Local pilots get special treatment at Whiteman Air Force Base...

Butlerites Dennis Jacobs and Robert Griffey got a special photo op while attending open house at the Whiteman Air Force Base near Knob Noster, Mo. While the duo taxied their Cessna 172 off the runway, the control tower operator asked if they would like their picture taken with the famous B-2 Stealth Bomber shown in the the background.

Without hesitation, the answer was an enthusiastic "YES" (in pilot speak, roger that!)
