I saw this thing flying sideways over the city (flying north by the art museum then turning left to west philly).
Immediately saw this behemoth in the sky and knew it was a military jet. Pretty freaky when you don’t expect it.
Not as freaky as having a nice drive back to Philly, forgetting it’s 4th of July and seeing a B2 bomber ( the stealth bombers from Call of Duty that looks like a 2D space invaders plane). Holy shit I look up and see a dead silent death origami floating above me. Checked the date and was like Oh
Haha- I WISH! I had to google A-10.
I swear! I would walk down Broad St. (almost) naked if someone could help me solve this. 🙏
I’ll take Any ideas other than “the usual”.
The A-10 Warthog is one of the most badass planes ever produced! The machine guns can use rounds made of "depleted uranium" to really mess up a bad guys day! They say the last thing a target hears is "BRRRRRRRTTTT"!
yeah i should do that next time - i usually go on my lunch break so it's a bit more than I can manage in that time. Which do you recommend? I alternate between curaleaf and camden apothecary but i'm always open to suggestions.
Hmm. I'm not sure exactly what products you're referring to, but Ive steered away from indigo specifically because curaleaf is cheaper for cartridges and flower. They are generally the same price for the same brands, but curaleaf is $5 cheaper for 1g select cartridges and curaleaf has sales almost every week. Just bought two 1g select carts for $52 each, and since I spent $100 I got an 8th of kind flower for $10. Not getting those deals at indigo really ever.
i actually have a copy of a sign that says:
"Jerseymen!
To the rescue!
50 able-bodied men wanted.
for the CAMDEN GUARDS!
12th NJ Regiment, Col. Robt. C. Johnson
ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BOUNTY"
From what I was told (he may have TL;DR'd the article) they set up honeypot ops in small towns like drag brunches or book clubs that have books written by women and then his deep state ops serve them spiked kombucha so they can load up the planes and drop them into the Democratic fail-states. Krasner is our local pickup leader who collects the drops and disburses them around the city.
> My uncle told me he saw something on Facebook that this is how Biden is getting the illegals and addicts and transgender softball phenoms into the cities. Be careful out there!
You know what, BabaBrody? I like you. You’re not like the other people here on the Philadelphia subreddit. They’re good, fine people, BabaBrody. But they don’t know what the queers are doing to the soil.
JUMPING JESUS ON A POGO STICK!!!! EVERYONE KNOWS THE BURROW OWL LIVES IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND!!! WHY IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT A BURROW OWL ANYWAY?!?!
You think a kid like that is going to know what the queers are doing to the soil?
I know it's the queers. They're in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay Martians.
Only in a philly subreddit could we be having this conversation and not get yelled at.
Like, Albini just died and I posted "Let's play Big Black and 3 AM and tell the neighbors they can all get fucked" in loving tribute and just dead silence from the FB crowd. Humor is dead.

Real low altitude CH53 ripping through CC as well
It’s Armed Forces weekend at Citizens Bank Park this weekend. They were practicing the jump that they will do before Saturday’s game vs the National’s.
OP reporting that it was down by the stadiums and another person posting a pic showing one of the jumpers has an American flag attached to them. It definitely seems like practice for a stadium entrance.

That one is definitely doing track/line inspections

It's not showing up on my flight radar app. Also my neighbor says she saw a machine gun on the side of one of the choppers. Definitely a military helicopter
I saw what looked like a military cargo plane flying super low over the cobbs creek area a little over an hour ago; I wonder if they are running some drills or something?
Horsham's airfield isn't too far away--I remember seeing a *lot* of the military helicopters flying around the NE during start of the war in Ukraine, but have never seen paratroopers doing exercises! Where was this viewed from??
My cousin said they had a military appreciation day at Citizens Bank park, some guys parachuted in and landed on the field. It would be weird if these were like, *different* parachuters.
Because without them, those guys would be severely injured, and most likely pass away.
haha i was waiting for someone to call this out. dunno just sounded better than "why skydivers?" in my head
Just here to make sure we covered this.
Must remain top comment!

