odd times, military flights near Syracuse NY | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 21982181 United States 08/23/2012 09:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | live in Upstate New York, home of the renamed 174th National Guard ATTACK Squadron (formerly "fighter wing") Yes we've become used to the drones at all hours - drones from here are used in Afghanistan, Pakistan etc. They are actually CONTROLLED from Syracuse and are seen for miles around. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21982181 But that's not all. We've been inundated with KC-10's - large refueling planes for 3 months. Usually CNY'ers are warned about late night aircraft, training etc. The TV news even said they were surprised we have not been notified ONCE of any of this odd activity in order to alleviate citizens calls to 911 etc. I finally borrowed somebody's camera and took my OWN video today, a few miles from Syracuse, these keep going over. Sound is pretty weird too. Will upload my video shortly. Here is another site I found about these planes: [link to howtoflyaplanenow.com] It's not just KC-19's. Been seeing all sorts of aircraft that we've never seen before, and we've seen plenty. Also road convoys on the increase. I meant KC-10's above. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 21982181 United States 08/23/2012 10:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Okay, here's my video from today. I don't know how many of these there were, never saw two at the same time, but did see one pass waaaay too close to a passenger jet. Noise was deep and powerful. Hey my first video so give me credit for that! LOL [link to vimeo.com (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1369739 United States 08/24/2012 08:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Visitors to the New York State Fair can get a look at the type of equipment American pilots based near the Syracuse-area fairgrounds are using to fly drone aircraft above the skies of Afghanistan. i.e. They can sit in a mock drone and simulate hunting down humans.
