odd times, military flights near Syracuse NY
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.

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:

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.

yes, I found that today. That is when it was really shocking - people getting used to it now. I don't know that guy and found the link accidentally.

My video is from today but I'm a novice about uploading and thought I'd have it by now.

yeah I know, this one is from May, but still proves people have been seeing these things up here and aren't used to them.

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

I didn't get the whole "we don't embed Vimeo" thing. Anyone got any other suggestions?

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.

Rather macabre don't you think?

Re: odd times, military flights near Syracuse NY
Next day after I posted this I got footage of yet ANOTHER military convoy. Cept I can't get it off my phone. So you'll have to take my word for it. I was in a convoy on the way to work, then two hours later ran to the store for some allergy meds and surprise! Another convoy! The first one was green the second was tan, if anybody knows the difference I'd be interested to know. Some of them had the red cross on the side.
