    well, if you drive up state road 31 and have some Binos, you can see a NATO labeled AWAC sitting on the tarmac. Curious why a NATO plane would be there for "routine Maintenance" in the middle of Indiana, much less the middle of the USA...

    I'm curious too.....but not so curious that I'll be emerging from my crawl space before I'm sure the NWO radar plane is gone.

    They sure do have a fancy paint job on that aircraft. It's a long way from Geilenkirchen, Germany too. NATO has Radar feeds to NORAD, I wouldn't spin up too many conspiracy theories. Not over 5 or 6 anyway.

    Maybe because the US is a member nation of NATO? And it's very probably a USAF plane which is detailed to NATO.

    I would like to see that buzzing overhead while driving down SR35 between Galveston and Walton.
    They come right over the top of you:)
    Extra cool at night

    Don't take offense. People just wanted to see a picture because NATO AWAC sighting is pretty rare in these parts. Nothing to do with whether they believed the report.

    . Thank you for posting the picture, the bona fides of my friend that gave me the intel were good enough for me. Seems there is less trust without pictures, so sorry if you need pictures to along with the words...

    I never doubted you. I tossed up the pic in jest of redtbird's call for pics. semper fi.

    Lessee, Grissom Air Reserve Base houses KC-135 tankers - Boeing 707s; the pictured NATO AWACS aircraft appears to be the E-3 model; also a Boeing 707. "Scheduled maintenance" could be euphemistic for "engine failure/engine change."
