B2 Stealth Bomber circling Los Angeles....?

[SoCalli V8]

Today on a very cloudy Sunday afternoon at 1pm untill 2.15pm there was a B2 Stealth bomber aircraft circling (approx 100 miles diameter) Los Angeles at very low altitude, and it was Friggin` Awesome!

I and my neighbours watched in amazement as this craft flew over our heads 9 times, and it had a distinct quiet jet sound.

I live 2 miles from a local small airport (El Monte) and 30 miles from Los Angeles International, plus I have a gf who is an air hostess, so I watch planes in the sky all of the time. But while this thing was circling, there was no other air traffic at all, which was very strange, and abnormally quiet......

I grabbed my camera and snapped off some pics, because thing was flying soo low, I think that it was just the mechanic taking it out for a test drive, after fixin` it and showin` off...... What do you think?

My camera was zoomed into the max, that is why the picture quality is crappy.... Because I was in a rush....

This dude had the biggest Bad-ass toy in the sky, and he wanted to let everyone Know..... > Yeah, he got that job done....

Hmmm.. I don't get it.. Why's it called "Stealth" if you can see it with the naked eye? Not too Stealthy if you ask me!

But seriously, there wasn't an airshow somewhere nearby? Seems like that would be the obvious reason for it to be flying low and circling around like that.

But then I don't know a darn thing about aircraft, so that's just a wild guess on my part.

Edit..
Wait.. here's why it was flying low..

Imagine, if you will, being a civilian in a war-torn country and watching this huge bomber circling over your head. I'd dump in my Depends!

That's very cool,
I hopeing it just return from a surgical strike on our country's federal opposition's headquarters.
There's always hope........isn't there?

Hallelujah, brother Kabey

WOW! That's really cool, doesn't even seem real. I watched X-men and The Silver Surfer last night and it's more akin to being in a movie. Thanks for sharing.

Cool pics! Where I used to live we were under a flight path for KC-135s. I looked up on several occasions to see B-2s pulling up to refuel!

Hard to mistake that plane for anything else in the sky!
