Scares me to death to know that Obama has a complete working knowledge of our intel infra structure
I would see a bunch of E-6’s flying out of Tinker whenever I in town visiting. Even went to the airpark at Tinker. Cool stuff.
I remember when a plain white E-4 NAOC bird flew around just after 9/11. Maybe it was a special variant but people were seeing all sorts of conspiracy in a bird from what was most likely part of the NAOC fleet.
Trump needs to create resources and assets that will be out of Obamas perview
Watch the video people. It is spreading chemtrails. Its normal procedure that everyone denies is happening. Go out on clear days and you will see it happening. Its just that people in Colorado have there heads in the sand.
Taking photos of the supermoon?
I thought it looked like a KC-135 without the refueling boom on the back! I worked on the KC-135 back in 1967-1969.
Oops - nope - heard a variation that I thought happened before they got McDD.
At least the engines have been updated. When I first heard 707 I was thinking turbojets.
How about training?
Sounds like just some basic enroute holding.
Standard holding patterns are right turns.
“The E-6 and the E-4 are going on 35 years old.”
For Tacamo, it’s not the airframe that matters. Just need something big enough for the generators and the transmitter. And the antenna reel.
We used to fly the EC-130Q.
And you are correct, if it was performing it’s mission we’d all likely be dead by now.
Training and/or transit. They have to keep moving. Can’t be in one place too long. It’s likely the #1 strategic target in the world.
We were always told if we ever light ‘er off for real, we had 20mins to live.

A little light, doomsday reading for you Saturday morning.

Amen. I am ready for the Aliens to be broadcast LIVE on CNN. But if this passes for “journalism”, they would be better served cleaning my 5 bedroom house and 3 toilets.
When I went through air traffic control school I was taught, since the pilot sits on the left side of the aircraft, standard turns in a traffic pattern were to the left so the pilot can keep the airport in sight. Conversely, standard turns in a holding pattern were to the right so the pilot could see the airspace outside of the holding pattern. I’ve put many aircraft into a holding pattern and the few times I required the aircraft to make left turns I had to state “left turns” in the holding clearance. Absent any instructions the pilot will make right turns. source FAAO 7110.65W, para 4-6-4e.
I know, but I always liked left turns, (and often request them if terrain or other traffic is not an issue) so I can “see where I’m going” especially if we are on an IFR flight plan, but holding below FL 180 in VFR.
