exactly, understand T38's & Tex2's are training aircraft. Daily training at Columbus AFB, (MS), Laughlin AFB (TX), Randolph AFV (TX) and several other bases. It is not uncommon for other aircraft to squawk as a trainer. i.e. fighters have been know to do this for intelligence purposes.
Sir, this is a research board. We investigate everything and take nothing at face value. Validating and verifying everything is essential. But we can leave no stone unturned.
I am completely fine with that, and I encourage rational, high-effort researched theories. We just don't need a new tread about more planes in the air without meaningful correlation.
That’s the biggest lesson to be learned. It’s so hard to adhere to.. they obviously are running a tight ship. No outside comms. No leaks. All we know is that shit ain’t right. Everything is weird
I'll admit I was caught up in this new form of bird-watching to feed my hopium addiction. But then I grew up and realized I had no idea what any of it meant and my time was better spent on other things.
I want to contribute so badly, make any kind of difference to improve the situation.
I’m actually struggling now to even express how strong my feelings are, I find it impossible to articulate.
My very existence feels threatened... my life, my soul, my family, my comprehension of reality, the foundations of every decision I’ve ever made. I operated in life on certain assumptions and unraveling all of this political situation and human history has obliterated every single one.
I had a station in life, I knew where I stood, I knew where I needed to go, I had goals and knew what I wanted to do next to achieve them.
Now I face a new reality where my goals mean nothing, they are forged in fantasy. I have little to no control over anything, I have little or nothing built that can’t be easily destroyed, everything I work toward any goal any desire anything I think is Good could turn to dust at any moment.
If evil pedophiles that torture children can run the world for generations, then I’ve been praying in the wrong direction.
God may be above me, God may be in charge, God may have a Good plan.
I say this to God, Show me Righteousness unto the world before I embrace the demons, Show me that faith shines light beyond my life, I do not want your blessings while the innocent suffer, I will bask in darkness rather than abandon kindred souls, I would rather burn in hell for eternity than use my fellow man as the stepping stones to heaven.
I appreciate your situation, we're all feeling the impact of these challenging times. Hang in there friend.
As for your last paragraph, to deny good here where evil prospers over there does not make sense. To embrace evil here if evil over there does not get vanquished, also does not make sense. You are not responsible for the entire world, you are responsible for your decisions and your actions or inaction. Do good where you can, and pray for those who are beyond your reach. Hang in there and be in a position where you can help others and not need help yourself. Giving up not only hurts yourself but denies any sort of help to those you are deeply concerned about. That is a lose decision and you are made to win. Win at life, Win at your quality relationships with God and others, and one day you will be in a position to help others. Perhaps even today. Step one is giving your life to Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-P7KBaCYlg
This is how I feel lately, too. Due to many factors, I spent much of my life directionless, didn’t put down roots, never started a family, lived a fairly insular life and didn’t plan well for the future.
Over the past few years as I transition to middle age, that had begun to change. For the first time, I felt grounded. I began to live life with purpose. I realized that living in urban/suburban areas was one of the largest sources of stress in my life, so I moved to the country and finally bought a house. I had started to come out of the shell and make an attempt to be social and participate in my community. Then 2020 came along and pulled the rug out from under me.
I finally had a plan, I had a direction, and then suddenly it seemed meaningless. Anything and everything could be taken from me at any moment and there would be nothing I could do about it. I’ve always been hugely skeptical and never accepted things at face value, but I never felt compelled to dig deeply. I never trusted the system, and just tried my best to ignore it. Suddenly, that was no longer possible. It was time to take the red pill.
I had never experienced faith in my life. I was always agnostic, or maybe just plain atheist. As the situation in our nation and our world became more dire, I found that beginning to change. The past couple months, while I still feel enraged at all of the injustices we’re seeing so blatantly committed, I’ve begun to find peace.
They say there are no atheists in a foxhole, but I don’t feel like this is faith borne out of desperation. Perhaps I am grasping at the final shreds of reason in a world gone insane, but it feels more like I am realizing that while these people are truly evil, their influence over me is purely mundane. They can exercise, or attempt to exercise dominion over my physical body, but my soul can not and will not be surrendered unless I allow it.
