We had three M-28 Skytrucks from the 318th Special Operations Squadron stop overnight. They departed early this afternoon. I've got some pics I'm working on - should be able to post tomorrow.

I saw them, and watched them come in, but I wasn't sure if it was safe to say anything! Glad you got some shots...I took a few but it was full dark and 3/4 of a mile away, so they didn't come out too well!

I know someone else who got some great shots...and I bet you know him too! Can't wait to see both of your shots here soon!

I know what you mean Chuck! I did some research before I started this thread. The Air Force has published articles and pics of them before so I figured it would be ok to publish! And yeah I know who else has shots too! 🙂

I think since they are flying in public airspace and landing at a public (municipal) airport you are safe from the dark vans pulling up outside your...

Haha - I figured I'd check and see if the Air Force had talked about them first. That way I can avoid the black vans...I hope... 🙂

Instead of black vans, you might look for one of the M-28's landing on your street. Cuts out the middleman plus the guys wouldn't ruin their civies.

I don't believe the M-28's are *that* special in themselves. It's my understanding that they were part of a larger agreement with Poland and represent a convenience, not a unique capability for the USAF.
