AC 130 and fighters

Recommended Posts

So I popped outside right about 11:45 today and saw an AC130 escorted by a fighter headed North, North west, roughly towards Stewart.

They were low and fairly fast, faster than most aircraft that are headed into or out of Teterboro which is about a 2.5 miles from me.  I am not suggesting they came from Teterboro, just using it as a comparison.

About a minute later, a pair of fighters went the same route and these were goosing it.   

I could not recognize the type of fighters, looked a bit like F22s but I don't know my planes.   I wonder if it was just a normal movement, but these were low and loud!

be nice if they cut that shit out, and just stopped oppressing everyone with this lockdown bullshit.

The airplanes are federal.  The lockdown is State.   Trump didn't lock us down, Governor woodchuck did that.

Did someone just confuse a KC135 with an AC130?  Because that would be like confusing a muzzle loader with an AR15.

Sorry Maverick. We all weren't door gunners on the Space Shuttle like you.

My comment wasn’t directed at you. As far as I know your first comment in this thread was to reply to me.

My comment WAS directed at you. The guy said he didn't know planes, but you had to belittle him with your FAR superior knowledge. How about being a little constructive instead of being a douche nozzle.

Have a Snickers, snowflake.  My analogy was apt and at worst gentle ribbing.  I don’t know why you’ve taken such offense but that’s on you.
