Just had 5 or 6 kc135? Transport planes fly over my house.

KC135 is an aerial refueling tanker, NOT a transport, dumbass.

Sounds like C-130s...what base? KC135s don't have props...

Thus the question mark after the 135 in the title. I was not sure. Btw wiki says air refueling and transport for the kc135.

Last week, I saw 10 C 130's flying over the house in formation and it was strange then. I have never before seen that. They are out of the Jacksonville AFB, Arkansas.

I think you are right, I looked up pics and that's what they looked like. I guess I am a "dumbass" like the person above said.

Pics or GTFO

Possibly practicing. The AF does that now and then.

A few years back was camping down in a river gorge in the eastern US and in the middle of the night woke up to a very very loud jet just overhead. By overhead I mean 100' overhead!! ONLY about 120' above the small river. Middle of the night with no moon!! Dark as shit. C-17

The gorge was only about 400 feet deep and he was in a very very NARROW winding valley that was only about 4-5 wing lengths wide in most of the gorge ...

Heard him make several turns and then pour on the kerosene so he could pull the plane up and over the Interstate bridge about 4 miles up the valley, bet he only cleared it by 100' or so since as soon as he had his altitude he pulled WAY back on the throttles and probably descended back down into the valley again.

Obviously he was practicing doing a midnight run down a very narrow winding valley WAY BELOW the side hills for some reason. Can't believe he didn't run that big transport into the side of the narrow winding valley.

For me on the ground it was dam scary looking up at his belly just above the tree tops as he started his next STEEP turn with no more than 100' of altitude !! (the tallest trees were about 75' high and he was almost clipping their tops)

For those 50 F-15's

Had the same group come over Arkansas. There were about 10 I think. I stopped and took pics.

Probably training, it was nuts though. A road working crew stopped what they were doing and just stared also. It was like an air show.
