Russia to Conduct ‘Observation Flight’ Over U.S.
2014-12-09
(MSN) – In an attempt to promote transparency in military activities between the two countries, Russia will conduct an observation flight over the United States as part of the Treaty on Open Skies between Dec. 8 and Dec. 13, Sergei Ryzhkov, head of Russia’s National Nuclear Risk Reduction Center, said Monday.

The flight will be launched from Travis Air Force Base in California and cover a maximum range of 2,640 miles. A group of U.S. specialists
Chosen by whom?
will also board the Russian aircraft to monitor the flight and to ensure that norms of the treaty are not violated. According to the U.S. Department of State, the Treaty on Open Skies allows 34 participating countries to carry out observation flights over each other’s territories to gather information through aerial imaging on military forces and activities that are of concern to them.

#5  Another reason for mainstream America = Amerika to cross its fingers, pray hard, + hope the OWG Globalists didn't miscalculate, as per directly or indirectly helping the IRAN = MUSLIM WORLD to Nuclearize, Modernize-n-Weaponize, vee righteous Best Frenemys Forevar! OWG Global Federal Unions + "Multiculturalism-n-Diversity",

SEVEN OWG GLOBAL FEDERAL UNIONS ON SEVEN KNOWN CONTINENTS, at least for starters, all in idyllic GEOPOL + MILITARY, "US-STYLE" PARITY.

Because everybody knows Allan desires parity wid any + all Non-Islam, N-O-T superiority or dominance.

GUAM-WESTPAC = OWG AMERIKA [Mighty USSA-vs-Weak USRoA Global SSR] = DEMAND TO DETER CHINA + IRAN, ETAL. + NUKULAAR HARD BOYZ BY BEING BOMBED BY VLAD = RUSSIA-N-ONLY-RUSSIA!

#4  I was stationed at Travis AFB in the mid 80's. Watching the C-5's come in for landing was awesome. They looked like they were just hanging in mid air and not even moving.

#3  Just like the old USMLM (Smell'em) days, you'll only see what they WANT you to see. If you go beyond the sign, they will shoot you. Welcome back to the future....that we really never left.

U.S. specialists, the ones without parachutes, having Russian hospitality, (drinking Vodka = little water) having been carefully chosen for their visual acuity to monitor the flight, not one a pilot, and to ensure that norms of the treaty, not one a diplomatic lawyer, are not violated.
