Emergency crews have called off the search in Texas for a C-17 transport plane.

[OL Hickory]

Strange....

[epluribus_2]

It was actually transported to Kolob as part of the Philadelphia-2009 project.

"There is no plane crash for you to search for."

[cubreporter]

Strange indeed. FOX had it up there. Thank God this was not a true story. TV should wait for confirmation before being so reckless as to put this up on TV. There are loved ones out there with family flying these planes and they were probably scared out of their minds. All TV news and the like are reckless and don’t care about anything or anyone except getting in their story first. Disgraceful

Oh, maybe it was weather balloons or crash dummies.

Something strange going on in Archer County. Archer City is where the Last Picture Show was filmed and the home of the author. Sheppard AFB used to be home for SAC B-52's.

This is weird.

I’m trying to get more info and google is extra squeaky clean on this topic.

Doesn’t Sheppard have something to do with NATO troops as well?

[vetvetdoug]

I used to live in Burkburnett...its at the North end of the runway. Sheppard's runway is large enough to accommodate the C-5A’s and large aircraft. NATO does train pilots there. I was living there when the Luftwaffe was training their pilots to fly the F-104’s and went to tech school there. I can remember Iranian, Egyptian, German, and South Korean pilots being trained there.
