Russian Aircraft spotted at USAF base!!! Red Alert!

So what?

Maybe they're there to recover the sub-circuit board from the bottom of the ocean before it's damaged by the salt-water!

delivering caviar and vodka

And strippers - don't forget the strippers!

the reason is we have purchased a few of them from the russians.they are huge transport planes that can carry alot of cargo and fast

Uh... maybe they were coming/going to an airshow.

Update:

Just 15 min after the AN-124 landed a USAF C5-a took off in the direction the Russians came from, the south. Now I've worked in this area a long time and NEVER seen one of our planes take off to the south, and there is no wind today. Also, this is a civilian version of the AN-124, painted white and blue, I know they land at civilian airports at times (rarely) with cargo but why land at a US military base? Did they have a delivery for the C5 which was in such a hurry that it didnot even have time to take off to the north and turn around to the south, it just took off to the south directly????

We have been training with the Russians since the end of the cold war. It is very common to have them on US bases.

Its not an invasion.

Russians are making cocaine from cuban sugar by nitrification ..
after AK 47s what you think they will sell to US CIA mafia lords..

lord of war

??????

formula please

No air show in area. No reason for them to be here. No reason for our C5 to bolt outta here like a bat outta hell....

Something is up for this week, Memorial day is nigh.

YEAH RIGHT... GLP GETS DOZENS OF THESE THREADS EVERY WEEK! I WORK NEAR AN AIRFORCE BASE AND BLAH BLAH...I KNOW THIS GUY WHO__FILL IN THE BLANK...

I SAW MY JEWISH NEIGHBORS PACKING THEIR CARS AND WHEN I ASKED THEM WHERE THEY WERE GOING THEY HAD A FEARFUL LOOK ON THERIR FACE LMAO , BUZZ OFF

10 min ago the AN-124 took off to the south. So that gives it what, 45 min to unload/load?? Why? No other aircraft have taken off or have been seen flying this morning.

And yeah, I read GLP all the time and see the ruitcakes post all kinds of crap but this is just what I've seen. I don't know what to make of it but it seems really weird.

One of world's largest planes at Meadows Field Airport

BAKERSFIELD - One of the world’s largest planes landed at Meadows Field Thursday.
The Russian-built AN124 Ruslan is the world’s largest and highest flying cargo capacity aircraft in production.

It’s designed for long-range deliveries, including air drops of large cargo items like machines, equipment, and troops.

Another cool feature, the nose of the plane opens upward to reveal the front cargo hatch, and there is a cargo hatch in the rear fuselage.

You can see the craft up close at Meadows Field where it will be on display from 7 p.m. until 11 a.m. Friday.


Nothing to see here folks, keep moving./

Heck no big deal I have pictures I took of that huge one which the whole nose part opened up. Thats been almost a dozen years ago. They were hauling a local logging outfit over to harvest Russian lumber. Ended up a bad deal Russian lumber was deficient, full of bugs, not good wood.

A little bit of info for ye <g>

I'm not in Bakersfield, I'm in Perris, ca. Just south of San Bernardino. 200 miles from Bakersfield.

If you had any sense you would know Russian cops are just like American cops and Russian AF pilots are just like American AF pilots. Whats the deal when Russian planes land at American bases?

These planes are used by Boeing to deliver wing and fuselage components for the Boeing 787 dreamliner.

These cargo planes land monthly at Tulsa,Ok for the Spirit Aircraft Co. which is building wing components.

There are a contingent of russians working in Tulsa on the composite fabrications.

Sorry, no conspiracy fellows.

Now if a Russian plane landed and a bunch of Russian Commandos jumped out and sprayed the strip with weapons fire, then you might have a case.

These big birds use lots of fuel. Every minute on the ground taxiing, or in the alr costs money.

The reason planes usually take off and land into the wind is to reduce the time from land speed to flight speed. If there is no wind, and no air traffic, it does not matter which direction they take off and land, so the shortest distance from terminal to end of runway is best plus if the takeoff run is in the direction you wish to go, it also saves fuel over having to make a big circle.


Peace

If we do not learn to live together, we will die together.

How does this explain what was seen today and why?

and thread was pinned becuse.....

I realize that they land at CIVILIAN airports. But why MILITARY airports????? And why stay only 45min?? Not for fuel because they took off the way the came in. It has to be a delivery or pick up of something.

An-124 is NOT military.

Biggest commercial heavy lift aircraft on the planet.

Red alert?

lol

Which shows what a complete lack of knowledge combined with clinical paranoia can lead to.

The An 124 aircraft is hired by many private companies to transport large payloads around the world. Perfectly above boiard, legal, and not fear inspiring at all, unless you are totally ignorant of civil aviation.

Shoot, at an airport less than 10 miles from my home are two MiG 21s, half a dozen Mif 15s and 17s, and about a dozen L-39s.

ALL in private hands.

Yup, you might even see the occasional Bear Bomber do an overfly of your city:

[link to www.barksdale.af.mil]

"The base turned its attention from combat to more peaceful pursuits when two B-52s, a KC-10 and their crews visited Dyagilevo Air Base, Russia , in March 1992. In May 1992 Barksdale hosted a return visit by two Russian Tu-95 "Bear" bombers, an An-124 "Condor" transport and 58 Russian airmen. The Russians stayed for six days, seeing a slice of America and participating in Strategic Air Command's final Bombing and Navigation Competition awards symposium. The Russians visited again in August 1994, bringing a Tu-95 "Bear" and an I1-78 aerial tanker."

hey put it together with the 40 foreign cops and you might have somethin

Thanks, OP, for posting this, and all of you others who added to our knowledge. We learned something today.

It is puzzling, though, that if there are strained ties again between the U.S. and Russia, why permit a Russian aircraft to land at a MILITARY base? Cold war, my butt.

There isn't enough military left in the U.S. to put down an open rebellion, so the solution is to hire mercenaries from other countries under the guise of UN troops.
