    That picture was more like it. But i can see markings on that one in the picture. The military did fly their stuff through this valley in the 70's and early 80's. But some people complaied about the noise and they stopped doing it, untill now. Once and a while a plane would fly low through here. I remeber seeing a A-10 when i was 12 or so. Activity has been picking up with the military aircraft flying though here in the past 3 years. But this is the first i saw an unmarked one.

      I know these things are regulary painted gray for Marine use. From this pic it doesn't seem like it has many markings on it either.
      Wtf? Is that a Cobra breaking the sound barrier?

        Subdued military paint schemes often use different shades of the same color making insignia hard to see in flight.

        That AH-1W pik is photshopped. SuperCobras are fast...but not that fast.

          Markings for US need to be at mininium 6 inches. Kinda hard to see subdued markings on some military aircraft.

              Which, as you know, is the intent.

                      its probably normal. but call the cops on it.. people do it all the time because they "fly to low" over housing... and the unit gets a ticket... so fuckn gay.

                          Till some dumb ass thinks he can fit thru some trees killing him and his wing man in a AH-64d. Sad part is it's on film and they discussed what was gonna kill them. "I don't think we will fit. Nah we will don't worry" Was sorta how it went.

                              As much as I don't like to be labeled as a consipircy theorist, I think that sometimes there are things around us that are always being done to establish a bigger master plan to either control us or watch us to some degree. Or if it has nothing to do with controlling the general public then I would suggest that someone is using government resources to make their private enterprise more profitable.

                              When I was a kid, I witnessed this unmarked van drive down my street late one night. They stopped in the middle of the street, opened up the rear doors and then pulled out this huge drill that was aparently mounted to the inside of the van. They had no cones or lights (except for the one on the drill) and they spent about 90 minutes making a bunch of noise and kicking up a bunch of dust.

                              The next morning I went outside to inspect whatever road construction work that might have been going on and I discovered that it was a perfectly cut 6-inch circle with a patch of asphalt that looks like it was compressed inside of the hole. It was very wierd because at first I thought it was a water main break but usually the water company will dig a hole 6 feet wide and 8 feet deep and leave a steel plate on top of it until they can permanently fix the problem.

                                That's a classic pic of a jet breaking the sound barrier with the Cobra photoshopped over the jet.
