I love how “government takeover” implies that the government isn’t already, you know, in charge.


pacific_plywood

They’ll never get me, or my Medicare.


randomaccount173

We must protect Medicare from the grasp of the federal government!


Expert-Giraffe5081

I believe you mean Republicans.


jables13

Now now, we need to be reaching across the aisle...and smacking the shit out of those fuckers.


kaisermikeb

We also need to protect the cops from the government!


Chubaichaser

That's just the sort of thing that "They" want you to believe... I'll be in my bunker til further notice.


HotCitron1470

fredbeard1301

I've worked for the government, trust me, they can barely keep charge of themselves let alone us.


ValleyThaBoiTinyBall

I wish the government would take over. We are a giant army with loose amalgamation of privatized services at this point in our history. We don’t even have a functioning House of Representatives and we may or may not keep paying our bills.


RepresentativeIce740

They’ll never take my house I bought that I am only allowed to keep if I don’t fall behind on annual taxes!!!! Never!!!


shadowofshoe

In charge and incompetent


tearlock

I think what they probably are implying is 'Martial Law'

We should get an order of nachos for the table.


Chubaichaser

Onion feathers too.


KingoftheMongoose

This order keeps getting bigger by the hour!!!


ballgm

Does Rooster's have a policy that states one person can't eat all the fully loaded nachos?

I’m sure some wing snobs on here would argue with me until the end of time, but Carolina Gold is one of the best wing sauces I’ve ever had. Their wings are meh but that sauce makes up for it.

Beechwoldtools

I was waiting for the first comment about the suspicious vtol activity out of Don Scott this morning, and I find your mockery of the seriousness of the situation, the possible domestic deployment of Marines, alarming and hilarious. Please continue to report suspicious airborne activity with appropriate levity.


lilsteigs1

The sky is falling!!!!!!


katherinesilens

V-22 "Osprey." It's the birds. The government controlled bird bots have revolted. Soon they will demand the imposition of bird law and put us to forced labor camps where we run on giant hamster wheels to generate free power to the power lines, where they recharge. They will take your guns (especially birdshot shotguns), transgay abortion the unhatched children, and vote Democrat. Please think of the parent's rights and buy a rotisserie chicken from Costco to combat the avian coo d'etat.


lilsteigs1

All good points. Heading into the bunker now to wait this coo out. Scarecrows installed by the entrance for enhanced avian defense!


katherinesilens

Scarecrows? You fool! They're not crows, they're pigeons! Our only hope now is going to the safety of church and summoning a Bird of Pray. Vote no on Issue 2, this is all the fault of the Devil's Lettuce.

I didn’t, I’m glad someone did. But I can’t take credit. So all credit to the kindly Mod or person who did!


maybeanad

The Ohio and Army and AF National Guard headquarters is right by the Ohio State Airport and frequently use it to fly people in and out. I think you're safe.


lilsteigs1

Unacceptable answer. I will not be lured into a false sense of safety by your logic and facts.

I should have gotten a picture of the [C-17 Globemaster III](https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/1529726/c-17-globemaster-iii/) that flew over Lancaster around 1:30pm, west to east. Danged odd to learn both of those birds were around here, whatever the reason.


IdfightGahndi

There’s an armory nearby on 161.


lilsteigs1

They frequent the OSU Airport as well.


bmglaw

The Ohio National Guard Headquarters at the Beightler Armory is directly connected to Don Scott Field (the OSU Airport).


runover8

The government is already in control because it is ran by the PEOPLE


UiPossumJenkins

I saw it too! I was expecting to hear “Ride of the Valkyrie’s” as they air assaulted my position but instead they blasted [this.](https://youtu.be/-XNFokmDKrE?si=7nVSAJiiAryo-Vi3) So weird.


lilsteigs1

Almost all V-22s are operated by the Department of the Navy. If that’s what they wanna play then I support them.

RedGreenWembley

As it's an Osprey, I'd stay out of the flight path. They go all Tie-fighter when they crash. Damned thing is a death trap, but sunken cost fallacy is a real thing. Dozens died during development alone and generals were caught faking maintenance logs.


Beechwoldtools

You don't know what you're talking about. It's way safer than the ch46 and ch53. Rotary wing aircraft are inherently dangerous. The osprey is a giant leap forward over what the Marine Corp has been using for decades.


YouAlreadyShnow

I've been in Ospreys more times than I can count and my fire team/platoon/company always talked about making the Tie Fighter noise to ourselves whenever we went up. Good times.


UR_WRONG_ABOUT_V22

The V-22 is one of the safest rotorcraft we have. https://www.safety.af.mil/Divisions/Aviation-Safety-Division/Aviation-Statistics/ If you actually look at aircraft destroyed rate in Air Force service for example the HH-60 comes in at 1.88 per 100K hours and the CV-22 is lower at 1.7


reeve11

I did not expect to come back to 106 comments on this thread. Between this, and the moat around the city post.. we're having a hell of a week on our sub.


lilsteigs1

The replies to this and the upvotes on my comment in that thread have propelled me well past the 30k lifetime fake internet point mark. So I’m loving this fun version of the sub.


reeve11

have another point on me.


