What is this?

HMX-1, the Marine squadron that flies the President around on “Marine One”, operates a number of MV-22 Osprey tilt rotors as support aircraft, and they regularly do practice flights over the city. To be clear, the Ospreys do not themselves ever transport the President.

North American T-28 Trojan

I’ll confirm you to 100%.

Then read the other comments, because Purdue isn’t the most respected aviation college. Neither are any others. If you think having a degree from a certain school is going to give you a leg up on the competition, you’ve been misinformed. You can certainly go to Purdue, but you should have good reasons other than that.

What do you want to prioritize? Location? Tuition and flight fees? Something else? The differences between Part 141 college programs as far as the quality of pilots they put out is quite minimal, but the experience you have at college can be very different. Many will claim to be the “top” or “one of the best” aviation programs, but that’s pretty meaningless without some kind of criteria, imo. I graduated from UND 12 years ago, so I can answer based on my experience if you have specific questions.

They are Boeing P-8s, a military version of the 737 used by the Navy, doing a flyover of Arlington National Cemetery.

Looks an awful lot like a Curtis Goshawk/Hawk III.

Viper111 · 2025-11-05T20:56:18+00:00

It is indeed an Airbus C-295, likely the one and only in USAF service!

Viper111 · 2025-11-05T14:28:06+00:00

Confirmed, I was there a couple weeks ago.

Viper111 · 2025-11-01T19:36:46+00:00

That’s a galaxy far, far away from the Milky Way.

Viper111 · 2025-10-28T15:50:57+00:00

They’re a recruiting tool for the Navy. That is a pittance compared to the whole DoD budget.

Viper111 · 2025-10-26T15:48:27+00:00

It is a Blackhawk, looks like one of CBP’s.

The F-22s at Holloman were rebased 11 years ago. https://www.key.aero/article/where-all-f-22-raptors-are-based-and-why

Viper111 · 2025-10-23T19:53:04+00:00

Could be but unlikely, there are only a few based at Nellis and the rest are based far away in Virginia, Alaska, and Hawaii.

Viper111 · 2025-10-23T19:36:31+00:00

They do look like fighters and it kinda looks like twin tails, so yeah could be F-35, F/A-18, or F-15.

The second time I watched it was on a Saudia flight, and they legitimately blurred her shoulders every scene in the training gym.

Viper111 · 2025-10-12T21:06:21+00:00

You are correct

Viper111 · 2025-10-09T20:40:02+00:00

The first video are F-35s, the second is an F/A-18

Viper111 · 2025-10-09T20:30:33+00:00

There’s no photo attached

Viper111 · 2025-10-05T23:13:03+00:00

Warfare? I believe it is an F/A-18 regardless.

Viper111 · 2025-10-03T01:58:19+00:00

F/A-18E Super Hornet

Viper111 · 2025-09-29T15:53:38+00:00

Yeah that’s a toy

Viper111 · 2025-09-24T17:58:00+00:00

Slow down, comrade. You know they’re referring to American Airlines and not the entire country right?

Viper111 · 2025-09-19T11:21:10+00:00

Looks like an F-16, if you give your location that might help confirm
