Mysterious Military Flyover Above Manhattan Was A Trump "Emergency Relocation Drill"

One week ago, New Yorkers were captivated, and unnerved, by a 40-minute long military exercise in which one USAF C-130 and several HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopters could be seen circling at very low altitudes above Manhattan. While the US military kept silent about the overflight, U.S. Air Force Col. Nicholas Broccoli, the vice commander of the Air National Guard’s 106th Rescue Wing, said the aircraft were conducting "standard military training." However, one look at the flight pattern of the plane shows there was seemingly little that was "standard" about a C-130

(snip)

Today we learn that the overflights were far more than simply "standard military training." According to DNAinfo, the military airplane and two helicopters doing loops over Midtown last week were conducting an “emergency relocation” planning mission in case they needed to extract President-elect Donald Trump during an emergency or attack.

Citing sources, DNAInfo said that the flyovers were part of an “emergency relocation drill” designed to identify locations, primarily in Central Park, where a chopper could touch down near Trump's home inside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and 56th Street, and safely evacuate Trump and others from the city.

That’s what many here had figured.

I worked at Rock Plaza and know where Trump tower is. It’s closer to Central Park but there are 50,000 cabs on the road.

There’s no such thing as a quick trip in NYC.

For those who do not know, Tyler Durden is a fictitious
character from a Brad Pitt movie.

And a moniker shared by at least 3 different writers at Zero Hedge.

Trump was smart enough to put up blockades around Trump Tower on day one.

Angela Merkel should hang her head in shame.

Ah, thanks for that info. Now I will be a lot more skeptical since some past articles were good and some were not.

I can understand the people of New York being worried...

I was at Sloan Kettering a week after 9/11 and if a horn honked, people would jump...they have reasons to fear something like this...

And not to long after 9/11 they had another plane crash so I understand them...

Everyone notices unusual movement.

Should it be reported ? Probably not

Reported by observers yes, but someone gave up an explanation.
