Global Warming.

“Two Typhoon fighter aircraft from RAF Coningsby were scrambled at 0409 this morning, as part of the UK’s Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) procedures, after an aircraft lost communications in UK airspace,” said the Ministry of Defence. “The aircraft was intercepted and its communications were subsequently re-established. The Typhoons are returning to their base.”

“According to technologist Alp Toker, a Boeing 767-300 from Tel Aviv lost contact with air traffic control at 3.50am, and 10 minutes later at 4am, RAF Coningsby scrambled Typhoons to meet it.”

I wonder what code the transponder was squawking.

Thanks

Krispy or Kreme?

I see six rescue helicopters over the ocean that seem to be looking for something

46. Hillary might be using her broom for other purposes since Bill is no longer available.

I wonder what code the transponder was squawking.

Hopefully NORDO code 7600.

[Does so]

If the name “Typhoon” sounds familiar, there was a WWII interceptor/bomber/fighter by the same name.

A sonic boom scared the crap out of me. What RAF aircraft goes faster than 1100 ft per second?

Eric Swalwell, American Congressman, failed presidential candidate best known for FartGate, immediately tweeted:
“That was NOT me!!”

If elected president, he would be known as “the farter of our country”

[Mr Radical]

Ministry of Defence [translation]:
“At 03:50 hours a Boeing 767-300 in UK airspace en route from Tel Aviv to Arizona went dark. We don’t know why either.”

[Revolutionary]

Sonic boom: strange indeed. I flew over there. Flying low and fast around there is very unlikely. A sonic boom will get your attention, but is no big deal.

[Concentrate]

I won’t tell’em your name!

[mad_as_he$$]

yes.

“...users report being” awakened. He had woken.

[jazminerose]

Baptists, for sure.
