B-2 Stealth Bombers in Coastal Georgia

This morning brought a rare treat for MilCom hobbyists in the southeast, a flight of 3 B-2 bombers working Townsend Range in coastal Georgia. FURY 11-13 (B-2, 509 BW) used 228.400 and 252.900 with Range Control and used 388.850 for air-to-air. The B-2s were working relatively low level; I lost signals on them several times as they went low-level (I did hear altitudes as low as 3,000 ft mentioned). This put them lower than the F-16s that worked the range earlier; I never lost signals on them!
