Is there an American airforce recall going on today?

Asked by Lost_World (1231points) January 22nd, 2011 from iPhone

Just noticed somewhere in the range of 18 giant planes flying in close formation over Ireland towards the Atlantic, anyone know what this is?

you know how they sometimes say “this is not a drill”. In this case “This is probably a drill”.

What makes you think the planes are American?

@captainHarley There are not many other airforces that fly in the strata from the middle east direction to the Atlantic.

It also seems way to far from Iraqi or the US to be a drill.

Perhaps they are all carrying troops for a military takeover of the US?

@captin it’s possible all 18 or so planes were hijacked (or the USSR still exists), I would imagine they would be blown from the sky before they even got over land.
