Anyone flown over something/seen something they feel they shouldn't have?

If it was in the NAS, he'd be squawking.

I have a friend that works in a Class C airport. One day there was a F117 nearby that was not squawking. It was a few years ago when he was able to tune/de tune the radar antenna so that it could be very sensitive. Anyways he worked and worked and was still unable to see the F117. The F117 gave position reports, but never squawked. All of course on the UHF....
 
One of the 'known' CIA shell companies is Pegasus International, who own Reynolds Air Park. The part of the internet with a heavy exposure to chemtrails is full of pictures of thousands of 'UN trucks' parked on the runways there. In reality it was used as storage for a car importer.
 
I saw a flight of B2s refueling. ATC pointed them out to us. No biggie.

Also flew right over the airport at area 51 when I was a lifeguard flight.

Middle of the night didn't see much, other than the airport beacon....
 
Just a few chemtrailz here and there, no biggie.

I've seen air force one a few times, I did my ppl out of the airport it parked at when Bush was in Crawford. And one time I was taking a test when the area was supposed to be somewhat secure, no one told me and secret service wasn't too happy I was there. Someone forgot to tell them I was in the building taking an exam.

In the F-117 when we flew stateside, we had radar reflectors bolted onto the fuselage so we could be seen by ATC if our IFF ever went inop. Where they were located on the fuselage, there were times where they could be masked by the airframe and not seen by ATC radar, but we carried them for just that reason. In combat, they would be removed. Ive had my IFF fail a few times, and ATC just had be do position reports at my turnpoints since even though I was tooling around in Class A airspace, ARTCC knew exactly where I was going as they already had VORTAC radial/DME for each of my turnpoints.

That may be the official line, but I had a C-130 almost run me over that ATC swore they didn't know about. Maybe ATC lied...

I meant the B-2s and other stealth-type aircraft. When people say "they weren't showing on radar" or such.

Interesting.

XTA doesn't normally run a beacon. And 4808 is always active.
 
It was 2am or so. I could have been looking at the wrong thing. I was referencing LAS to determine my position. I should have said I flew right over what "I thought" was area 51...

It was 2 whites and one green so at least I was looking at a military field...

We were lifeguard and it was the dead of night?

Tonopah Test Range airfield maybe?

Not sure where that is Mike. If anything it could have been Creech. However it was an military beacon in the middle of the inky black darkness of the desert. No roads or traffic anywhere around it...

Hey squadronmate

Hey squadronmate, you hear they are disestablishing VQ-2 :(

Were you in Morocco or Spain?

NS Rota ...arrived there fresh out of AQ(F) A School, very shortly after the squadron moved up from Morocco ...IIRC, was cleaning the enlisted head topside in the hangar ...awaiting "orders" into the electronics shop ...my first tour in the First Lt's Div (quite routine) ...had been aboard for a bit when the P4 went in 01/19/60 ...had worked with the highlighted below:

CREWNAMES: KILLED: (16) LCDR Franklin B. Moore, Pilot. LCDR Warren J. Hampton, Pilot. LT Thomas H. Edgerton, Nav. LTJG Donald C. Mcintyre, Eval. LTJG Robert E. Ogden, Eval. AD1 Joseph A. Cote, P/C. AN Billy C. Sullivan, 2nd Mech. AT1 Marvin A. Radtke, Radio Op. ATC John M. Boling, Radar Op. AE1 Murphy J. Martinez Jr. F/E. AM3 Rex H. Gregory, Flight Structural Mech. AO2 Richard C. Nuzum, Flight Ord. AT2 John M. Criswell, ECM Op. AT3 Francis E. Tomkowski, ECM Op. AQ2 Richard D. Crittenden, ECM Op, AT2 Harold L. Berg, ECM Op.

Could easily have been aboard ...wasn't quite qualified to go "up the road" yet!!
 
TTR (KTNX) is far NW of Creech up Hwy 95. TTR is truely in the middle of nowhere. Creech has the tiny town of Indian Springs next to it, which can be unnoticable. Coming from the NW from Tahoe or Carson City, it's plausible you could see TTR in the distance, but you can fly right next to KINS.

Either way, they all have that equally creepy look to them, being in the middle of nowhere! :)

Hi Daf ...just about thirty years ago now ...the infamous Diamond Crash ...at Indian Springs.
Glanced out the cockpit window on a LAS - SFO UAL flight shortly thereafter...staring right down at the four dark streaks on or next to the runway. :(
