Just looking for pics of DC....
Found that patch in the photo (don’t know how to post photos here) is of the 174th attack wing
Looks like they fly reaper drones.....
Also known as Predator drone
There are a lot of things going on right now, that I cannot find a single logical answer for; except, war.
Hope it’s all show.

A small question for you Zaphod:- is the 174th a NG unit or regular army? As I thought only NG were deployed in DC.
The 174th Attack Wing (174 ATKW) is a unit of the New York Air National Guard, stationed at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, Syracuse, New York
. The 174th is equipped with the MQ-9 Reaper. If activated to federal service, the Wing is gained by the United States Air Force Air Combat Command.

There is no reason to. Military aircraft have an exemption to the ADS-B mandate. They're overhead all the time without showing up on trackers, or showing up as unknown.

So members of this unit are responsible for the terror bombing campaign of Middle Eastern villages and towns where they intentionally target mosques, hospitals, market places and school yards. Great guys! Wouldn’t be getting cookies from me that’s for sure.
