The nice relaxing flight was interrupted by me shouting "HOLY SH!T" in the intercomm. Susan, the pilot flinched and said "What?" before I could finish with "It's a STEALTH BOMBER!!!". She said "No way" as my shutter clicked off three shots. A quick photo review on the back of the camera and I gave Susan a high five! We also spotted a U2, but it was too late for me to get a lens on it. | nice job dude i wounder how rare that is | |

U2 - Was that the first fly-by-wire aircraft?
