🚨 I wanted to try my hand at a light #AvGeek thread so I will take a look at N226G's latest sortie from Aug 9-13, 2024. What secrets does it hold? Let’s break it down. 🧵 📸: 𝙎𝙍_𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧

How does one (Alec Stapp) use data without proper context? 1️⃣ Firefighters may fight fewer fires, but building construction has changed making them more dangerous and larger fire loads. Plus we haul and have more Hazardous Material in our lives than ever before. 2️⃣ We are hiring

Well deserved award for this crew.

UPDATE: At least 2 police officers shot while serving warrant in the 300 block of North Normal Street in Macomb, Illinois; no active threat to the community at this time. (H/t Reece)

No. He was visited and questioned by the Jackson Co Sheriffs Office, not the FBI.

This is awesome for the OSINT community. Can’t wait to see the first photos it produces!

But, but, but… Presidents have power to declassify anything they want, anytime they want, even just by thinking about it, or so I’m told. 🤣🤣🤣

The US Navy cruiser is being replaced by the Flight III Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers (DDG). Notably a Flight IIA DDG, the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG-121), is serving the USS Abraham Lincoln CSG in the cruiser role as integrated air & missile defense.

Great piece from Tim Farmer on the Mirage F1 in Lockeed’s F-35 test flight program!

That’s a badass shot of the Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer USS Shoup (DDG-86)!

The other VC-25A #ADFDF9 as AIR FORCE ONE is up from LaCrosse, WI en route JB Andrews.

US Air Force C-17A Globemaster III #AE4F12 as RCH3125 flew into Ramstein AB, Germany from JB Andrews, MD. This follows SecDef's arrival earlier today. 4 digit RCH flights are generally associated with high priority missions. This is likely a support flight for the SecDef.

Confirmed. Not sure of the exact timing, but expect mid to late morning. I hear they’ll do a couple passes. No touch & go’s due to passengers aboard The aircraft commander is a good dude. Flew with him multiple times & I’m glad he got the honor of the last landing

A phone number to copy for a possible pilot deviation is never a good thing, especially when it’s in reference to unauthorized entry into a prohibited area.
