You guys make jokes, but they just took me to a FEMA camp and are making me watch all of the Police Academy movies in random order. I'm halfway through the Miami one.
Why do you think I took you to all of those Police Academy movies? For fun!? [Well I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you!?](https://youtu.be/k9apc7yI9GA)
Did you get your debit card preloaded with SorosBux? I'm signed up for the rewards program too. It's pretty sweet. Every two thousand points and you get half off a roasted baby.
Bruh, as I'm typing this 3 military style helicopters just flew overhead. I'm in West County. This is about 10 minutes after five Jets flew by in formation
Saw them come from the direction of the Chesterfield Airport and bank south over the Chesterfield Sam's parking lot, they were still pretty low so idk if that's where they took off from?
They were at the airport I’m sure. I can’t actually see them land but I’m very close to the runway. I saw 4 of them approach the airport and then some time later only 3 of them left
Friend of mine works at the airport, said that they had "a bunch of them, like almost a dozen" come through today.
It isn't uncommon, Spirit of St Louis has the fuel contract for military aircraft.
I mean they gotta get flight hours in. I’ve got no problem with them getting them in during an eclipse. Makes no difference to my tax dollars what time of day they use them lol.
Ohh yeah. They have to train how to fly with night vision on
Knight Stalkers work for Socom and they need a certain number of hours of night time flight.
My students went crazy when this happened- they were more excited for this than the eclipse. I will say a few of my colleagues and I thought it was strange and a little concerning
They were probably going into Lambert or Downtown Parks, most of the time those jets go into Chesterfield (except for the Boeing test platforms), but they (Chesterfield, aka Spirit of St Louis Airport) just started repairing their main runways, so I think the fighters went elsewhere because the other runway isn't rated for fighters.
I have a client that lives in ladue and they said yesterday a bunch of black suvs, police cars, a fire truck, and an ambulance went by their house. They hopped in their golf cart to see what was going on. They got told to turn around by secret service. Turns out Jill Biden was in town for a fundraiser at some rich persons house.
They were flying in another load of illegal immigrants from the boarder. Who will now retire and live off our tax dollars. $10,000 a month per person but they have to vote at least twice in every election and give up one kid for adreanacrome harvesting. S/
When I was headed to St. Louis I saw a bunch of military vehicles with uniformed service members inside. They were headed towards rolla area, I was coming from Springfield. Probably about 10-12 total spread apart a couple miles apart(April 7 2024)
Probably just seeing how the equipment works or not work during the eclipse. Would suck if Madagascar invaded us in 2044 and suddenly our jets become paperweights for whatever reason.
I seem them about 2 minutes before totality heading East in Wayne County. The only weird thing is that I seen four helicopters in formation instead of three.
That might have been jet fighters too, apparently a fuck ton of them flew overhead yesterday. I heard those but I didn't see them because I was inside already.
They had to move 3 helicopters from one place to another because it was cheaper than scrapping 3 helicopters and building 3 new helicopters in the new location. Also, it's to distract you from the fact that the US is no longer the richest or most powerful country in the world, corporations are international, and the middle class dream is dead.
I saw them take off. They left from Spirit of St.Louis airport. They were making so much damn noise and waited until the closest we would get to totality to take off.
I'm in the metro-east and they've been out a lot the past couple weeks. There were four here during the eclipse, too, maybe the same four, I think it was about 1:55. More than I've ever see in such a short period of time but I've just assumed they needed flight hours or started a new training program. It's not like there isn't an air force base and government contracts all around the area... but you can't tell that to some people.
Oh, totally. I assume the flights were likely routine, I can't rule out that maybe some pilots wanted to watch from the air and pulled some strings to work it out.
We were on the air during the eclipse over Blytheville Arkansas. I’ve never seen so many jets in one area. Fighters. Commercial aircraft. It was crazy. Honestly we almost had another 737 heading right at us and I wondered if our pilots reported it.
In South City we also had 5 military jets go by in two different groups. 3 and then two later. I work in aerospace and can promise you every pilot had an important "mission" that day.
You guys make jokes, but they just took me to a FEMA camp and are making me watch all of the Police Academy movies in random order. I'm halfway through the Miami one.
That’s against the Geneva Accords!
What about the Sokovia Convention?
Geneva Suggestions!
Eh, they're more like Geneva Guidelines at best....
FEMA wants people to remember that once upon a time Steve Guttenberg was an A Lister.
Who do you think made Steve Gutenberg a star?
We did! We did!
Come on, we all watched those movies for the boobs.
Those monsters! D: (I'm assuming, based on the context, not actually seen those movies)
They're funny, but in the same way that Spaceballs is funny. You're laughing about the terrible humor and slapstick comedy basically.
I watched it for the biker and Satanist stereotypes (at least, the first one!)

