    Currently, one of the largest US military airlifts is in operation, consisting of massive fleets of C-130 Hercules gunships and gigantic C-17 Globemaster troop transport and war material aircraft suddenly taking flight.

    • It was unusually quiet Friday and he predicted something would be up very soon… the day before there was highly unusual activity around DC. Looks like it is a joint forces exercise scheduled for this time period.

    • Just took this off Monkeyz twitter page from a commenter. Could be possible:
      “Iran is arming Venezuela with military UAVs. 8 Iranian “oil tankers” are making their way to the South American country. No ones knows exactly what type of “oil” is in them. Missiles?”

    • There’s a pinned comment at the top of the YT page that seems really legit to me. It’s likely a training mission or FTX. People are extremely paranoid right now and looking for anything to be a sign of SOMETHING, which is honestly understandable. If this was a real world mission doing real world things, the civilian frequency transponders would be turned off on all birds and there would be escorts (fast movers), IMO.

      I remember when our team was part of a training exercise and we ripped through LA on the side of little birds and the internet went crazy thinking we’d taken down some sort of HVT. Reality is usually much less sexy.

      To be fair, so I don’t take any heat, I could be wrong. It just takes a lot more to get me worked up than some heavy transport birds conducting a short haul.
