Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Sometimes I get my hand slapped for posting weird military traffic. But has anyone noticed or can explain why a drone at 45,000 ft is so interested in something east of Carson City, NV?
I noticed it at around 2:00am EST and it had circled the area only about 20 times. If I counted correctly, it's up to like 45 now. Might be heading back to base now.
That part of the country is where the MIL does a lot of its research & development.
Not uncommon to see drones or surveillance aircraft flying in circles there.
Thank you, u/What-Me-Worry. This is right over my home. You’ve got me freaked out.
Sorry about that Fren. I don't often see drones on the flight tracker so it caught my eye.
No concerts, rally's, military equipment movement in your area?
Stay safe!
None that I know of. It’s not an extremely populated place. We are close to Top Gun, approx. 30 miles east of us.
