The Marching Jayhawks were interrupted midway through the national anthem Saturday at Memorial Stadium, but the sudden noise was anything but rude.

“It was enough to rattle your heart,” said Robin Scaletty, of Parsons.

The rumble shook Nathan Drinkhouse’s 40-yard-line seat.

“It was right over us,” the fourth-grader said. “It was really, really loud.”

When the thin, black B-2 stealth bomber swooped in over the Campanile before the Kansas-Nebraska football game, it was over in a matter of seconds. But it remained a topic of conversation the rest of the evening.

Capt. Rich High was stewing chili when he heard the jet thunder over his Alabama Street home. He recognized the sound and dashed for the door.

“Problem is you don’t hear it until it’s already gone,” he said. “But I suppose that’s the point.”

He and his wife, Mary, moved to Lawrence in August, after being stationed at a joint Navy/Air Force base in Japan. There, he flew P-3 aircraft for the Navy. Now, he teaches in Kansas University’s ROTC program.

Bryan Huynh, a KU graduate student from St. Louis, was in his bedroom in his house just a block north of the stadium when the bomber roared overhead.

Jayhawk fans Kimani Davis, 7, and his mom, Denise, look skyward at a B-2 stealth bomber. The aircraft flew over Memorial Stadium on Saturday before the Kansas- Nebraska football game. The Jayhawks lost, 24-3.

“It took me by surprise. I kind of did a little jump,” he said, sheepishly.

No one noticed the thunderous noise at the player/parent ticket line, security guard Chee Lester said.

“They’re old hats at this,” she said.

But that doesn’t mean no one took notice. Husker fan JoAnn Richling, of Weeping Water, Neb., has seen many flyovers at Nebraska games over the years, she said as she was leaving Memorial Stadium.

“But it was exciting; it’s always exciting,” she said.
