This is on Whiteman AFB where B-2 bombers are stationed. Mural of a B-2 painted on the bottom of the pool.

Hi!
That thing was funny and clearly visible and obviously no fake from a GE freak, but....it is gone now ( 38°43'39.95"N 93°34'9.19"W)!
Did they "rework" their swimming pool? Does somebody has a explanation for this?

Full explanation for the sudden disappearance of the B-2 Stealth Bomber mural from Whiteman AFB's swimming pool can be found in the newly updated special section on UK Secret Bases Part 3:-

Just scroll down to see a comparison of the "before" and "after" shots, using a bit of special "magic"!

Well, I'm really baffled. That is simply ridiculous. They sell thousands of GE freaks for stupid!
You mentioned the swimming pool (obviously considered as a secret) but I think also the aspects about RAF Fairford is a shame! And that all to hide a well known secret and to avoid that rather unsensational view.
