The Geniuses in that 5 sided building in Virginia let someone like me find it on Google Maps...it's the Tonopah Test Range Airport that's been around for a long, long time. It had its "2nd life" in the '80s as the home of the F-117. Currently they appear to be testing some funky stuff...again...or still...or however you want to look at it.
Note: this is where most of the JAT flights went during the 80's & early 90's...when everyone was talking Area 51 & Flying Saucers. There were flights to Groom; but, more was going on here. Ah, the good'ol days!
YAL-40...or something along those lines. There's an AC-130 visible at the other end of the base and I'm thinking it's the AC that is running AL tests from a belly mounted gimbal.
I think that bird is on the same facility.
I think she may have some newer "Fans" hanging on her wings these days...
You can ride to places where you can see TTRA (A-30) and Groom Lake (A-51).
Here is what Raytheon uses for its test mule. You can see the differend nose cone.

The B-2 is such a mystery to me. I know that plane has so much up its sleeve and is capable of way more than we can imagine. Raytheon is constantly working on upgrades and such for that plane. I have some really cool memorabillia from its first flight that my uncle gave to me.
In that picture, it is flying near the b2 because it's a radar plane. They are trying to see the b2 on radar
