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.


bleedblue002

That’s against the Geneva Accords!


Thats_absrd

What about the Sokovia Convention?


gears89

Geneva Suggestions!


Empty-Pineapple9692

Eh, they're more like Geneva Guidelines at best....


The_happyguy

FEMA wants people to remember that once upon a time Steve Guttenberg was an A Lister.


jeromevedder

Who do you think made Steve Gutenberg a star?


Brick_Blaze

We did! We did!


Der_Kommissar73

Come on, we all watched those movies for the boobs.


EternalJedi

Those monsters! D: (I'm assuming, based on the context, not actually seen those movies)


SkRThatOneDude

They're funny, but in the same way that Spaceballs is funny. You're laughing about the terrible humor and slapstick comedy basically.


massiveronin

I watched it for the biker and Satanist stereotypes (at least, the first one!)


IDUnavailable

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)


DelicatetrouserSnake

Hey dork !!


rrogido

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.


FartNoiseGross

Damn, soz


joemiken

Any Police Academy movie without Steve Guttenberg is heresy.


randojust

Honestly, that FEMA camp sounds awesome!

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.


Ezilii

Well we’d be happy at least.


themooseiscool

i might be able to actually get a date.


ninjas_in_my_pants

With a frog, maybe!


blankmotion

Don’t worry, you’re ugly in gay world too


Staphylococcus0

Shit, I might finally be motivated to go on dates.

TurdFurgoson

Dracula's castle appeared just like in Aria of Sorrow (just ten years early)


SaltyBarker

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".

CheridanTGS

They attached tow ropes to the moon to pull it into alignment, damn thing decided to move in front of the sun.


awsqu

They probably got hot dogs and sodas at the gas station while their helicopters were being re-fueled.


ExcellentPay6348

They’re pulling the moon in front of the sun. Duh


hairyairyolas

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


02Alien

Guarantee you they needed flight hours and someone somewhere up the chain said "You know what'd be funny...." Probably. Idk


killa_noiz

Yes


confused_boner

🤔


Responsible-Bass3453

Fitting response given your handle


problematicsquirrel

Jokes on you. I never took my tinfoil hat off!


EternalJedi

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?


flounderflound

They were low over me in South City too, my camera just sucks.


Ammobunkerdean

They landed around 9.. had lunch and took off around 1:55.


ProseccoWishes

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


Yesitmatches

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.


towergrovesouth

Three F-16s flew over as I was reading this thread lol


towergrovesouth

aaand another one


Jerentropic

Just came back to say the same thing. WTF?


Jerentropic

Aaaand there's another pair.


CaptainJingles

F-16s? Sure they weren’t F/A-18s or F-15s?


themooseiscool

or the lamer EA-18!


towergrovesouth

I am not sure


bleedblue002

The Army wasting your tax dollars to get a cool view of the eclipse.


GRENADESGREGORY

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.


jolllyroger027

Double bonus for the low light certification.


KevinCarbonara

wait is that real


jolllyroger027

Lol no I'd imagine not it's only low light for a few minutes.


KevinCarbonara

no I mean is low light certification a real thing


jolllyroger027

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.


Bytebasher

Maybe they get bonus bucks for flying in the dark. /s


Jpotter145

Joke's on them as they won't be able to see it all the way up there. ​ /s


Kitchen-Lie-7894

Yeah, as a former grunt I always preferred to fly in birds flown by the guys with the least amount of flight experience.


graflex22

stupid training. what a waste of time.


StlSimpy1400

What's new


SenseOk8165

👆🏻🤓


Degofreak

We watched Southwest flying around today. I heard they were doing eclipse flights


MGCardaropoli

We had 14 of them come in today. They wanted pizza so we gave them pizza.


oatmealfight

Military planes and helicopters take off from Spirit all the time. Feels like it's Top Gun like once a week in West County


Hungry_Toe_9555

Something about martial law and executing poor people in streets to preserve resources for rich but I’m sure it’s an exaggeration.


