Bon Voyage B-1 Bomber

Bob and I spent a lovely hour yesterday afternoon sitting in the shade in front of our home, watching birds and waiting for the B-1 Bomber to take to the skies from nearby Long Beach Airport. Bob had his camera at the ready.

It was easy to tell when the jet began its take-off roll.

It was LOUD.

Soon the war bird rose siftly over the trees:


It made a graceful arc over our back yard:


...and flew off into the wild blue yonder:



See the KCAL 9 video here.

It was a rare sight indeed.

What a pleasant way to spend an afternoon!
