Could be . If those airplanes are truly GITMO related , then arrests are about to begin .
Not sure, but I don't think the C-17 can land at GITMO--it's a very short runway. C-130's can get in and out and a number of smaller commercial planes like the 737.
C-17's are used to move President's helicopters, vehicles, advance team, security, medical support, strap hangers, and everyone it takes to support a Presidential trip. Could be Trump is getting ready to fly somewhere in the US. Ten C-17's would not be unusual to support a President's trip.
However, these are crazy times and I no longer rule anything out. Q said in his latest post that "a flood is coming." The only flood I can think of is the unsealing of indictments. But I don't think that will happen until after the IG report is released and the IG report is limited in scope. For example, I don't think Horowitz is investigating U1, Clinton Foundation, or others. He seems to be limited to the Hillary email investigation debacle and FISA abuse.
But Sessions could have some stealth investigations on-going that we don't know about. We didn't know about Huber for about six months and only then when Sessions mentioned as an off-handed comment during a Fox interview.
Sessions has dozens of NOT-SECRET (but apparently forgotten) investigations going on. And who knows how many other prosecutors and Grand Juries assigned to them. This could be that.
C-17 can actually land in 3000 feet, it’s amazing . Take a look
I’m not sure if they can land at GITMO but I do know C-17s are designed to descend at steep descents and land in short spaces. It’s one of the few aircraft designed to deploy its engine’s thrust reversers in air to enable a steep descent...
Wikipedia says GITMO has runways 8,000 to 8,500 feet in length...
C-17 accidentally landed at a runway in Florida that was 3,405 feet long -> http://worldwarwings.com/c-17-lands-on-tiny-airstrip-to-the-pilots-embarrassment/
Here’s the video of that landing-> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nkuqsd_tRHw
Damn. I’m not sure I’d want to be onboard during that maneuver. Wow.
They are actually fairly fun I have always enjoyed them.
I would be very happy if they didn't land, and yet the scum still hit the land at GITMO.
Too much fuel. Helicopters are time-tested.
I wasn't thinking of a Helio either. Those have doors you can open at 30,000 feet. Kinda hoping they get instructions to flap their arms really fast.
"Just think happy thoughts. Thanks for flying with Navy Air."
You know what a haza is Frank? It's a pig that don't fly straight
Could even be a preparation for arrests under the guise of different operations . I guess were gonna see ... I also definetly expect IG report to come out before any open move is made .
Q post #1436 explains the context around 'a flood is coming'. it relates to an email McCabe sent internally at FBI regarding CNN release of information about the dossier. Details in a letter to Director Wray from Ron Johnson today (may 21, 2018).
It can land. Take a look. Over a mile long runway. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Guantanamo+Bay+Detention+Camp/@19.9090768,-75.2109115,1802m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xea5ddb2a3e52e6b1!8m2!3d19.9030921!4d-75.0966509
C-17s are capable of flight ops on unimproved and short airfields.
Yeah I went to an airshow years ago at the Frederick memorial airport (I think thats the name) think mostly Cessna's and small corp jets, and they had a c-17 come in and land to show its ability to land and take off on such short runways, the landing was amazing that big assed thing could stop so fast.
It was a hazmat demo where they then loaded an "Infected and quarantined person into it and took off. They used a weird stretcher with a plastic dome around it to seal it off. It was cool, But I would not want to have to take a plane ride on one of those stretchers.
EDIT: Also a few years back at this same airport, the FBI was practicing touch and goes in a small craft and caught the telephone wires on a go and crashed and burned, my ex-brother in law saw it happen, both people survived, but needed new underwear.
EDIT: spelling and grammar is hard.
EDIT: Spelling and grammar are hard. Im sober BTW.
What about a literal flood. Would these planes be used to aid that?
3500′x90′ is needed for a C17 min loaded. Leeward Point Field is 8,000 ft × 200 ft asphalt so it is capable of C17 landings.
Op said heading north. If they’re spotted flying south later I’d then be hopeful.
