Not too often do you get to see a B2 from above! I can also say that the data on the B2 is inaccurate; we were over flown by one (opposite direction) by 1000 feet just last week over MCI in an ERJ.

A visitor from United States posted Thu August 13, 2009:
Now i can say this is not the best quality picture i have seen but i cant imagine what it took to get this! 5*!!

A visitor from Thailand posted Sun August 9, 2009:
How could u get such an awesome photo at an awesome time!

A visitor from United States posted Sun June 7, 2009:
That is just sweet :D My only question is how you got that pic knowing that when the B-2 flies they divert every commercial aircraft for approx 100 miles (I discovered this shortly after 9/11/01). Sufice to say I am very impressed.

A visitor from United States posted Thu May 14, 2009:
Wow, what a shot, Mark thanks for sharing.

A visitor from India posted Thu May 14, 2009:

A visitor from Puerto Rico posted Wed March 18, 2009:
Awesome shot!!!! what a great view of te stadium , the B-2 is such a marvelous aircraft!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed March 18, 2009:
Amazing and only possible in the US.
Look at the number of people there, the grand spectacle, the bomber, the band, the field. Breathtaking.

A visitor from United States posted Fri March 13, 2009:
POV is killer!

A visitor from Italy posted Wed March 11, 2009:

A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon February 9, 2009:
I do hope that B-2 wasn't there for its usual job :P Great photo and you must have been really lucky to catch this aircraft at this moment. Fantastic! 5 stars!

A visitor from - posted Sun February 8, 2009:

A visitor from United States posted Wed February 4, 2009:
Unbelievable!

A visitor from - posted Sun January 25, 2009:
Simply incredible. Although a rival team, its my home stadium and I really appreciate this photo. Usually its an F/A-18 or something but this day HAD to be special :D

Amazing job by the photographer!

A visitor from India posted Sun January 25, 2009:
Fantastic !!

A visitor from United States posted Tue January 20, 2009:
Now you know why they call the Rose Bowl Game the Grandady of all bowls. This photo is living proof.

A visitor from United States posted Mon January 19, 2009:
I wonder what the person who took the photo was flying.

A visitor from United States posted Sun January 18, 2009:
Amazing!

A visitor from Ireland posted Sun January 18, 2009:
I have never seen anything like this before, great shot. It is one of the best pictures on Airliners.net

A visitor from United States posted Fri January 16, 2009:
Great timing, beyond amazing! will you do a poster?

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
If I am not mistaken, this is the same shot which appears in the January 12 issue of Sports Illustrated. The photographer was in a Cessna at 4500 feet.

A visitor from Germany posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Quite a photo I might say.

A visitor from - posted Thu January 15, 2009:
I just couldn't believe it!! For sure one of the best photos on A.net ever!! 5*

A visitor from - posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Would've been better with Cal Band =P Truly awesome shot!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
To those who are wondering how this photo was taken.. This photo was recently featured in SI magazine and was taken from a Cessna (Sam Chui would be proud) looking down at the B-2 as it flew over the stadium. Incredible shot

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
This photo is just amazing. I stared at my sports illustrated for about a hour in awe of this photo!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Amazing.
The Marching Band on the field below makes it even better. This photo is one of a kind.

A visitor from - posted Thu January 15, 2009:
I love the b-2 nice pic

A visitor from - posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Great Picture!!!!!!!! Too bad we had to lose...

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
That is a rockin' shot! Great color variations on the fans and the stadium is packed. The military plane is taking notes... Army/Navy football, rofl!

A visitor from Canada posted Thu January 15, 2009:
He obviously lives on the moon and has a out of this world camera with a 800X optical Zoom Duh!!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Wow, simply amazing.

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
How did you get this shot? Timing was perfect!

A visitor from Mexico posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Awesome shot. Rose Bowl game and B-2 showin

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
How the hell?!?! Outstanding shot - truly one of the greatest yet!!! I'd give it TEN stars if I could!

A visitor from Austria posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Man, this is some shot! Incredible - no other word for this...

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
WOW! That is a beautiful shot, hell I looked at the picture thinking it was just a great stadium shot, and then lo and behold, I see the B-2, what a delightful surprise:)

A visitor from Brazil posted Thu January 15, 2009:
I remember watching the ROSEBOWL on tv, and seeing the B2 flying over the stadium when the national anthem was finished!!

Great picture dude.!!!

A visitor from Costa Rica posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Great shot Mark, many congratulations.

A visitor from Canada posted Thu January 15, 2009:
A little googling shows that this is the "Spirit of Missouri" (88-0329). The "Spirit of Pennsylvania" flew over the parade.

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
I think the photographer might have been in that Goodyear blimp that's been flying over the game all day long!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Just amazing sir. This is a truly unique photo.

A visitor from Poland posted Thu January 15, 2009:
WOW! I'm spechless... This photo is marvelous

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
How can you *not* rate this 5 stars? So many details! I love how the stadium is so split between the two teams playing. So much detail, and I bet half the crowd didnt even know the Spirit was over their heads! Amazing!

A visitor from Spain posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Wow My god ! Probably one of the most amaizing pictures of the world !

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Absolutely fantastic shot. This one made my day, especially because I was in the student section, row 4!! Fight On Trojans!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Google earth? hmmmm... great shot!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
5/5 stars is not enough for this photo. Just stunning. Please share the details if you can...

A visitor from Brazil posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Incredible shot!!

A visitor from Germany posted Thu January 15, 2009:
5 Star +. Thats one of the all-time best photos I´ve seen on a.net. And a bit frightening it is, too.

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
I give it 5 Stars for being truly unique. Capturing a very rarely seen aircraft in a setting such as the Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day 2009 deserves a lot of credit.

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Simply amazing, although I wish the outcome of the game would have been different. ;)

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Amazing photo!! You mixed 3 of my loves into one photo: Aviation, Penn State and American football. We Are... Penn State!

A visitor from Austria posted Thu January 15, 2009:
So much detail everywhere, you could stare at this for ages. Long shadows make it even better.

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
This is one of those photos I'd take if I had the ability to travel freely in space and time. Amazing.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu January 15, 2009:
OMG i have never seen better photo this is so stunning.

A visitor from Canada posted Thu January 15, 2009:

A visitor from Spain posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Do you work for Google Earth?? what a view!!! Thanks is Just Perfect!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Exceptional! Very nice!

A visitor from United States posted Thu January 15, 2009:
Awesome!! My beloved Trojans!! Great photo Mark!! I live near the Rose Bowl and saw this fly-over from my patio. Thanks for sharing this photo...

WOW, nothing else to say

A visitor from Russian Federation posted Thu January 15, 2009:
What a flight! What a moment! And a spectacular point of view - my congratulations, Mark, for a good shot. Is it a New Year celebration?
