    Hopefully they don't lose a part like a saw that happened in one of the B-52 fly overs.

     Those bomber squadrons have to get some flight time in before the war in The South China Sea. With the petro dollar on the ropes ,they are going to need a war to blame it's falling from being a reserve currency very soon. With 6 trillion dollars more in debt is not going to be easy for Trump to get reelected unless he can blame it on The Chinese. B)

    The U.S. moves are aimed at countering China’s overwhelming advantage in land-based cruise and ballistic missiles. The Pentagon also intends to dial back China’s lead in what strategists refer to as the “range war.” The People’s Liberation Army (PLA), China’s military, has built up a huge force of missiles that mostly outrange those of the U.S. and its regional allies, according to senior U.S. commanders and strategic advisers to the Pentagon, who have been warning that China holds a clear advantage in these weapons.

    And, in a radical shift in tactics, the Marines will join forces with the U.S. Navy in attacking an enemy’s warships. Small and mobile units of U.S. Marines armed with anti-ship missiles will become ship killers.

    In a conflict, these units will be dispersed at key points in the Western Pacific and along the so-called first island chain, commanders said. The first island chain is the string of islands that run from the Japanese archipelago, through Taiwan, the Philippines and on to Borneo, enclosing China’s coastal seas.

    Top U.S. military commanders explained the new tactics to Congress in March in a series of budget hearings. The commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, General David Berger, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 5 that small units of Marines armed with precision missiles could assist the U.S. Navy to gain control of the seas, particularly in the Western Pacific. “The Tomahawk missile is one of the tools that is going to allow us to do that,” he said.

    Will you be somewhere that you can see them, Susie?  It'd be worth a bit of a drive for me to watch something like that!
    I've seen F-4 Phantoms from above when they were flying the canyons north of Burns, Oregon and have been eye to eye with A-6 Intruder pilots when they were practicing on the bombing range near Boardman, Oregon.  Even saw a B-1 doing a low and slow pass near Boise, ID once.  I'd love to see the B-2's go over!

    Also was unaware the Guard were flying B-2's. (?)

    Was at the Stadium in NY, when a B-2 came in from behind us, and overshot our position. We were on the ground outside the Stadium. Blew by right over our heads. Very impressive.

    2007?
