Oh that? It's part of the government mind control device they use,. it's why I wear a tin foil hat! It's been around since the early 1970's thus it looks so archaic!

Sorry, great shots, but the photo of the B2 which is such a "UFO" in flight got me all X-files as soon as I started reading.

That's an EC-130H Compass Call out of Davis Monthan AFB, communications jamming platform. That's the antenna array. I flew that tail from 1987-1991. Thanks for posting! Brings back a lot of memories form many Red and Green Flag exercises at Nellis.
ChunkyDA (POTN) and I flew them.

That's pretty interesting, I worked on the SIB (stuff in back) from 1987-1990 :)

Atexasphotog,
Sorry to correct -- The B2's stop at Nellis is not it's home, all B2's are home-based at Whiteman AFB Mo.
That is unless the AF has changed something in the last few months