I will not allow it. I choose instead to stoke the ember of faith until I find a higher sort of red pill; until my faith is absolute. I will find the way, or die trying.
Faith will protect their souls. 2A is all we have to protect our physical bodies. I think our first duty right now is to do right by ourselves and those closest to us. No single one of us can bear the weight of the world or stand up to the evil in it. We need to stay true to ourselves, to each other, and to God. I spent most of my life focusing on myself without staying true, ignore my impact on others, and denying God. If nothing else, you sound like you’re ahead of me in most of these regards.
I couldn’t have expressed this feeling of angst any better thank you, my friend. I believe we are feeling the same way in various degrees. But I look at it like this; necessity breeds opportunity. When one door closes, another one opens. And often blank canvases are what we need to paint a new beautiful future rather than trying to cover the past like a bad tattoo. We’re in this together. We all feel your pain and soon, we will all feel the same glory (I hope and pray, anyway).
I don't see anything unusual in the air (military) right now and the numbers seem lower than average (up to 350 seems normal).
Two E-6s airborne, both out of Tinker, but not flying over water so not transmitting VLF and don't appear to be on any type of interesting flight path.
Based on the comments I don't have a problem with having a planefagging post stickied, but someone should change the title since it is now clearly misleading (there are NOT "many" planes in the air currently).
Maybe start a new sticky thread titled: "planefagging"
Normal monday. I do enjoy looking at the names. Sometimes they are funny. I’ve seen some that appeared to be digs at Biden. Some are also just funny in general. But yes typical Monday as of now.
Today I'm spotting more military aircraft listed as n/a type and/or call sign. On one, even the hex id came back as non-existent. Another came back as B52, but was flying at 9,000 ft playing with a helicopter. Seems like increased secrecy and mis-direction of some flights.
I heard somewhere else that Biden's AF2 plane is borrowed from someone and repainted to look official. I want to know the tail number of the plane so we can test that theory.
Kill box......Iron Eagle.........three different types of air craft for the super bowl fly over. Red October. Postings from all branches of military. You never know.
I only see 200 up on ADS-B E. Thats actually under average (250 average)
There is definitely a carrier out there
I saw a P8 briefly earlier but now it has disappeared
I have been keeping an eye on the carrier and I think it moved up north a bit east of Virginia Beach. I have seen planes taking off from these waters.
Teach me the ways of plane fagging
Rule #1, Don't make a new thread about planes if you've not studied the sky for a month so you know what is common and uncommon.
Rule #2, Don't post if you aren't aware that the military often have planes in the air for training, exercises and everyday peacetime operations.
exactly, understand T38's & Tex2's are training aircraft. Daily training at Columbus AFB, (MS), Laughlin AFB (TX), Randolph AFV (TX) and several other bases. It is not uncommon for other aircraft to squawk as a trainer. i.e. fighters have been know to do this for intelligence purposes.
Also, nw Florida has several bases with many fighters that train daily.
Rule #3, Training, exercises and everyday peacetime operations are often the excuses given to cover for ops.
Rule #4, Everything is an opportunity for a flimsy conspiratorial theory.
Sir, this is a research board. We investigate everything and take nothing at face value. Validating and verifying everything is essential. But we can leave no stone unturned.
I am completely fine with that, and I encourage rational, high-effort researched theories. We just don't need a new tread about more planes in the air without meaningful correlation.
I've been flimsy ever since POTATUS took office. Didn't even need to take a vaccine.
Rule #4, see rules 1,2, & 3
Good, if POTUS can fool Monkey then he is doing it right.
That’s the biggest lesson to be learned. It’s so hard to adhere to.. they obviously are running a tight ship. No outside comms. No leaks. All we know is that shit ain’t right. Everything is weird
Probably a year or more... there’s annual trainings, events, rotations, etc.
Someone only watching for a single year and taking no records really has no foundation to make meaningful observations.
Realistically it makes a hell of a lot more sense to track by software that will notify on abnormalities of various dimension.
I'll admit I was caught up in this new form of bird-watching to feed my hopium addiction. But then I grew up and realized I had no idea what any of it meant and my time was better spent on other things.
I’m having similar struggles.
I want to contribute so badly, make any kind of difference to improve the situation.
I’m actually struggling now to even express how strong my feelings are, I find it impossible to articulate.

