BREAKING: Biden Must Have Sanctioned the China Flight Over the US – Per Former RAF and Commercial Pilot
gateway pundit ^ | 2/3/2023 | joe hoft

The Biden team must have sanctioned China’s balloon flying over the US says a former RAF and commercial airline pilot who flew in and out of the US.

A former Royal Air Force pilot who flew Harrier jets and then flew hundreds of flights in and out of the US as a commercial pilot shared some breaking information with TGP.

The former RAF pilot shared the following:

At an absolute minimum, an object flying over the United States, a plane or balloon, has to file a flight plan.

In addition, at the absolute minimum, the object (plane or balloon) must have a transponder so that other flying objects know where it is and don’t crash into it.

Because of these two items, the FAA had to know that the China balloon spotted flying over the US was coming.

If the FAA did not know this then it is illegal and as President Trump recommends, it should be removed from US airspace immediately.

The balloon also can legally only fly in certain areas. It needs to be above the commercial airline space of approximately 50,000 feet.

There are lots of areas or zones in the US where a flying object cannot fly. Flying is prohibited over these areas.

This chart shows the definition of US airspace. The balloon must have a transponder, registration with NOTAM and filing a flight plan.

Good info. If the Administration is not going after it, now we understand why.

Everyone keeps referring to it as a “balloon” like it’s some kind of innocuous toy. The fact is its most likely a zeppelin type of airship/blimp with the ability to have a sizeable payload. Pretty hard to steer a balloon.

Sanctioned? Unlikely. Allowed?...turned a blind eye to? You betcha! Another example of an enemy of world peace and tranquility thumbing their nose at this weak...weak...weak President.

If the Taiwanese,South Koreans and Japanese were smart they'd be sweating buckets right now.

Could be filled with bioweapons that would only be released if shot down.....

Then China could claim we did it to ourselves.......

I suspect that the US is leaving the Chinese balloon alone because the US has space vehicles of some type over China and does not want them to be destroyed.

China does have anti satellite weapons.

Yes I know it's supposedly a spy balloon, but it's filled with something and I'd rather not wonder if it's another special Chinese pathogen or contaminant. Biden is pushing to compromise the US openly now.

“The posted.”

Can you convey this in English?

“Idea of that”

Can you convey that in English?

“is clearly an airliner contrail”

Why?

Hi tech baloons navigate by going up or down to find favorable currents.