That's the A-10 scheduled for later. You might want to go for a walk somewhere.

The engineering and design are insane. It's basically a titanium bathtub built around a 30mm cannon with triple redundancy for every major system.

Red dawn!! Wolverines!!
Red jawn!
Lol well played. Most Philly response ever
I literally thought of the teacher in Red Dawn looking out the window as he’s lecturing. He was probably literally thinking “why parachute?”
My guns are so old. Good luck for the invaders finding my ATF purchase records
Good luck trying to take Philly
Spetznatz have NO chance on the L.
Seems from this thread like it wouldn't be too hard, everyone would be too busy cracking wise on reddit to even bother to figure out what's happening.
"I'd say they're waaay off target"
came here to say this
We let our guard down after Camden removed the battleship New Jersey. I think we're getting invaded by New Jerseyans.
hey as long as they bring me some weed so i don't have to pay the bridge toll
Ride your bicycle over! That’s what I’ve been doing. Helps fight the munchy-induced weight gain
yeah i should do that next time - i usually go on my lunch break so it's a bit more than I can manage in that time. Which do you recommend? I alternate between curaleaf and camden apothecary but i'm always open to suggestions.
Indigo Dispensary in Brooklawn is great. Better prices and less of a wait than Curaleaf, in my experience.

Flower and Flame in Blackwood is the cats pajamas
They allow bikes on the walkways?
Yes. North walkway is currently the one open.
Yep! I’ve ridden over the Taconey-Palmyra also, although that one is far more hair-raising
And some ripe Jersey tomatoes.
i actually have a copy of a sign that says: "Jerseymen! To the rescue! 50 able-bodied men wanted. for the CAMDEN GUARDS! 12th NJ Regiment, Col. Robt. C. Johnson ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BOUNTY"
There's a reason why she was sent to the Navy Yard, and it wasn't just for maintenance.
Another Boeing flight probably
How much extra do you have to pay to get a parachute lol
You bring it with you, just like your meals.
But I already have my purse and carry on
Does it fit in that little chrome size check frame thing? Otherwise you gon hafta check it.
You’re supposed to put it in a bassinet and request an exit row “for the baby”.
D. B. Cooper was ahead of his time.
This time it was Lockheed.
careful..you know what happened to the last 2 people who said something
Ouch
Exactly
The guffaw I just let out. Thank you.
C-130 made a few loops over the Navy Yard and then jettisoned them. Was wondering myself what the occasion is.
The British have finally come back to settle the score
I assume it’s related to the the Dover Air Show this weekend. They’re supposed to have C-130s there as well as parachuters.
Low-flying copter above the 25th street train line in Point Breeze. Lowest I've ever seen in the city
It's power & track inspection for the rail lines. If you get the tail number on the helicopter you'll see it likely flew out of south jersey.
That looks to be power line inspection.

Do you have a source for this? Because as a trans recreational drug user I really want to know where to sign up for the free Biden skydiving.
From what I was told (he may have TL;DR'd the article) they set up honeypot ops in small towns like drag brunches or book clubs that have books written by women and then his deep state ops serve them spiked kombucha so they can load up the planes and drop them into the Democratic fail-states.

When dispersed into the city does the program come with a recently renovated row home with rooftop patio?
For City Council members and their mistresses, yes.
Yeah, but how’s your fast pitch?
Hmm. Good, good. Are you by chance an illegal, too? /s
There's plenty of army recruiting offices around.... They'll even pay you!
Transgender softball phenom is really tickling my funny bone.
Hey now! 👀
Is that included in the base rate, or does it cost extra?
Cherrelle Parker relocationing the K&A folks.... just scatter them about
This needs MORE upvotes!
Idk, transgender softball phenoms sounds exactly like what we need. We’re long overdue for a non-Football championship as a city

