I forgot about this, will all our prop/skeg drama, but when we were at Park Moabi last week we saw a few unusual things in the sky.
We saw commercial jet liners being escorted by fighter jets.
This happened twice, once going west and once going east.
Your thoughts.............................

Would it go east and then west in the same day?
About 4 hours apart?
maybe........

One of the guys here at work is Air Force Reserve works in air refueling out of March. One of their tracks is over the river. Their tankers are often mistaken for commercial. Could be some fighters getting ready to top off.

Yeah we saw those F-16 escorts too, kinda strange ! But then later in the day coming out of Park Moabi, I also saw a boatload of like 8-10 sand......err, "middle easterners" loaded in a Bayliner, one woman even had her face rag on. So I just figured the Al Queda was trying to take over the river and launch an assault on us boaters !!

Could have been Airforce 1 or even the VP's plane. Don't remember what they were doing last week.
Could have also been an AWACS plane doing training... they are usually escorted by 2 F-15s when on mission status...

LOL! They are taking over our sandbar!!
The big plane was in front and the two escorts were on either side of the big plane, just behind it. We all thought maybe they were targeting certain flights (long flights) to escort, just in case. Remember we were out of contact with civilization...well Todd had TV in his RV, but we didn't see anything about this.....
