There is nothing out there big enough to land that. Salina KS has one of the longest runways in the US. It's an alternate site for shuttle landings or it used to be 12300 feet [link to www.fltplan.com] This was way South of Salina. It was in-line between Hutchison and Garden City when it disappeared. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 54424992 United States 02/16/2014 03:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NE OK ones were VTOL types. Very loud and very low. Way under the cloud deck. 3 of them in formation. Involved in or headed to a show? That is what my husband figured, but seems like they would be near a big city, not crossing low in podunk Oklahoma. its f16s based at tinker airbase, see them all the time. I said VTOL's - vertical take off and landing. F-16's are jet fighters. These looked like Osprey and were very low flying. Low enough that you could clearly see the VTOL props. never seen any ospreys operate over OK, only seen f16s and blackhawks so far. |

I was going to correct the typo- but figured someone else would be more than happy to, but since you didn't and only play on it- AIRFORCE not AIRFIRCE Better? No not really, I understood the typo, but what I am having a problem with is "not just a 'jet'". What are the Saudis traveling on if not a jet? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54332112 Looks like it took off from Philly, hit Kansas, and now turning around. Very strange! What is even stranger is that it was well after Hutchison when it blipped off the screen. Then nothing would pull up under the flight for quite some time. Now you can search again for the flight and it is headed in the opposite direction and the trajectory shows the turn back East well before Hutchison. Very fishy! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 54455999 South Korea 02/16/2014 03:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | true statement: I don't know anything about these jests being scrambled. I live near a very large AFB in the SW and have not seen or heard anything today. false statement: my uncle, an inside source, told me that the Russians were going to nuke the Saudi prince that played gold with Obama in Palm Springs on Valentine's Day. baseless speculation: perhaps a Russian high altitude bomber was shot down by US forces on the way to delivering it's nuke payload. The jests scrambled today were security for the prince as he returned to Saudi Arabia. Which will GLP believe: The truth or the lie and its subsequent speculation? |

Seems like an odd jet to have in an Air Force. Probably a modified luxury liner for one of the Princes. My husband says they are just flying over all the real estate and peons they are about to own - checking on what they are getting for their oil and dollars. :) "The A330-200 is the shorter-fuselage variant of Airbus’ A330 twin-engine widebody family, and has the versatility to cover all ranges from short-haul to true long-haul, with ideal sizing for point-to-point operations. Its optimised 222-inch fuselage cross-section – which is shared with the other members of Airbus’ A330/A340 Family – accommodates 253 passengers in a comfortable two-class cabin layout that provides more window and aisle seats in much quieter cabins. As a modern jetliner, the A330-200 accepts the latest in-flight entertainment, including video-on-demand, mobile telephone and e-mail via satellite." [link to www.airbus.com] |