Don’t make a post at night saying there are no planes in the sky
You must not have a job that requires your attention
I have NO idea whats except it is a MONDAY morning. people going to WORK ?? HONK HONK ??
not here in the uk state of perpetual lockdown!
I don't see anything unusual in the air (military) right now and the numbers seem lower than average (up to 350 seems normal).
Two E-6s airborne, both out of Tinker, but not flying over water so not transmitting VLF and don't appear to be on any type of interesting flight path.
Wonder what's up? Abt ready to change my handle to American mushrooms ?
hate these plane threads, always giant nothingburgers
Then why do you click on the link?
Based on the comments I don't have a problem with having a planefagging post stickied, but someone should change the title since it is now clearly misleading (there are NOT "many" planes in the air currently).
Maybe start a new sticky thread titled: "planefagging"
Planefagging "Today's date" then we can search for the day's thread and enjoy.

The Red Flag exercise is currently going on.

I see no more than a usual Monday morning.
Normal monday. I do enjoy looking at the names. Sometimes they are funny. I’ve seen some that appeared to be digs at Biden. Some are also just funny in general. But yes typical Monday as of now.
So there's like 200-250 what's so special about that? Are they doing something out of the ordinary?
You answered your own question 200-250. Avg day maybe 50. Last night there were only 3.
Huey just flew over our house.
Only branch that still uses any variations of the Huey are the Marines. Specifically the UH-1Y Venom.
The Hueys have mostly been phased out of the other branches.
Cool. I loved seeing them at airshows with my Dad. My Uncle worked on them when he was in the Navy but that was years ago.

Hi! So many posts to thumb through on here. I heard Biden went back on AF1 today. Any confirmation?
If he did I didn’t catch it
Still packed up there, saw a blackhawk cruise overhead for the first time EVER this afternoon, Georgetown, TX.
"clown penis"
New Planefagging task:
I heard somewhere else that Biden's AF2 plane is borrowed from someone and repainted to look official. I want to know the tail number of the plane so we can test that theory.
Are you sure? I'm hearing that the Air Force isn't letting Joe use any of the AF1/AF2 jets.
That doesn't tell me the tail number of the aircraft that Joe flew to Deleware on.
Unless his administration is bankrupt.

2 Australian Military Airbus A322's(100+ passenger air-liners) out of Phoenix.......
Given the general DS toxic hold on AUS one cant help but wonder what/who they are transporting in sufficient numbers to warrant 2 of those...
A British Boeing RC-135 W reconnaissance plane out of Texas and circling over Louisiana is also on the list of things that makes me go hmmm...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_RC-135
https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=43c39c
Also 60+ TEX2's in the air in a few clusters along with some T38's..
Yea, winning the lottery would definitively put one of those on my list.....
Kill box......Iron Eagle.........three different types of air craft for the super bowl fly over. Red October. Postings from all branches of military. You never know.
I think you forgot to filter out Civilian traffic. Almost every plane there has come up as a Civilian flight.
How about DUTYL45 https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae040e
I'm just going to throw this out there. There is always military planes in the air. They're called training sorties and surges. It's not uncommon.
Nc/Sc here. Driving to SC, I saw four Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopters today.
Egyptian military aircraft C130 flying along the east coast. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=01007d
In Flagstaff, AZ and counted at least 6 planes in the sky right now and lots on contrails from planes that recently passed by.
Where? Because I haven't seen more than normal where I live.
SAM735 and VENUS92 have left DC. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfeb8,ae206d
C-130 headed NE out of Alabama(I'm still following it)...
It just made a loop after flying into GA and is still making loops over my city. It must be training.
Can someone say where the main plane that Air Force One usually is has been stationed?
Andrews Air Force base
Joint Base Andrews formerly Andrews Air Force Base, MD.
