It's never fucking happening. The moment my life gets back on track will be the day it's finally happens.
>>136404227
Would we really miss Seattle if it were gone? David Lightman had the right idea when he tried to get WOPR to nuke it back in the 80s.
>>136404922
lol that's my old base.
>>136404227
Whidbey island is a Naval Air Station where a P-8 squadron is located. It's probably training flights.
>>136404227
There's lots of subs out of seattle, saw a lot of escorts while I was stationed there.

but it's flying out of Boeing Field
> In Seattle at Boeing Field, Clay Lacy Aviation is famous for its seemingly constant stream of visiting military aircraft—but those aircraft aren't usually executing highly peculiar surveillance missions over nearby urban areas for days on end. And the fact that the aircraft is not operating from the Boeing military ramp is a very good indication that its mission does not involve the aerospace giant. As such, this also largely eliminates the possibility of Boeing doing some sort of systems integration testing on the aircraft which could have explained some of its strange behavior.

I didn't even read the article so I couldn't say what's going on. I will say, though, that America's trust in the military is not misplaced.
>>136404227
Well, was it dropping sonar buoys?
That's the only way to tell.
>right next to a navel base
>actually think they would keep transponders on if they are legitimately doing serious searching so that the enemy would just see where they are
There are probably hundreds of military planes flying around places all the time and you'll never know because if they are doing serious shit you won't see them on any public tracker.
it's worth noting that no one at the Department of Defense seems to know why the plane is making those weird flight paths
>>136405360
Subs, CVNs, a few air wings.
whats the name of the flight tracker with a live map?
>>136404227
Its scanning the area. basically a military exercise.
>>136405788
because they are going to say what a grey plane with no markings loaded up with surveillance equipment is doing
>>136405971
the callsign is SPUD21
the activity log is in the article
>>136405788
The Russians are making a move oh fuggg
>>136405179
>masonic lodge
>Lenin statue
>mexican food restaurant
>clueless normie white bitch
Is a more cancerous scene even possible?
>>136406425
yeah probably this. we may even have one of our own submarines there to help with the exercise.
when you see an ASW helo...then be concerned

It's Seafair Weekend
>>136405179
I loved that movie
California will be nuked in your lifetime.
My uncle Squidward got drunk with me last night and spilled the beans. The North Koreans have a new stealth submarine propulsion technology the THAADs cannot detect and the Brass is going apeshit over this and Nork commando units are already deployed in the PNW operating out of Vancouver BC. Strategically this means North Korea can defeat the USA in war.
>>136407835
Im concerned now, that it's nothing
>>136407835
why?
>>136408257

Look I've got a terrible hangover don't have time for this, I've got to catch a flight out of here and my wife is in tears I put the house up for sale and bought the plane tickets out of here this morning. I'm too old to start learning Korean so I'm packing my suitcases and bugging out. I always knew it would come to this and last night I got the word. Anyways good luck faggot, Nork commandos aren't known for their tolerance of degenerates.
