The 509th BomberWing assigned to the United States Air Forces Global Strike Command (AFGSC) with three of its B-2 Spirit stealth bombers have been deployed to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, flying directly from their home base of Whiteman in Missouri. The deployment is rumoured to be for up to two months.
I made my first visit to photograph them on September 3rd 2019; the local weather started fine but deteriorated to overcast before two of the three visiting bombers recovered to Fairford.
On the ground, along with B-2 82-1068 Spirit of New York, were two C-5M Super Galaxys. At least one was parked up while Vice President Pence was visiting Dublin.

There's nothing else to say other than I hope you enjoy the photos.
