Here in Kansas near a bombing range. Last year I was pheasant hunting nearby with a farmer big into precision ag, RTK on all equipment. Walking across a grain sorghum field I commented about a very crooked set of rows compared to the rest. "Oh, a B2 went over and it takes a while sometimes to get the row straight afterwards".
Not to much different from my experience in the 60s when driving a combine in the same area I shut of the engine and plugged the whole straw handling system after I suddenly heard the loudest roar imaginable and thought something bad broke. The shadow of a B52 at a few hundred feet altitude immediately answered that question, but not the straw which had to come out by hand.
