@refused215 It's not illegal to sit outside of a Air Force base and film airplanes coming in for a landing here in the US. Local cops may drop by to see what your doing if you sit there long enough, but as long as your out of the way and not bothering anyone it's perfectly fine. USAF Security Police know where people always sit and watch the planes and they can watch you from a distance without much fuss.

@bkban probably not, i know this for a fact, i work on that base

It is very versatile, has SIGINT capabilities, and is flexible in terms of deployment.

Despite our advanced spy satellites, stealth aircraft and UAVs, we still fly this thing.

I spotted today a very peculiar airplane that happend to look like a U2 but with twin rotor engines, it was overflying Mexico City it gave several turns, the civilian traffic was diverted, I could observe it. Do you happen to know what kind of reconaissance airplanes do the Mexican Air Force has? Wikipedia lists the Beechcraft King Air 90 but it doesn't look like the airplane I saw, I took video and I'm preparing it for Youtube.

As a recon plane it's brilliant - not sure if any current plane can intercept it? I know one was intercepted a long time ago in an exercise by a Lightning @ 88,000 ft but the Lightning is British and is no longer operational.
