Departing today from DPA I got this from tower;
"Traffic 2 o'clock five miles two thousand five hundred B-2"
My first thought is it could not be a real B-2 because what is it doing at 2500 10 or so miles west of Ohare. It was though so that created another question. What the heck what was 1.8B of our tax dollars doing cruising along at 2500 in the Chicago area? I am sure it was there for the Chicago Air and Water show, but why that low under the western side of the Bravo shelf? Could they not get a clearance into the Bravo? At any rate when it cleared the Bravo airspace it climbed like crazy to the west.
