Hey Planefags! Six P8s just took off in line from Jacksonville, accompanied by 4 unidentifieds, headed west.

Likely a precautionary flyoff because of the tropical storm coming up the west coast of FL or a deployment. It'll be interesting to see if the fighters stay with them or go some where else.
It appears that the fighters are splitting off slightly to the south....
Not certain if this is unusual but I see SAM770 is up.

SAM770 also was flown as AF2

Slick! Thanks
Cool. I just looked at your link - notice how all of them are flying west? I will be watching them for certain.
they are flying in circles (or oddly back and forth)
The first two look like they're landing near Ft. Worth. Storm skeered for sure. Some fighters look to be headed to San Antonio.
SOP for inbound hurricanes.
Uncommon, for sure worth watching. Could be training, could be storm relocation, could be a rogue sub..
Two more P8s and two P3s just let Jacksonville as well.
Can you post the codes?
Some back and forward going on there with SAM770
Interestingly the fighters are on the coastal side of the train of P8's.
Cleary that would be the direction of any incoming attacks.
sam planes making some weird flight patterns
looks like sam 770 is headed to phoenix
Maybe Shreveport? Military base there.
Descending now. Ft Hood has long runways. They aiming Ft Hood right now
There are Gen Dynamics runways NW Fort Worth. My latest guess for P8s
So all the P8s in Fort Worth TX, Sam770/AF2 landing in LA ? Anything noteworthy with this?

Is that Ops normal for an incoming storm front?
PS something I learned the other day, recently lots of P 8's on the east coast, sub hunting, but did you know that for 2 years plus an area of the coast of Virginia is where they were seeing the UFO's daily?
Normal when right in the path, but sometimes an excuse for "rapid bug-out" training.
Not surprised on the UFO's there. I know an airman that was standing on the ramp of a C-130 next to the loadmaster near Virginia Beach a few years back, and said they both watched a MASSIVE USO streak by under water. Said it was moving faster than the plane.
That's really interesting thanks. I was listening to the Fast Jet pilot Col (?) Fraver who was the lead in the tic tac UFO, and his wingman the female pilot who's name escapes me.
But then I saw a younger fast air pilot talking in an interview, he wasn't serving at this point and said in the interview that crews would see them up around an area east of Norfolk/Virginia coast daily for over 2 years. They had encounters pretty much every day. It showed an area boxed off on the map, which I found interesting as that's where a lot of P8's had been for weeks recently.
woah...
Impressive and assume very unusual?
Not unusual when a possible hurricane..
