I stumbled onto this thred lookiing for something else. and although I have personally witnessed substances other than engine exhaust being emitted from aircraft, while at the same time seeing the exhaust, I dont have a comment about that, here.
my comment is in reference to the runways in nebraska being too short for large military aircraft to come and go.
I was in thw air force for 4 years, stationed mostly at minot afb in ND. A SAC base, with KC-135's and b-52's, among other aircraft.
during one preparedness exercise the B-52's, which are the largest bomber aircraft in the airforce, performed a MITO (minimal interval take off exercise.) they travelled about half way down the runway, as an educated guess I'd say 2500 ft, and then shot STRAIGHT UP. Now anyone whos seen these big birds take off know they land and take off parallel to the ground, and slow. I learned that day what real capabilities they had.
The C-130 is made for short take offs and landings, everybody knows that. Not everybody knows what the b52's and kc-135's can and do, do.
another side note, someone mentioned the airport in nebraska housing the ANG wing was a public airport and therefore it couldnt be used for such purposes.
Yeah well, the airport in harrisburg Pa is also public, and it houses an AF wing that is HQ for the COMMANDO SOLO program, the airborne Psy-ops wing of the AF. This public facility is home to some of the most secretive and little known about members of the air force (area 51 notwithstanding).
Theres a lot you don't knnow about. Or maybe you do.

So why no photographs? They are right next to public highways and residential areas.
Here's the secretive facility you are talking about:

So why do you think there's something secret going on in there?
And how exactly do they hide it, given that the hangers are in full public view?edit on 29-7-2011 by Uncinus because: (no reason given)
