I wonder whether US B-2 planes are coordinating their routes with various ATCs during their real combat missions to bomb Afghanistan, Iraq and others? They are definitely crossing the Atlantic and, even more, are using some other countries' aerospace (w/o notice or permission?) to reach target areas.

Out of curiosity, why not? Same reason NATO aircraft sometimes don't use IFF on when operating on operational tasks that require some level of secrecy. To make detection more difficult. |

I guess they're worried that B2 or Tu160 pilots might get into the habit of turning the transponder on when flying war time flights...........
