Anybody else notice increased activity levels in their area ?
Occasionaly, we will see a 'copter or two fly overhead maybe once a month or so... Sometimes a few A10's will fly over. A few days ago, I saw a small convoy of Hummers with rocket launchers drive by... and today my wife tells me she's been hearing 'copters overhead all day long.... It's probably nothing, but I just wondered if this was going on anywhere else. The activity has increased enough to catch our attention.... I'm starting to wonder if something big is going on.

I have seen an unusual number of MH-47's in my area lately. I never recall seeing any prior to this past November.
Otherwise, I haven't seen anything unusual. |

I've been seeing more military choppers in the sky. Even saw an Apache hoving over I-64 at about 50 ft. (about 6 mos. ago)
Just the other day, I saw another Apache flying a big slow circle over Louisville. |

For the last month, we have been having Blackhawks & UH 53's flying aroung during the day. Also have seen a couple of Apache's. The last two nights, it has been jets flying past midnight. Hope they are praticing to kick ass somewhere!

Does it have anything to do with the new church you founded, the buried busses in the backyard, or the 137 boxes from AR15parts.com and the copy of "how to convert your AR to an M60 by filing down the hammer" by I. B. Felon the UPS dropped off last week?

We had a C-5 land in Idaho Falls the other day at our small airport, but I think it was Cheney's helicopter inside to fly him over to Wilson, Wyo.

I saw what I think was an F-18 the other day, doing some fairly low level passes directly over our downtown area. That's the first time I've seen one using our town for a training area.

Could be National Guard or reserve unit activity. Convoy ops and recon exercises can be carried out in cities. Sometimes that is the best place to practice them.
It would also explain military aircraft flying around near your neighborhood, especially if you don't live near a base. |

We KC-135 tankers, F-15c, F-15d eagles, and F-16's flying around alot lately at night. The reason I know what type of jets they is because you can see then just as the dun goes down. And all jets are armed with missles.

You near NAS Willow Grove? We fly a lot of trainers at regional airfields like Allentown, Pottstown, Harrisburg. And the A-10's are most likely the 111th based at the same base. |

Don't worry. Just accidental border crossings by Mexican military. Make a tactical relocation to the rear and do not engage. Observe and report.

They're finally coming to put us in the FEMA camps. Expect a "natural disaster" followed by the ILLUMINATI sock-puppet BUSH declaring martial law. The UN troops assisted by Halliburton contractors will use our bodies to fuel the New World Order. The pyramid on the back of the dollar bill told me this!

I live outside of Reading, and work in Pottstown.... Maybe that explains it... I was just surprised at how much air traffic has been going on in the area... Ft Indiantown Gap is the closest reserve base I'm aware of... Maybe they're flying out of there, headed to Willow Grove. It's hard not to notice them since they shake the house and rattle the windows every time they fly overhead. Makes me proud to see my tax dollars well spent on such badass stuff once in awhile.

I'm about 20 miles from Ft. Campbell, KY (101st). Since more of the folks have returned from Iraq this past fall things are starting to get back to normal. Lots of choppers in the air - and they've fired the hell out of training artillery every night this past week.

Nothing for you to concern yourself about. BTW, when you get to Gitmo be sure to ask for the Martyr Suite. You get extra pillows.

We've been seeing a lot of activity too!
And not just US, there have been British and French fighters, cargo planes with all sorts of strange markings, helicopters (even Hinds!!). Plus the roads are filled with troops in all manner of vehicles. Even tanks. And the troops ain't all American!!! There's Brits and Canadians, Germans, Dutch, Turks, Romanians, Bulgarians, Estonians, Jordanians, French, and some I can't even identify. Somethings DEFINEATELY going on. |

The enemy loves how much sensetive information they can find on the internet, they dont even need to put some dude at the end of the runway to watch the planes take off anymore...

Umm.. OK... And how is my thread sensitive info ? The media in our country broadcasts more sensitive info in a single newscast than I could in a lifetime. Some of you guys are wrapped a little too tight. Personally, I'd like to see MORE activity on a daily basis, and regular overflights of military hardware... Maybe even a few teams of soldiers and gear every few miles to let us lowly citizens know we still have a few troops at home to secure THIS side of the pond. Only complication would be that I'd want to stop and shake hands of every one of them...thanking them for serving the country. |

Lots of helicopters around here at night, coupled with the fact that we keep finding eviscerated cattle all over the back pasture makes me wonder what is up.
I had to get up twice from the fake moon landing expose' on television to shut the windows to drown out the noise. That and the Kroger has NO tinfoil in stock right now has me worried.

I didn't know they had training missles, I always thought they were the real deal. Then again, I don't keep up with the military all that much. Just know what modern jets are what. |

If you see a fighter flying around here at home and you see any ordnance on it, most likely it is inert. The way you tell inert from live stuff is the inert will have blue band or be painted entirely blue and live stuff will have yellow and brown bands painted it. Inert AIM-9 and Mk-84s in this picture.  This F-15 is carrying live missiles. The yellow band means it has a live warhead and the brown band means it has a live rocket motor.  Inert AIM-9 but live Mk-82s on this lawn dart.  |
