Any chem trails behind it?As fate would have it I saw a grey, unmarked two engine cargo-looking jet today about 10:15 making a westerly turn near downtown, it was low and slow.

Yes! That’s it!As fate would have it I saw a grey, unmarked two engine cargo-looking jet today about 10:15 making a westerly turn near downtown, it was low and slow.
Obligatory...Could it be a hurricane hunter hercules? NOAA and the AF have planes dedicated to weather. Hercules sounds like it fits the bill.
Nevermind. Reread the thread and he said 2 engine, non military. Where the one I posted is a modified c130.Could it be a hurricane hunter hercules? NOAA and the AF have planes dedicated to weather. Hercules sounds like it fits the bill.
No sir not like that either, it’s like a grayed out Airbus.Nevermind. Reread the thread and he said 2 engine, non military. Where the one I posted is a modified c130.
Maybe a State Dept plane or NOAA/NWS plane? I'm friends with a guy that's a contracted mechanic here at PAFB and he does work solely on State Dept helos. Says the feds (state/commerce/etc) have all sorts of planes in their arsenal you wouldn't expect.
Like dis?No sir not like that either, it’s like a grayed out Airbus.
Dats the closest to being it that I’ve seen. But the fuselage is longer on the one flying over Tally...Like dis?
Could potentially be that top one but I swear the one that flies over has windows like a commercial airliner but no other markings.P-8 Poseidon?
VP-16, nicknamed the War Eagles, is an active Patrol Squadron of the U.S. Navy. It has been based at NAS Jacksonville, Florida since its founding in 1946. The squadron's mission is to operate Maritime patrol aircraft to the fleet in support of national interests.
Well the p8 is actually a 737, so maybe the gubment bought a used on and in the process of retrofitting or testing it out. You really need to get a pic of this.Could potentially be that top one but I swear the one that flies over has windows like a commercial airliner but no other markings.
This looks similar to what I have seen over Southwood.P-8 Poseidon?

I'm guessing the plane has been doing practice runs at the AP. Touch and go/takeoff to the south or east, take a sweeping turn over town at 2,000 or 3,000 feet then back to the AP. But why TLH?Could potentially be that top one but I swear the one that flies over has windows like a commercial airliner but no other markings.
I will ASAP, got me a new camera to do so.Well the p8 is actually a 737, so maybe the gubment bought a used on and in the process of retrofitting or testing it out. You really need to get a pic of this.
I’ve never seen it on the “normal path” commercial jets use on landing approaches. And most of the time it’s flying low and headed east sorta hugging I-10. We’re gonna get to the bottom of this lol....I'm guessing the plane has been doing practice runs at the AP.

Unfortunately it is not military from the looks of it. In general I know my planes/jets and this appears commercial, but not lol. It’s strange to me.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.The one flying low over Tally earlier today was a Navy plane. I only know that because it flew right over me and it said "Navy" on the belly. I'm guessing it was a training exercise as it was flying very low and banking near the Capitol and Turlington buildings. It definitely got peoples attention.
I'd rather talk about airplanes.Whew now that this mystery has been solved, can we please get back to the best apples to eat? /sarcasm
I'd rather talk about airplanes.
Just did a search and couldn't find anything current on it. I would imagine it's for many varied missions.Ok, so why is the B-21 “optionally manned” as opposed to either a true UAV or a normal airplane?

This was a “plane” though right? I’m talking a LARGE, wide body jet.The one flying low over Tally earlier today was a Navy plane.

Don't know what this is about, but me likely.
Yikes!Colonel Angus joke about a woman named Fiona Apple.
But that Apple is now rotten, she did NOT hold up like a lot of celebrity women.
Yikes!
