Quoted: Kfirs and Spark-Varks? Tornados? Typhoons and Tornados at Davis-Monthan |
|
OK, I'm lost. |

Kfirs and Spark-Varks? Tornados? Looks like Typhoons and Ternaders to me |

the image dated 8/19/2011 surprises me. There weren't many people at work that day in the Boeing plant. Parking lots are pretty empty. yeah...I was wondering about that myself...but it was a Saturday..fly days are Sat and Sun only the date on the imagry has to be wrong. 8/19 was a Friday. Looking at the Renton Plant imagery with the same date stamp, its a friggin ghost town. |
