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!

don't know about that but there was another fly over today by the NG... unlike the last I heard them but  didn't see them

KC135 Stratotanker aircraft and some F16s.

Eh - completely avoided the New Brunswick area with their hospitals... 

The big question is was there any waving as they went past? The Governor may need to have words...

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.

From my deck today

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

108th is KC135s. 177th is F16s.

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.   

Did some one just confuse my gentle ribbing with being offended? Have a Milkyway  and shove it.

Crock pot ribbing?

Actually I've made them Sous Vide. 20-24 hours @150 and then a couple of minute on the grill to brown them up. Amazing

Crock pot?

I am missing something....   I thought the 135 was a military kero carrying 707?  Does it slow cook too?

And I heard them but couldn’t see them.  Beautiful sound.

There aren't really "appreciate healthcare people" flights. They are planning routes for the strafing runs when it all goes bad. 

Indeed....
