The answer to Wichita was given, but like anywhere else it was mentioned, largely ignored.

Joking aside.....Two online commentators (Tyler and someone i cant remember) both said THAP ....
THAP would be mid 90s tech as well wouldnt it ?....which might support the strange nature of the reveal.

Although I suspect it might be a THAP....I have no way to verify and peeps on the internet are 50/50 at best when you historically review their previous gossip/hints/predictions against reality.

Nope

Oh well....definitely worth a look again then as I was fairly happy with that explanation.

Weird that this doesn't get more coverage by the "black aircraft" sites as it is probably quite juicy given all the things it isnt....

a reply to: Jukiodone

The exact opposite. When the mission is given it's largely ignored because it's not sexy enough.

a reply to: BASSPLYR

The leading edge glow being sunlight reflection from cost effective aluminium signal boosting perhaps?

Awacs type ? may be , what is sexy : strike, counter air, ISR /intelligence, close air support. and what is not :?? transport.Refuel

a reply to: Michet

Nope. Hey this is fun doing the zaph thing.

BACN?

a reply to: Zaphod58

Not sexy would be transport, cargo, refueler, plain old VIP shuttle and/or AWACS type.

One of those?

a reply to: BigTrain

One, and more. It fulfills multiple missions, none of which are particularly sexy, all of which are particularly vital.

VIP shuttle I was thinking but wouldn,t video conferencing be a more viable solution these days?

They still fly around for face to face meetings. Not in that though. They just hop in one of their "No, we're not American" aircraft out of Andrews or McGuire.

Rapid response Jason Bourne dropper offer platform maybe

Telling you it is a flying wifi hotspot for camp slayer. That porn wont stream itself.

Hey zaph my wifi sux can you talk to somebody and see if you can arrange wichita to overfly my apartment.

a reply to: BASSPLYR

Send your coordinates and I'll have ####### take a look and see what they can do.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Nice try zaph. All the electronics in my apartment fry out. The only thing my internet says when i try and get on is " sorry for your service interruption. Please contact this number within the next 48 hours to discuss a very important matter. "


Calls. Leads to some desk at Luke AFB.


Besides zaph you have my address.

a reply to: BASSPLYR

Address doesn't help. I need exact coordinates. It's too much work to get them from an address.

a reply to: Zaphod58
Nonsense.
A google search will provide geographic coords as well as a street view.

a reply to: Phage

Yeah, but if I wanted to put that much effort into something, I wouldn't be a truck driver.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Well last time i made a stink they were able to figure out where i was within 24 hours and arrange something awesome to fly down the center of my street lengthwise. Im pretty sure they already got my info. Just tell em i need 2 gigs per second download speed on my internet stat. Xhamsters been running really slow lately.

Come on....hook a bro up.
