U2 out of Robins AFB?

[Nat]

1500 today (5/8/2017) a U2 flew over my home @ about 5000ft. climbing hard and fast. Could hear it for 5mins. after it flew past.
Anyone work at Robins AFB know if this plane is flying sorties out of Robins?

A U2 or a B2?
I don't think the U2 has much "git" down low and is pretty quiet (for a jet).


Edit: They have them there so you may have seen Bono buzzing around!

U2 and they aren't that quite when they're trying to get to altitude quick. U2 looks like a glider with 2 jet engines, B2 looks like Batman's plane. It was a U2.

in for avionics, very limited maintenance , 2s are load, B2s are not, they are sub sonic

I would have loved to have seen that!

They have a damaged one on base that they were trying to repair for awhile. It was in rough shape when I saw it. It looks like from the article that they are going to use it for something else.

U2's still operational?

God bless Kelly Johnson!

Memorial Day 2011 - was in Indianapolis during the Indy 500, they had a B2 bomber do the flyover. I was about 10 miles north of the speedway at a gas station, could hear it coming, about the time it got to me it started climbing, banking to the west, I swear I could hear that sucker for the next 10 minutes just hauling ass out of town. It was awesome, and my thought was I am sure glad that is one of ours. I presume it was headed back to its base in Missouri.
