Description
While driving across mid-Missouri I noticed jet contrails meandering across the sky and seemingly playing follow-the-leader. I immediately realized they had to be military jets working an exercise, but it took me a few moments to look close enough to identify them as B2 Stealth "Spirit" Bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Sedalia.
It is not often one can see multiple B2's at the same time as they typically fly alone. It is more odd to see them following each other as they play in the clouds with one another (I have never seen it before).
If I remember correctly the cost of these advanced planes worked out to $2 Billion per unit...thus the title of my image.

WOW! Fantastic. I love taking pictures of contrails. BTW because of this photo, I plan to start a contest called "Lines In The Sky," just for contrails. I will have it up in a couple of hours. Hope you enter!
