They're just getting ready for the boogaloo. Maybe Biden will turn this training exercise into a "Special Military Operation" to round up patriots in the Phoenix area. :violence-pistoldouble: :violence-rambo: :violence-sniperprone:

Should I warn the wife first or play along if we hear anything?

I'm speculating this will involve Cowtown Range. Before it was made open to the public, it was called Firebase Phoenix and used as a contract training area for the DoD. The old paintball fields that were originally movie sets were used as stand-ins for foreign villages. Cowtown's proximity to Az74 and the 303 would allow for handy practice of aerial escort of convoys and such. And if they got the cooperation of that gigantic microchip manufacturing facility under construction along the 303, the SF boys would have nifty MOUNT playground.

Why such a secret location? Why does the terrain match those areas where they would be deployed? Where are we deploying troops? TX? AZ? Never been to the Arab nations but I don’t think they look like Sonoran desert and neither does Russia or China.

Interesting……..

It is just an expansion of those marines behind Biden now the military is practicing in area expected to have resistance to oh I dont know maybe martial law about a week after some indictments hit.

I saw it yesterday afternoon. There were two black helicopters and a Blackhawk flying together. They'd dip down and hover over the police academy near 7th and Dobbins, drop something that went BOOM and then fly east and do a clockwise loop around South Mountain and back around to the same spot at the academy. They must have done this 5 times in a row.

Military aircraft moving around the valley is an everyday occurrence. There are bases on every end of the city, and traffic through Sky Harbor daily.

I work for a manufacturing company that builds airfield maintenance equipment. I'm regularly walking around one of the many runway this city has...probably walked every inch of the 12000'+ newly renovated runway Gateway has a few times. Our shop is just east of Sky Harbor's flight path. Aside from the National guard and AF refuelers, on Fridays there will be a good mix of fighters coming and going with the regular traffic.
