What's MUCH moar interdasting is the missing (inferred) flight from NGU to GITMO. Somewhere between 4/26 and 5/3 our contract bird had to go from Norfolk (DC ish area) to GITMO. Yet this flight is curiously absent from the listed manifest.
Wondering if these flights are being blanked to conceal how many sorties are actually going down there. Hmmm…
Also on a side note…JAX (to locals) i.e. Jacksonville zip codes all begin with 322 prefix…Skull and Bones. Jacksonville is named after Andrew Jackson…the last president to successfully take down the central bankers. No doubt they gave us their special number as an old school finger when the zips got passed out.
Additional aside: Jacksonville and thunderstorms go together like night and dark. Pretty much the majority of afternoons between May to Sep you can expect pop up t-storms…I know, I used to own a little flying business that spent hours a day doing traffic reports in this airspace. Yet, when was the last time you heard of a commercial jet having t-storm problems here? Not saying it couldn't happen…t-storms have every hazard known to aviation, but NAS Jax has LOTS of experience with them and how to space their takeoffs and landings around the wind fields. And it's only gotten better since I was bug smashing over it twice daily many years ago.
Oh, and it was a 737…remote fail much?
Could've been a typical mishap…but c'mon…a GITMO flight, in the DS enemy named city, typical wx for that city with a FL based plane, comp'd a/c model, … Smells funny as a mullet.
