That it doesn't concern you, doesn't mean other Nigerians doesn't wanna share the information. The sh.it has nothing to do do with hyping. You clear stated hyping not necessarily where the information is shared.

If that's the case, Seun should delete the "Foreign" subgroups on all major categories - from politics, to business, to romance, I mean it should all go. They should be posted to Washington Post, or dollar land or their respective websites...smh

manny4life:

Mid air refueling is what it is - it can refuel at 30,000ft. Preferably, C-130 tanker plane extend their pipes at that certain speed and altitude and begin pumping fuel. This process is very delicate and requires precision in its execution. Most fighter jets refuel in mid air

The air-tankers are KC-35's an aging fleet to be replaced shortly (that battle is raging between Boeing and Airbus). But they typically drop airspeed and thus altitude to between 10 and 20 to engage.

What I would like to know is who is in charge of security once on board, the Secret Service or the Airforce cos I assume once on board all firearms borne by civilians must be under lockdown.

Reference:

The air-tankers are KC-35's an aging fleet to be replaced shortly (that battle is raging between Boeing and Airbus). But they typically drop airspeed and thus altitude to between 10 and 20 to engage.

What I would like to know is who is in charge of security once on board, the Secret Service or the Airforce cos I assume once on board all firearms borne by civilians must be under lockdown.

That's why I said preferably, I don't know what tankers they use, but I've heard it on few aeronautical resources is that they are a modified C-130 tankers unless if its the newer ones. It's obvious Boeing is gonna win - Boeing to North America and Airbus to Europe.

FL100 to 200 is too low and clearly visible to engage in such mission, besides, traffic pattern will not permit such. IMO, that FL is very low, however, I can research to find out but believe me, it's more than FL 300 and above. The reason why I said it's more than that because after FL 300 and above, almost all commercial flights do not reach that level except long distance or international cruise... The FL is safer for reaction in case of emergencies, and all other things.

The Secret Service by default are the official personnel who are to guard the president, and are the only personnel permitted to carry a weapon around Mr President. Therefore, IMO, it's the secret service, but the military will have operation of supervision of flight and other security other than the president

Before airforce one lands , there is always another jet that does land for the past 2 years. It got a nickname.

leslieu63: the airforce one can be shot down with a fighter jet.

@leslieu63, while nothing is impossible, some things are near impossible, you may like to read over the post again.

Symphony007: The nigerian version of airforce one is called "eagle one" it's a boening jet. It's not really big. It has modest furnishing. Finally, i don't think with all the problems in this country a luxury jumbo jet should be the least of our priyorities.


Hey Beaf,Billiomnaire,sincere,Taharqa.. etc.
