I just can't take him any longer. Was watching the sit rep in bed this morning and started yelling at the TV, "YOU FUCKING MORON!!!!"
Wife asked why I was yelling. I said, "BECAUSE HE'S A FUCKING MORON!!"
This guy is wrong about almost everything. I live in Las Vegas. He said there is a TFR for Vegas because of an air show. No. There is no air show. Not even a canceled one. Yes, the MyRadar app hints to that, but it's not the case. Nellis AFB calls for TFRs all the time under the guise of an air show since the USAF Thunderbirds are based there. So, no rich analysis from Monkey because he's just videoing himself reading data from a publicly available app.
Then he pointed out planes flying near the "Pax River" area. They were actually flying near Joint Base Charleston. Those two bases are nowhere near each other.
And all the fucking banter of P-3s and P-8s flying around Florida, like they are looking for enemy subs trying to kill Trump. No, they are training. That's what pilots do. They train almost every day. Even the other guys aboard are training as well. Not every military sortie over CONUS is an act of war.
And no, when a president travels aboard a USAF jet, it is not REQUIRED to carry the call sign of Air Force One. The captain can have the call sign whatever he wants. Usually Air Force One, but doesn't have to be. And a lot of the time the presidential jet doesn't have a transponder turned on at all.
I saw a C-32A traveling from JB Andrews to California and it had the call sign AF2. It was Kamala going home. I don't think Monkey will acknowledge that.
The worst was when he claimed the massive ingress of "heavies" into Nellis AFB back in December was an indicator of something big was going down. I was aboard Nellis that weekend. I saw all those "heavies" on the ramp. Any guess on where their crews were? At the Bellagio throwing dice. It was an exercise. One that is huge, but not uncommon.
There was a similar exercise at Peterson AFB a year earlier, almost to the day.

So he claims to have 35 years of experience in this arena. I seriously doubt that.
He is lying, or just plain ignorant?
Great. Where is this air show? I'd like to go!
Check the link.
The TFR covers Nellis AFB from 17 March to 19 March from the deck to 18,000 ft. Yes, I know there is a TFR. Here me now: there is no air show at Nellis. NASCAR was here last week which is near the base. TFRs for those events can happen. If someone can tell me where an air show is happening Wed-Thurs-Fri of next week, I would love to know more.
According to the FAA, there is a TFR because of an air show.
Take it up with them.
I don't have to, I already know. Here's a lesson for you and Monkey. Just because the FAA says something, that doesn't make it true. There is no air show anywhere near Las Vegas Wed-Fri of next week.