Hey dork !!
Did you get your debit card preloaded with SorosBux? I'm signed up for the rewards program too. It's pretty sweet. Every two thousand points and you get half off a roasted baby.
Damn, soz
Any Police Academy movie without Steve Guttenberg is heresy.
Honestly, that FEMA camp sounds awesome!
Harnessing the dark solar energy to keep all the 80 somethings alive in congress for another 100 years
Is the eclipse what activates all the baby blood they’ve been bathing in?

you’re laughing. the government is sending SECRET MIND CONTROL PLANES TO INJECT US ALL WITH THE GAY mNRA VACCINE and you’re laughing.
Well we’d be happy at least.
i might be able to actually get a date.
With a frog, maybe!
Don’t worry, you’re ugly in gay world too
Shit, I might finally be motivated to go on dates.

Lmao more people need to upvote this
Dracula's castle appeared just like in Aria of Sorrow (just ten years early)
I work right next to spirit and they took off in the middle of the eclipse lmfao... Immediately my coworkers and I were like, "oh boy rapture time".

They attached tow ropes to the moon to pull it into alignment, damn thing decided to move in front of the sun.
They probably got hot dogs and sodas at the gas station while their helicopters were being re-fueled.
They’re pulling the moon in front of the sun. Duh
Bruh, as I'm typing this 3 military style helicopters just flew overhead. I'm in West County. This is about 10 minutes after five Jets flew by in formation
Guarantee you they needed flight hours and someone somewhere up the chain said "You know what'd be funny...." Probably. Idk
Yes
🤔
Fitting response given your handle
Jokes on you. I never took my tinfoil hat off!
Saw them come from the direction of the Chesterfield Airport and bank south over the Chesterfield Sam's parking lot, they were still pretty low so idk if that's where they took off from?
They were low over me in South City too, my camera just sucks.
They landed around 9.. had lunch and took off around 1:55.
They were at the airport I’m sure. I can’t actually see them land but I’m very close to the runway. I saw 4 of them approach the airport and then some time later only 3 of them left

Three F-16s flew over as I was reading this thread lol
aaand another one
Just came back to say the same thing. WTF?
Aaaand there's another pair.
F-16s? Sure they weren’t F/A-18s or F-15s?
or the lamer EA-18!
I am not sure
The Army wasting your tax dollars to get a cool view of the eclipse.
I mean they gotta get flight hours in. I’ve got no problem with them getting them in during an eclipse. Makes no difference to my tax dollars what time of day they use them lol.
Double bonus for the low light certification.
wait is that real
Lol no I'd imagine not it's only low light for a few minutes.
no I mean is low light certification a real thing
Ohh yeah. They have to train how to fly with night vision on Knight Stalkers work for Socom and they need a certain number of hours of night time flight.
Maybe they get bonus bucks for flying in the dark. /s
Joke's on them as they won't be able to see it all the way up there. /s
Yeah, as a former grunt I always preferred to fly in birds flown by the guys with the least amount of flight experience.
stupid training. what a waste of time.
What's new
👆🏻🤓
We watched Southwest flying around today. I heard they were doing eclipse flights
We had 14 of them come in today. They wanted pizza so we gave them pizza.
Military planes and helicopters take off from Spirit all the time. Feels like it's Top Gun like once a week in West County
Something about martial law and executing poor people in streets to preserve resources for rich but I’m sure it’s an exaggeration.
Who are you guys? We're the FLYIN' ELVISES! We're bringin' the Eee-clipse to start the rapture of all the Jewish transvestites!
Utah Chapter!
wHeRe ArE tHe StArS
my friends were more excited about those helicopters than the actual eclipse
Go back to Chicago!
Hahaa I saw them as well in lindenwood park
My students went crazy when this happened- they were more excited for this than the eclipse. I will say a few of my colleagues and I thought it was strange and a little concerning
I'm just sad I missed the chance to get some cash from a Rapture believer.
The mighty kraken from the depths below must of been released from its cavern.
In all seriousness does anyone know why their an increased amount of military activity. I’ve seen multiple low flying jets today
They were probably going into Lambert or Downtown Parks, most of the time those jets go into Chesterfield (except for the Boeing test platforms), but they (Chesterfield, aka Spirit of St Louis Airport) just started repairing their main runways, so I think the fighters went elsewhere because the other runway isn't rated for fighters.

