 👍

Utterly spellbinding. The wide track stance makes them look super controlled on take off. Beyond the stealth and precision avionics aspect of the aircraft ( which is like #1 in the world) the range and lift capabilities are astounding. (40, 000 lb, at 40, 000 ft at 600mph for 6000 miles!)Flight testing of the B21 Raider, the next generation flying wing stealth bomber by Northrop Grumman is underway now. It will be superior in all aspects. Northrop was a pioneer in this field, successfully developing the concept of large flying wing bombers as far back as 1946. (YB35 and 49) Though, ultimately these too must give acknowledgement to the (captured) design technicalities of the Horton brothers.

are the ground personal from USAF or the RAAF for the b2's
