Jumbo airliner with 5 jet fighters flew by

[bigbillyrocka]

So I'm sitting in my backyard watching the grass grow, enjoying the breeze when a Jumbo airliner with an escort(?) Of 5, possibly 6 (definitely at least 5 I counted, one looked just above it and would be a 6th) flew over head.

I've never seen that?

I've read about it/seen pictures and know that there are a few possibilities, one being terrorist threat assist or the President (but wasn't blue, all white and a touch of gray from ground view) or something else altogether.

The jets were flying EXTREMELY close! Crowding it in and out on both sides and as I mentioned 1 possibly above, unless a flap was out but no smoke.

Heading north east...

What do you think/know?

You know they refuel in air these days, right? They use jumbo jets as tankers.

(ooh, tornadoes even.)

Or it might be a coup.

I do know and did not see any fuel lines. 3 were to the left and 2 to the right. Staggered, not in a line.

Also, why refuel in the air when the Air Force Base is a 40 minute drive away?

Maybe the plane was being held hostage.

It's actually Hillary sending Obama all the lost Benghazi emails. And Trump's tax returns. Those are both being looked at in the Pentagon right now.

It's all Obama's fault.


Oh, shit, am I in the politics section?

Because they would have to land. That is not a small thing despite what you may seem to think.

They might not have been fueling yet. They don't just let the drogues dangle.

Airforce One is whatever plane the President is on, it's not a special plane.

There's definitely a plane named "Air Force One". It's a blue striped plane.

Training for the real deal close enough to an airport to land should something go wrong

I'd deff rip your grow down either way to be safe

They have more than one Air Force One

So, uh @bigbillyrocka , you live a few minutes away from an Air Force Base and this is the strangest thing you have ever seen? Do you not get out much?
