Looks like military aircraft including a KC-135 Stratotanker from Gilroy, EA-18 Growler, Beech 300 Super King from Hueneme, Beech C-12 from Santa Maria , and helicopters are having large exercises off Vandenberg and San Miguel Island.
What’s up?
Noticed that a year or two ago. Ospreys almost every day. Tankers all the time. If you watch the adsb exchance site, you can see all kinds of crazy training in the channel, refuels, search and rescues, fighter jets, etc.
Getting ready for the “alien invasion” all the libs are worried about xD
SBSTONER – congrats on politicizing extra terrestrials. But do tell…. wth are you taking about?
SBTONER – way to somehow politicize extra terrestrials….. But seriously, what the heck are you talking about?
Weird… looked like my comment was deleted. Sorry for the duplicate!
With regards to your question, it seems every person I’ve talked to who is aligned with the left thinks the aliens are coming. Anyone not so aligned says the testimony speaks to advances in military craft.
Perhaps you should seek out some intelligent conversations.
And you’ve spoken to everyone so it must be true.
tankers are likely in support for what appears to be for refueling of fighters for air-to-air training off SD coast including some Kfir and Hawker hunters from ATAC.
Also, Summer and with likely very clear skies I will just think, normal training with good conditions. I check ADS-B almost daily, pick any day, and it can be different trainings. Last week was E-3 Sentry with E-2C hawkeye (one up there right now) and P-8 Poseidon.
Practice, practice, practice…
Also may be training just for Miramar Airshow in a month…
Just zoomed out E-3 off Monterey. Doing “race tracks”
Big air show in Camarillo this weekend. Lots of noise coming out of Mugu Air Base this week. https://wingsovercamarillo.com/
I’m convinced the V-22 Osprey is the answer to a bet over whether they could make a helicopter even louder than a Huey. 😉
Still nothing like the whump-whump-whump of the original UH-1.
