Also, monkey sees indications we have fighters on the TX/Mexico border, as well as fighters crossing over the ocean to EU
Aerial surveys bit is super interesting. Missile ranges hot in Greenland. Big cargo movement from US to EU. Too many more. Worth watching (just watch at 1.5x)
👍👊
One of the survey planes was over my town last week running tight grid. Forgot about it until now. Connecticut.
We get a fair amount of (what I assume are) WVANG helos over our house in the woods. Sometimes we get more than one a day, but we average about 4 a week.
They tend to come in fairly low - we think they use our house for a waypoint. Never transponding. Sometimes they fly over at night.
Anyhow, last week I was coming home from town, not far from home, and a C5 Galaxy came over the road about as low as the helos fly. There's no place for something that big to land within an hour's drive. I don't know what they were doing, but it was very unusual. Hard to believe something that big flying that slow and low can stay in the air.
When low enough (about a wingspan of altitude), an airplane is in ground effect, which can almost double its lift coefficient. One can sometimes feel it kicking in when an airliner is nearing touchdown.
