- A one-hour special takes us from Northrop Grumman where the B2 is built to Edwards Air Force Base to take a look at the B2 up close. Huell and Luis were the first media representatives to be allowed in the cockpit of this top secret plane.

It's 2018 and I still never get tired of seeing the B2 bomber. Just takes my breath away. I met Huell some years ago and miss him dearly.
great video, Huell did a great job for what was allowed, awesome, thank you security & Edwards Air Force base.....
Wow, Lt Col Tony Grady is actually running for office in Nevada. Good luck to him. Very polished officer.
Probably the best part for me in this video is that red klaxon. My old man worked for Hughes Aircraft which designed and built avionics and weapon systems on most military aircraft. He never mentioned anything he work on unless it was published but did mention that any "unclean people" who came into a top secret area had to be escorted by someone carrying that red klaxon. He said anything and everything had to be covered up or doors closed if anyone came walking through with that red klaxon So, now I got to see it and know he was being honest. He also gave presentations at the NSA before the NSA was even known. Lets just say if you think you can go into a NSA building, take the elevator to a floor and go to a numbered room you're mistaken. No numbered floors in the elevator and every floor is exactly the same. Good luck in even knowing what floor you're on much less finding the room you're looking for.
u lucky u got his genes
I used to live in Lancaster during the 80s and 90s and saw the B2 flying around quite often, it always was a thrill also the SR71 Blackbird flew over house a lot I once found out when a Blackbird was taking off and took my kids to see it.
It came out of the rising sun dumping fuel and was gone
Most impressive
I worked on this program and even now there is still a bunch of security on that base.
Edit; I should note that I did not know what I was working on. They keep it that way, need to know orders all the way around. What did I do, you may ask? Well I made the doogumwhackies that made the thingamajigs work properly and the thingamajigs made the whackinmetallywhacker go str8.
I love those Navajo stuffs you dumped on us 😂😂😂😂😂. Let me try to translate what you are saying with my limited decoding ablity. In other words you were working on flight control systems? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@tilethio Bio-engineer, space travel self contained life support systems. Not high tech exactly until you try to put it into a small space and we did it.
The 50th anniversary of the Air Force was in 1997. I was in boot camp. I just retired from the Air Force. 1997 was a different time. 2020s has got to be one of the worst decades of my life.
I saw one fly over at night time in San Jose California going to moffet field on 9/11.
It's funny that they had to explain what "stealth" and "stealthiness" mean. Those words have become such a common part of the American vernacular since, largely due to the B2.
I worked on it in Pico Rivera from 1984-1999
I remember a LA Times article about the PR plant. Someone sitting on the can in the bathroom was using a calculator to do some work, security busted in on him thinking he was stealing info. They had the whole place bugged to catch any electronic noise, yes even punching numbers on a calculator sends out a signal. The whole area around the plant was a no fly zone with authorization to shoot down any aircraft that came close. That was from the LA Times article. My old man worked on it with Hughes Aircraft. Only time he talked about anything was when it became public. Then he would say "Wanna see what I do at work?" then he show you an published article about it.
Amazing. Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
My father was at Pico Rivera from Mar 85 to Fall 95. I believe he said he was a "cost estimator", whatever that involved.
nice job LtCol Grady, Pride Rides
So sad the original wing crashed in Chino r.i.p.
In the Army we have flying foxholes that are a lot of fun for us Infantry types.
au . Darwin 2006 seen a B2 bomber take off closeup .
An x airforce serviceman Brandon told us it was coming about 2pm 🕑info from mate at airport tower
no one Knows where it is . The tower only gets notified 50klms away due to security .
missed it landing busy working but Heard it Roar to life next to airport Awsome sight .
Kool guy group
Folks not accustomed to military security measures are sometimes fascinated by them. And the B-2 program was and may still be largely inaccessible because of them. So this video doesn't even provide a good look at a B-2. The most intriguing feature of the visit to me was that one of the B-2 pilots was wearing eyeglasses. I guess test-pilots needn't meet the vision requirement that combat pilots do.
I agree. They showed and told us what is already public information which most of us know about.
How much would a chinese or russian pay for this information?
Why? Are you selling any?
I pay top dollar for american information
They’ve already stolen it
This baby on her outside is free for everyone to see
Seen it before, because of "secrecy" this turned out to be 'The Worst' Huell Howser episode because almost everything that he wanted to see or do 'they' said NO ! ! ! A real DOWNER, to watch Huell Howser turn into a negative NO person.
He was went inside Plant 42, what do you expect? This was, and still is, one the most secure places in the country. It's amazing he got this close in 1997. Someone at Northrup or the Air Force was clearly a Huell fan.
