DOOMSDAY TYPE PLANE(S) AND CHOPPER ACTIVITY NEAR AIRBASE

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, I SAW A LARGE CHOPPER HOVERING AND MAKING STRANGE MANUEVERS FOR ABOUT 30 MINS. ONCE HOME, I SAW ATLEAST 3 DIFFERANT DOOMSDAY-TYPE AIRCRAFT FLYING VERY LOW AND CIRCLING FOR ATLEAST AN HOUR. I HAVE LIVED IN THIS AREA NEAR THE AIRFORCE BASE FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF PLANE OR CHOPPER AROUND HERE. WHY ALL THE RECENT MILITARY ACTIVITY??? WHAT ARE THEY TRAINING FOR???? PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS WITH YOUR OPINIONS!!!

Check out the Orb or Scout Craft at 7:14

From the way he's all "dirtied up", kind of looks like he's shooting approaches/touch and go landings. That plane is the 707 airframe version. Back in the day, when I dealt with the USN's TACAMO(Take Charge And Move Out), they used C-130's. I was a 'boomer' RM (SSBN RadioMan) and those planes had a one mile or so trailing wire antenna. They'd fly in a bank and the antenna would spiral down. Used for emergency communications.

that would be the Naval E-6 TACAMO

look to me like there remote controlled drone planes or something this is very odd anyway flying so low down very dangerious activity

nice video...but i'm nut quiet sure if this is a socalled doomsday plane...

[shiningkarma]

A/C is E-6 from Navy and chopper is CH-47. From what I analysed A/C is the same all the times, not three different A/Cs.

this is not a 747... and also not an E4B like the one on 9/11...it has no stripe and the pod is on the middle opposed to theoneon the 747 which is above the upper flight deck

I've seen this (type of) plane once around here too doing the exact same thing...from what I understand this approach is called 'the option', where the pilots can practice either a touch-n-go, a stop-n-go, a fly-by, etc-their choice. Military pilots probably practice more than anyone else. Nice vid. Where is this?
