I was expecting this. There are currently 4 cargo planes visible. No ASW flights, no ISR flights, no Stratcom flights and none of the Blackhawks have transponders on. We went from average daily activity of 300-400, down to 4 sometime last night.
Could be nothing. But it could be something huge. It’s actually more spooky than seeing a huge number of activity. Transponders are left on for a variety of reasons. A big one being safety. They use them for a reason. Turning them off is not a decision made lightly. It’s basic risk management.
Something caused them to choose to turn off the transponders. The need for secrecy right now outweighs the safety provided by using transponders. It’s not done for fun. It’s not a normal state of existence.
Gotta admit, the timing is interesting. The election system is obviously completely broken. We are being shown. Q is posting more frequently now, “taking control” was mentioned.
Don’t get too excited. But this is definitely very unusual. Another sign that something large is occurring that we aren’t being told.
Update. 1050 east coast time starting to see traffic again. So for whatever reason, from about 9 pm east coast time yesterday, until about 9 am, transponders were off. There are too many reasons to list what could have caused it. My hunch would be that they wanted to move assets around without anyone noticing. We aren’t the only ones watching. Our enemies of course are watching 24/7. A 12 hour window would allow you to move a bunch of shit around without anyone seeing it.
Stay frosty.
It's a federal holiday. Military gets a 96. 4 days off. Usually Friday through Monday but this year, liberty was probably sounded Wednesday. This 96 was as slow as the Thanksgiving and Christmas when I was in. Personal opinion is its probably nothing. Just a long weekend.
I thought about that but it doesn’t explain the lack of usual duty aircraft. The training flights and all the usual activity over the aviation training locations yes. It also doesn’t explain why it was only 12 hours or so. Or why the number of aircraft at one point was 2.
I can’t buy that so many people got a 96 that we had 2 aircraft up.
Only 9 up right now. Still seems off.
Yes it does. Even accounting for a potential long weekend. I don’t buy that we needed P8 sub hunters up and down the east coast for the last year or more every single day, and now everyone is on vacation. Its just not how that works.
This is less aircraft than you will see Christmas morning. Veterans Day weekend doesnt explain this. Holidays are a privilege not to be expected, but appreciated when you do get them.
Where the fuck did all the P8s go? And all the tankers? I can’t buy vacation. Not for ALL of them.
