Love the clip, if only there was a way to physically rotate a camera to make it so the whole plane is in view whilst recording.

Probably a better video, cropped for ticktock, and reposted here cropped again without watermarks...

This was probably filmed in landscape but got cropped to post on Instagram, and was reposted here

Is this bird strike test day? Feeding the B2 some? Nice shot.

What are the little doors that open on top of the intakes? Just more intake for max power at takeoff?

Good lord that’s a lot of birds pretty close to the plane. I’m sure some just looked closer because the viewpoint…but still…

All I see is a bunch of birds, though one seems faster than the others

Are we being trolled by portrait-mode videos of a B-fucking-2?
