Happy New Year!!

It has become a regular thing for the Stealth Bomber to fly the length of Colorado Blvd. to start off the Rose Parade. I watched them do this four years ago from Echo Mountain above Altadena. When they made the turn to fly back, they did it over "the basin". This year they obviously turned around over the mountains because the bomber and two fighter wing men flew directly over Chantry Flat! Of course you don't hear them coming and they're almost gone by the time you do hear them, so Sue didn't get a very good look and Brad missed them altogether.

Fifteen minutes later, as we were all standing in the clearing of the parking lot, they flew over again; this time lower and slower. They were headed due north toward Newcomb's Saddle so we got a good, long look at them.
