Yep, and did you notice there are only 25 aircraft in the air. Normally at this time of the day we're looking at around 150.
Well on a normal day 25 is about right. The figure has been higher the past few weeks.
Where are all the Trainers around Pensacola Fl? There are usually ten to fifteen of them up on any given day by now. I'm showing one in Arkansas.
Some days those trainers don't show until 11 AM.
But I will say its interesting that almost all military activity is composed of transport planes right now.
MLK Day is a National holiday. Would that slow down activity?
Yes and no, Major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Labor Day, Memorial Day and New Years day yes, but minor holidays like MLK, Presidents day Columbus Day no.
Thanks for the info! I need it all.
Across all services, no fly fridays are common. This is because they don't want air crews to break crap on Friday afternoon which require the maintenance guys to work through the weekend. This way, everyone tends to get their weekends off. But... hundreds of air crews have been working non-stop. Likewise, lots of equipment is now transporting via train.
We've got non-stop air tankers crossing the country, which is commonly done when you want to refuel shorter range aircraft without them landing.
