According to MLive, Leipprandt was flying 4,000 feet in a helicopter with his camera above the Rose Bowl. With a little luck and impeccable timing, Leipprandt captures the B2 Spirit Bomber during a flyover of the stadium before the Michigan-Alabama game. Also according to MLive, Leipprandt said that he had to direct the pilot to the perfect spot above the stadium, since he was sitting on other side of the helicopter. And to add to the incredible moment, the photographer's brother was with him who is is a U.S. Air Force veteran. After catching the now viral shot, the brothers made it on the ground in time to cheer the Wolverines on to a win.

Leipprandt, who’s from Traverse City, has taken other flyover photos at stadiums like Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State, as well as some shots with the Coast Guard.
