Political implications of seeing one of these bad boys fly from a US Army Air Defense Reserve base?
>>531214187Last known bearing, heading S from Eastern US, likely heading to MidEast Theater
I'm not giving any more identifying location information outside of SE USAI believe this is called an A300 AirBus. It may not have been this exact plane, but it was too damn similar. Flew right over my house, not even joking.
its probably just some cattle going to the kosher slaughter nothing to worry about
>>531214187do you have Airbus planes in the US air force? they use these to deliver parts from airbus headquarters in Toulouse
>>531214917Apparently they're used for transporting heavy cargo, specifically for air units
>>531215478I know this is a meme here, but I'm not even kidding when I say one literally flew over my house.I don't know if it's the A300 but it looked almost exactly like that. Very unique shape, and it was pretty low to the ground.
>>531214187its not happening until you see these badboys
>>531214187Beluga Whale is actually a dolphin.it looks more like the dolphin you see in Florida.
>>531214187Is the Beluga plane /pol/ approved?
>>531214187what exactly does this thing do?
>>531214187awww its so cute
>>531216055It even has the funny jew hat
>>531215572>A300nice that's a rare one, i've seen the occasional one usually DHL
>>531216364See>>531215503
>>531214187They just retired the beluga's, you must have seen an XL.
>>531216487I had no idea this plane even existed until I saw it earlier on /pol/Lo and behold I'm sitting outside and then this thing flies over my house. Rare indeed. >I do live near a United States army Air defense reserve Base
>>531216364Tansports aerospace parts like wings and fuselages etc.There's an Airbus factory down the road from mine that makes wings, snd has it's own landing strip. The beluga planes land and transport the wings to other airbus factorys for assembly
>>531216555A330-200 XL?So it's an even more rare site? Heckin righteous
>>531216717That's pretty cool, the post I saw earlier said there wasn't many of those
>>531215503I think they are mostly used for big stuff (not necessarily heavy). Like fuselages (the body of the jumbo jets).
>>531216968>That's pretty cool, the post I saw earlier said there wasn't many of thoseJust 6 according to WIki, I've only seen one of the smiley beluga ones a handful of times.loading is pretty neat, the front dome open upwards for loading so they just poke the front through the a big hole in the hangar doors and load them
>>531217433CheckersThat is pretty cool, must be a pain in the ass to back out though Must be a really rare sight for a civilian that isn't in the DOD then, I consider myself very lucky today
>>531217672>I consider myself very lucky todayAye, it'll likely be a long time before you see another, if at all.Pretty damn cool when you see one for the first time though, you're like "WTF is that?!?!?" kek
>>531214469I think I saw one flying around bwi when I was driving home. Could've come from Andrew's afb
>>531218231Oh yeah dude it blew my mind lmao, you can very clearly tell it's not a normal plane>>531220196Might have been the same one, but the one I saw was ascending at low alt
>>531218231Damn shame I didn't get a photo or anything, too busy smoking some pipe tobacco and didn't have my phone. By the time I realized it was already gone, so I just enjoyed the moment instead
>>531216055kek
>>531221077CheckedYeah the schonzers and kippas on those things make them honorary kikes but damn if they ain't useful
>>531217433>oh hey guys, what're you doing in here?