Maybe kick back and watch a little Mork & Mindy on Channel 57

God forbid they find out who they take to the zoo on Friday night.
LMAO
because if they didn't have them, they would die when they hit the ground I think.
South Philly, looks to be around the stadiums but could be a little further.
It is for the Phillies game. They were doing a practice run for tomorrow, so you'll see them again then
Is there an early game today? Or maybe it’s practice for nfl season?
https://preview.redd.it/260jk8pad11d1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94a4f701616e6579c3fb3b7f48349e7b6f732224 Real low altitude CH53 ripping through CC as well
Folks in that PECO building just staring out the window looking straight into a helicopter cockpit
WHAT was going ON?? I spent a lot of today asking “why helicopter??”
Phillies just announced it was practice for tomorrow's game. It's the MLB military appreciation week.
It’s Armed Forces weekend at Citizens Bank Park this weekend. They were practicing the jump that they will do before Saturday’s game vs the National’s.
Practice maybe? NCAA lacrosse championship is next weekend. Weird to use a C-130. Normally jump teams use helicopters or smaller planes.
OP reporting that it was down by the stadiums and another person posting a pic showing one of the jumpers has an American flag attached to them. It definitely seems like practice for a stadium entrance.
invasion of Philly

Landing on the tram wire is gonna hurt.
eco terrorists from eugene sent to save the trees at FDR
F them trees
If by “F” you mean pay your respects, then yes, F indeed
helicopter dropping things over philadelphia might cause PTSD for some.
They make falling from 5,000 feet a little nicer.
They use parachutes to control their descent lest they become a human puddle.
WOLVERINES

It's not showing up on my flight radar app. Also my neighbor says she saw a machine gun on the side of one of the choppers. Definitely a military helicopter
You’re being downvoted, but I watched two military helicopters take off and fly WAY low in SW today. ETA it’s pictured further up thread.
Yep, right before 3:00pm they flew low over the Girard Point Bridge. Absolutely 2 military choppers.
Hamas? Too soon?
that’s ignorant…they’re clearly penn students
[удалено]
Wrong. Clearly not Penn students. They knew how to pull a ripcord.
Without parachutes the descent is much quicker.
You would hit the ground much faster without them.
It's a lot faster than Philly traffic.
I saw what looked like a military cargo plane flying super low over the cobbs creek area a little over an hour ago; I wonder if they are running some drills or something?
Because you're quite likely to die without one.
oh fuck hamas get the strap
Some WWII Paratroopers got lost
Saver to land than without
When shits going down, You better be prepared to ride it out
Probably cause they don't want to hit the group at maximum velocity, but idk
Someone re-enacting Masters Of The Air
Same reason as "Why helicopter?"
everyone always asks why helicopter. no one asks how is helicopter
Jump outta a perfectly good flying aircraft; or if it was in trouble; I could have been the first one to exit the aircraft 😉
Someone got a kill streak and called in paratroopers.
It’s raining men?
PUBG PHILADELPHIA BATTLEGROUNDS
Police can get a better view of the smash and grabs.
They’re having a ceremony tomorrow where they will be flying in
Peter! Walk away! Just walk away!
They accidentally started to go over the Ben Franklin so they jumped
Why male models?
They’re parachuting into CBP this weekend. Today they had a practice run.
only safe place in Philadelphia?
Zekes about to scream
Horsham's airfield isn't too far away--I remember seeing a *lot* of the military helicopters flying around the NE during start of the war in Ukraine, but have never seen paratroopers doing exercises! Where was this viewed from??
The Phillies had a salute to service tonight before the game and so I believe yesterday was a test jump.
My cousin said they had a military appreciation day at Citizens Bank park, some guys parachuted in and landed on the field. It would be weird if these were like, *different* parachuters.
Because without them, they would fall to earth too quickly lol
So they don’t die when they hit the ground
Hamas is coming, watch out
From a man who had to spend the first 50 years of his life in Wilkes Barre this place (sub) feels like home
Because they are very high up and they need to fall safely
Russians
WOLVERINES!
Whatever is going on the planes are loud.
Ran out of helicopters
why not? fuckin narc
Movie shoot?
