I believe your right!!
Well, I can say for a fact, I heard 2 different refueling ops talking to ATC during a 2 hour flight back from Florida, on Sunday the 6th, and some A-10’s going to the range.
Very interesting post Lenora. 8>)
Respectfully disagree. When I came upon FR in 1996 sometimes all that were posted were ‘vanities’, essays about current events. They were welcomed because the alternative was mainstream media pasture feces.
There were many times when the only replies in a thread were me and JImRob or some other FReeper discussing the merits of a post. And then, when the corporate copyright lawyers came after JimRob, there was for some time almost no alternative to original content.
I believe we should welcome reasoned analysis, give helpful feedback and encouragement so that these voices grow and multiply and take off beyond this forum.
I’d guess first that it’s guys and crews, active and reserve, getting in missed mandatory training hours for the year after a summer of pandemic delays.

I guess Antifa brass figures overrunning Seattle’s Third Precinct trained em up enough to beat NATO.
Get some rest, Gina. You look tired.
Welcome to FREEREPUBLIC
WHAT is coming though?
Because of the lack of success in reversing this past election, people are grasping at any sign that something is being done.
I noticed a decent amount of fighter activity undergoing some high-power maneuvering yesterday - we have no fighter stationed at the local base.
Didn’t think anything of it except how I love the sound and feel of military power afterburners shaking up the air.

What is/are the links for tracking I should know? Thanks!
FEDERAL FISCAL year ends on Sept 30 each year. Not calendar year end.
Thank you for that background and perspective on FR. Understanding what this site is, exactly, has been a challenge.
I stumbled upon it when someone posted my Trump Is Not A Malignant Narcissist article here and, for some silly reason, perhaps because of the name of the site, assumed I was among like-minded friends. Some are, some aren’t!
If I’d expected FR to be just another forum full of trolls, I wouldn’t have been blindsided by the ferocity of the trolls on this site.
If this site were better moderated, and the trolls put on ice, it would be a much pleasanter place and more people would be apt to linger, share and donate. But with the level of toxicity that’s allowed under the euphemism of “hazing”...a lot of good people leave as soon as they’ve found this site and take their contributions elsewhere.
Really sad. The site has so much potential.
Agreed.
I can’t account for the trolls— whether they’re really conservative and mean for FR to succeed, or they’re leftists messing with us.
There are some self-appointed nannys here who complain about anything original in one breath and also about the cursed ‘mainstream media’ in the next. You can’t silence original voices and complain about ‘the media’.
I don’t know what’s to be gained by shouting down someone o our side (ie you) who is honestly trying to make sense of what we are seeing. I guess it’s self-flattering to some here to take on the role of arbiter and nanny. I take them on when I see them— I wish others would do the same,
In any case, I would encourage you to keep writing, here if you can stand it and anywhere else you can get a forum.

Nice write up! Thanks for posting the whole thing here. Don’t mind the trolls. I’ve been looking for info on this increase in traffic. I wonder if this has anything to do with pre-positioning air assets to distribute vaccine.
