I got to be the ground controller for the B-2 flyover after the national anthem at the Lifelock 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. I took this shot while trying to talk to the jet at the same time. Hence the small looking B-2.

I know, but I was busy making sure everything was going as planned. Pretty tough to talk on the radio and take photos at the same time.

If you waited any longer, you'd have needed a fisheye. Nice shot.
Did they let you stay up there for the race?

I stood up with the spotters until the first set of pits, and then we went down and walked around the pits and then waited in victory lane for Mark Martin to arrive. He won.

Sweet shot, even if the B-2's a bit far off.

Thanks guys... yeah I wish that the B-2 was closer when I took the shots, but I was busy talking on the radio with the plane.