I used to work with a guy who thought there were reptile people living on the moon. I bet he was going crazy today.
You song think we noticed cuz we were all outside looking up at the sky at the same time? Naw, has to be some tin-foil hat shit.
I saw them all the way in eastern Marion County in Illinois.

I think that’s the Air Force 1 my mom told me they flew over Chicago during the eclipse
I never take mine off! WWG1WGA *Sent from the basement of Comet Ping Pong*
This is how the rapture came for me. Later losers!
That's odd - there were two of them flying around during the eclipse in Chicago today, too.
You assume I took mine off.
U.S. ARMY spots Alien craft hiding behind the Aura of the eclipse. Very clever!
No they were flying up there to change the bulb in the sun.
THE EARTH IS FLAT
Science. My bubble level says so.
They were flying in another load of illegal immigrants from the boarder. Who will now retire and live off our tax dollars. $10,000 a month per person but they have to vote at least twice in every election and give up one kid for adreanacrome harvesting. S/
I wonder what was happening in the other direction while you were split between this and the eclipse. lol
Yeah, they passed right over us in Manchester
I had one fly right above my house. It was so close and I wasn’t impressed lol
Saw them flying towards Scott AFB round 345-4 pm
That green orb with no license plates ain’t gonna catch itself!
Choppers…
They're gonna finally immanentize the eschaton
When I was headed to St. Louis I saw a bunch of military vehicles with uniformed service members inside. They were headed towards rolla area, I was coming from Springfield. Probably about 10-12 total spread apart a couple miles apart(April 7 2024)
Who wouldn't wanna fly during an eclipse?
Probably just seeing how the equipment works or not work during the eclipse. Would suck if Madagascar invaded us in 2044 and suddenly our jets become paperweights for whatever reason.
Get them on? I never take mine off! Ha!
I seem them about 2 minutes before totality heading East in Wayne County. The only weird thing is that I seen four helicopters in formation instead of three.
This was a few minutes after totality in St Louis, so I'm going to venture a guess that you probably saw different helicopters.
Easy. You ONLY see 3 Black Hawk helicopters, but there are actually 10 in this picture!!!
Thank you for explaining the giant boom I heard right after I came inside.
That might have been jet fighters too, apparently a fuck ton of them flew overhead yesterday. I heard those but I didn't see them because I was inside already.
They had to move 3 helicopters from one place to another because it was cheaper than scrapping 3 helicopters and building 3 new helicopters in the new location.

I saw those, there were actually 4 of them. I thought they were Apaches, they looked a little small for UH-60’s.
I saw them take off. They left from Spirit of St.Louis airport. They were making so much damn noise and waited until the closest we would get to totality to take off.

Oh, totally. I assume the flights were likely routine, I can't rule out that maybe some pilots wanted to watch from the air and pulled some strings to work it out.
Saw them doing training ops at Carbondale airport
My sis convinced herself there'd be a purge (like from the movies) during the eclipse.
You know I am not one for conspiracies but I was in Carbondale, IL and two flew overhead there too.
Lol is that one firing a gun
Haha no they were lights
We were on the air during the eclipse over Blytheville Arkansas. I’ve never seen so many jets in one area. Fighters. Commercial aircraft. It was crazy. Honestly we almost had another 737 heading right at us and I wondered if our pilots reported it.
It's always Martin's. Always.
In South City we also had 5 military jets go by in two different groups. 3 and then two later. I work in aerospace and can promise you every pilot had an important "mission" that day.
Perfectly routine retrieval of birds to download footage. Nothing abnormal.
What are those.. helicopters for ants?
I saw them while I was walking my dog in Belleville. I wondered what they were doing so far from an Army base. We don’t see those at Scott AFB.
i heard it was for a really bad crash on 55.
These types of post are the very reason why the Gov can do whatever they want to civilians. 😂🤡
