πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Omni Air Int'l #OAI discrete livery 767 #N423AX #A506DA flew today as #STATE80, a State Dept ( maybe CIA? πŸ€”) callsign into Northern Iraq. This bird flies between hotspots of intrigue; Bulgaria, Malta, Erbil Northern Iraq, Washington DC...

How are these places related? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
#N423AX has the most suspicious pattern of life for an aircraft I can remember.

It ONLY flies regularly+infrequently, to these hotspots:

✠ Sofia, Bulgaria
✠ Malta
✠ Amman, Jordan
✠ Erbil, Iraq
✠ Washington, DC

It doesn't fly anywhere else; hasn't in months, I checked. πŸ•΅οΈ
Part of the larger Omni fleet, often seen flying under gov't contracts.

Looking at another plane in the Omni fleet, same discrete livery; they also seem to have the same pattern of movement. Exclusive to the region. πŸ€”

#N441AX #A54E6A

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²β˜’οΈ Nuclear-capable #USAF F-15E Strike Eagles, from Seymour Johnson AFB, NC πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² have been forward-deployed to Romania πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄.

The Legacy of the 335th Fighter Squadron shows they've been involved in expeditionary ground-attack rolls for decades, not so much combat air patrols. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
Don't just take MY word for it. πŸ‘‡

"...the mission of the 335th Fighter Squadron is to be prepared to deploy anywhere in the world on short notice and deliver an array of air-to-ground weapons with pinpoint accuracy."

I'm not sure how many of the #USAF 335th's 24 F-15E Strike Eagles were forward-deployed to #Romania.

"The squadron is currently authorized 24 F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft and approximately 360 officer and enlisted personnel."

Update: Yes the RAF QRA fighters did launch AND intercept the Tu-160s before they turned around.

FYI, @Reuters has not yet made the required corrections to their article that would make it truthful and accurate. It was published over 24hrs ago, and syndicated worldwide, spreading their misinformation globally.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί On 2021-11-12 the Russian Air Force (#RuAF) made a long range aviation training sortie, which included 2x Tu-160 strategic bombers and tanker support, in international airspace.

Those are facts.
πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ In international airspace, they were shadowed by the Belgian Air Force.

Why hasn't @OttawaCitizen demanded an apology and retraction from @EarnscliffeCda yet? Their goon accused @davidpugliese, a well respected journalist, of being a Russian stooge. I assume @YaroslavB's unprofessional conduct is normal at Earnscliffe, representative of their work.
Louder for the ones in the back.

Funny thing, they're not just in the survey business, they do damage control. You'd want them engaged if you had an embarassing problem you wanted the media to sweep under the rug; like meeting with Nazis. Hey... πŸ€”

Did anyone mention he works for their Canadian federal team? If the Canadian government engaged them to sweep things under the rug, he's in a position to know that already. πŸ€”

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Why don't we make a list of the locations and planes so people can click a map and see where the plane or helicopter is they're looking to spot? We can do that. #CanadaRemembers 1/n
2/n This will also shows the @RCAF_ARC that the public can benefit from the #RCAF using Mode-S and ADS-B in Canadian domestic airspace, even if the rest of the country's antiquated infrastructure doesn't *need* it, we can use it, and they can do it, right now.

How many media organisations, alleged-journalists, and pundits, will display their ignorance by not looking up what an Air Defence Identification Zone #ADIZ is, and call it #Taiwan's airspace, which it is not.

Let's keep a running tab; I've dragged many of them previously.