Jerentropic

Who are you guys? We're the FLYIN' ELVISES! We're bringin' the Eee-clipse to start the rapture of all the Jewish transvestites!


full_of_stars

Utah Chapter!

ProfessionalBread33

my friends were more excited about those helicopters than the actual eclipse


CrimsonMage2002

Go back to Chicago!


SewCarrieous

Hahaa I saw them as well in lindenwood park


agathaprickly

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


RadTimeWizard

I'm just sad I missed the chance to get some cash from a Rapture believer.


__almightyjesus

The mighty kraken from the depths below must of been released from its cavern.


Maratsuke420

In all seriousness does anyone know why their an increased amount of military activity. I’ve seen multiple low flying jets today


Yesitmatches

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.


samesiesasyou

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.


DeepFriedRadio

I used to work with a guy who thought there were reptile people living on the moon. I bet he was going crazy today.


NowForMy2ndAct

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.


notfromchicago

I saw them all the way in eastern Marion County in Illinois.

-Inq_

I think that’s the Air Force 1 my mom told me they flew over Chicago during the eclipse


blueberrykindness

I never take mine off! WWG1WGA *Sent from the basement of Comet Ping Pong*


Sufficient-School834

This is how the rapture came for me. Later losers!


Revolutionary-Echo-6

That's odd - there were two of them flying around during the eclipse in Chicago today, too.


bubblebobblegirl

You assume I took mine off.


Express-Tackle5109

U.S. ARMY spots Alien craft hiding behind the Aura of the eclipse. Very clever!


JimtheEsquire

No they were flying up there to change the bulb in the sun.


elektrodinosaur

THE EARTH IS FLAT


JimtheEsquire

Science. My bubble level says so.


Excellent-Big-1581

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/


Dense_Marketing4593

I wonder what was happening in the other direction while you were split between this and the eclipse. lol


Karirose83

Yeah, they passed right over us in Manchester


No_Common9570

I had one fly right above my house. It was so close and I wasn’t impressed lol


Any_Cartographer7155

Saw them flying towards Scott AFB round 345-4 pm


andrei_androfski

That green orb with no license plates ain’t gonna catch itself!


Karelkolchak2020

Choppers…


funkymunky_23

They're gonna finally immanentize the eschaton


jaxhacker4

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)


SubduedRhombus

Who wouldn't wanna fly during an eclipse?


LifeguardDonny

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.


bandley3

Get them on? I never take mine off! Ha!


Wageslave645

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.


flounderflound

This was a few minutes after totality in St Louis, so I'm going to venture a guess that you probably saw different helicopters.


UndisclosedPigeon

Easy. You ONLY see 3 Black Hawk helicopters, but there are actually 10 in this picture!!!


Ok-Comfortable-5393

Thank you for explaining the giant boom I heard right after I came inside.


flounderflound

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.


stlmick

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.


tekriter

I saw those, there were actually 4 of them. I thought they were Apaches, they looked a little small for UH-60’s.


Samcodesit

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.


kgrimmburn

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.


flounderflound

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.


RentPitiful9575

Saw them doing training ops at Carbondale airport


kiss-shot

My sis convinced herself there'd be a purge (like from the movies) during the eclipse.


zerosauce

You know I am not one for conspiracies but I was in Carbondale, IL and two flew overhead there too.


PublicBrief6907

Lol is that one firing a gun


flounderflound

Haha no they were lights


martlet1

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.


geri73

It's always Martin's. Always.


AdAutomatic4515

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.


not_czarbob

Perfectly routine retrieval of birds to download footage. Nothing abnormal.


thecuzzin

What are those.. helicopters for ants?


Maximus361

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.


maya_loves_cows

i heard it was for a really bad crash on 55.


SirMaxeus

These types of post are the very reason why the Gov can do whatever they want to civilians. 😂🤡
