The U-2 has a rear view mirror on a long stick. It's there to check if the thing is laying a contrail or not.
Whereas the B-2, being the complete opposite of the Skunk Works philosophy, apparently employs a rearwards-facing LIDAR that scans for formation of a contrail. Seems like a perfect homing target...
