Stealth Bomber flyover to precede Virginia Tech football game Saturday
The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets advises that, barring weather or operational factors, the 509th Bomb Wing from Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, will conduct a military aircraft flyover prior to the Virginia Tech vs. Ohio University game on Saturday, Sept. 17, 2005.
The B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is the world's premier strike aircraft. Only 21 of these bombers exist in the Air Force inventory.
This marks the second visit of this technological marvel to Lane Stadium. The B-2 will fly over Lane Stadium as part of the pre-game ceremony held by the Corps of Cadets, featuring the 760 cadets of the second largest regiment since the late 1960s.

This is a holler out to the B-2 from MISSOURI! When they first came out with the B-2 everyone would rush outside if someone said they saw one passing over. I was also at Whiteman for a tour when they were doing power take-offs and landings. That was pretty intense also.
