My favorite plane. Right on time. It’ll do some fly around through to Texas and head back later in the afternoon. Yesterday though there were two. One came from up north and hung around in California. I personally haven’t seen two out at once yet so that was cool. This one though takes off from there about this time everyday and does what I believe are routine fly around a in Texas area for a couple of hours.
Cool stuff , I've only been watching planes for about 2 months , this is my second time seeing a b-52 . looks like he's headed east today
Then as a planefag who recognizes patterns. That’s new.
Yeah there were two out yesterday at the same time. Cool fucking planes for sure
What is the significance of the B-52?
Just a bad ass plane , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YZY2OIAp8A
Yep that’s my b52 buddy with the call sign all 000000. If it keeps heading north, then that will be a strange happening. Since everyday it circles around south and hangs in Texas. So we will see. I’m a nerd.
If he keeps going straight that runs him right into Washington
Also first time in over a week I’ve seen the MQ4C triton. Been hanging out on East coast up by Washington.
That sounds like a cool one too, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_MQ-4C_Triton
Yep. Very cool. Black hawks are awesome also. I just noticed the triton hanging by Washington and that’s a first I’ve seen one there. There’s been a lot of military plane action up there yesterday and today
Did you here there was a second helicopter crash with 3 ng aboard again ? 33 is one of there favorite numbers , or sometimes bad shit just happens https://news.yahoo.com/3-national-guard-members-were-143148562.html
Yep yesterday. 3 or 4th in two months now. Definitely look at the map now by Washington. Surveillance. Blackhawks. Lots of military planes around there. I also see what I’m guessing will be a “VIP” plane in Washington at some point
Oh is it nerdy that I’m hoping that B52 keeps heading north east and flies over Illinois because I’d love love to catch it on video. Then it can carry on its business lol.
Just went over little rock , maybe taking out the Clintons childhood homes, haha
He just linked up with a KC135 in Oklahoma for some juice.
At least one BUFF flies nearly every day, about a week ago 4 were airborne at once here in CONUS. That is kinda rare, to see that many airborne at once.
I was stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB back in the 70s, they have the Boneyard there. That's where we retire and store aircraft when they are pulled from Service. Back then when B-52s were coming in to be retired they were sometimes flown by the pilots who had flown that aircraft their entire careers, and they would be a bit dramatic about bringing them in the last time.
Tucson is in a valley surrounded by mountains, those guys would come thru a pass, drop down a little lower than they were probably supposed to, kick the engines into max, bank it kinda steep and scream around the perimeter of the valley at low altitude, burning coal as we say today. They were loud and proud, gave everyone a good show before they ghosted in and parked it.
Trivia for you to use on Normies next time you fly. Planes usually experience wing lift as they transition from ground to flight. The wing tips on the B-52 travel up 22 feet when it rotates off the runway.

Sounds like they knew their birds, and the right way to give them a farewell. probably waited years to see what they could really do!
Example? word Q has used? "Q" in callsign?
And there's those who think we can't trust our boys , I think we can !
I live near an AFB and they have been sending jets out at 7:30 for the past two nights. This is not routine. I couldn't find the plane post to mention it, as I am curious about what's going on.
Do you ever get on https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ so see if you can spot them ? maybe see where they are going?
Thanks! I will try tonight if I hear them.
Awesome!
Trying to do things how I've been instructed but some times its easy to find other times can't find it at all, Tried searching for it , nothing. SO if theres a way to find it every time that i don't know about I would be glad to do so once I am informed how to go about it.
601 birds right now , seems like a lot . the norm is about 150 is it not?
nevermind needed refresh, about 300
