    Well it will still be one hell of an impressive plane to see in the air, I remember the B1B at Waterkloof many years ago, VERY impressive aeroplane - the size is just incredible when you remember how quick it can go.

    hbannink I see in your post you say its entry point will be Durban? It would be quite something to see!

    I saw the US B2 bomber at an airshow in the USA a long time ago, I'm not really into aircraft but wow that thing is impressive.

    Yip that was around 1995, quite something to see that thing lift off - it was in Newport, Rhode Island by the way, but don't know from which airfield it took off.