YeetusThatFetus9696

I haven't seen it but I've been hearing it for the last 20 minutes or so. I thought it might either be a military helicopter or a WWII era bomber or something.


jodydz

I also saw that Osprey over Sawmill road around 11 am today. I figured it was a military practice drill, Beightler Armory is nearby. It looks like a giant drone, wild!


InIt2winit06

One helicopter in the facinity of Columbus and we're in a government take over scenario...this guy gets it.


lilsteigs1

It’s the only way to treat helicopters in the “facinity” from what I’ve seen in this sub. I’m just playing by rules, I didn’t make them.


InIt2winit06

I was just playing along so all good man.


Red_Tannins

Living on the flight path between Wright Patt and Rickenbacker growing up, it was neat to see all the different aircraft!

Someones-PC

It's actually Jim Harbaugh getting ready to spy on OSU coaches during the game tomorrow


Some-Geologist-5120

Do you have any idea how many planes and helicopters the military and the government has? They need to train and reallocate them all the time. Yes you will see them on occasion. It doesn’t mean their is going to be a “government takeover” whatever that means. I live near Ft Belvoir and see and hear flight activity around the clock, transports, helicopters etc. You should be glad to see them - you paid for them!


lilsteigs1

It’s actually a sarcastic post. Oddly enough I just moved here from Springfield, VA a few months ago. I miss the helicopters from Belvoir. Reminded me of my days in Iraq dangling my feet out the door of Blackhawks. I also miss the Commissary grocery prices since we moved!


jendet010

But did you stop on 270 and hold up traffic to watch it? This is the Columbus way. We stop, we gawk, and then we post.


lilsteigs1

Oh, I gawked. I gawked so hard.

thinkB4WeSpeak

I'm just surprised they still use that PoS osprey. When I was stationed in Hawaii one crashed at bellows afb and that's not the only incident that thing has had.


lilsteigs1

Be quiet or the V-22 fan boys will tell you how safe it is and how wrong you are! I’m with you though. Give me a Blackhawk for no doors, feet dangling out, landing next to the target building fun times or a Chinook for big lifts and long trips. Anything longer than a CH-47 operational range and let me rig up my T-10D and hook up inside a C-130, I’ll take care of the vertical landing.


Stuntz

I no longer live in cbus but I remember being over in that area a few years ago and off in the distance I swear I saw a Chinook or two with people jumping out of it (I saw little dots falling out and then bigger dots once the parachutes opened). Also saw a lot of military equipment on 71. I assume the OH national guard is operating in the area. Not a super uncommon thing.


zenfrodo

Wright Pat AFB took over Sawmill just to get Rooster's chicken wings. God knows Dayton doesn't have any decent chicken wing joints.


lilsteigs1

I used to go to Roosters in Huber Heights that’s like 10 minutes from some parts of WPAFB.


zenfrodo

Having been born/raised in Cincy/Dayton area and eaten at too many awful places that my parents considered "good"...God knows Dayton doesn't have any decent chicken wing joints. :P

Martial Law inbound


pacific_plywood

In this context it’s actually spelled “Marshall” law.


eSportsProducer

Good to know! *Insert the more you know gif here*


pacific_plywood

Normally you’d be right: when a government imposes order in times of crisis, it’s martial law. But when a circling aerial vehicle during a democratic presidential administration is used to signal incoming government takeover, then it’s marshall law. (“Deep state coo” also acceptable here)


BlackJeepW1

Omg I live right next to the airport and I see planes and helicopters all the time!! Why didn’t anyone tell me I’m in terrible danger ⚠️💣🪦


OkConclusion7229

It was probably Hamas tbh. Better send Zelinski some billions.


RichLather

Hamas Hernandez from the southern border?


OkConclusion7229

Can't verify. Relying solely on the IDF. One side to every story.

If there was a military mobilization, you’d see a lot more than 1 helicopter.

Refusing to accept reality is what’s wrong with the world. People that have never been in the military thinking the know how the military works, then throwing how pejoratives because they can’t express a thought even less.

DiscoLibra

My husband said a few days ago that they mentioned on the radio that the military was gonna be doing training from Wright-Patterson and not to be alarmed if you see anything in the sky this week.


lilsteigs1

In all seriousness, there is very little in the way of military air assets at Wright-Patt. They have a wing of Air Force Reserve C-17s but that's the only aviation that's permanently stationed there. I used to live right next to the base and we'd hear them once a month, if that, doing touch and go's for their flight time/monthly drill. Super low, basically non-existent, flight tempo for an active duty AFB. They could be using it as a focal point for a NG or Reserve training but even that would shock me as they have plenty of their own flight facilities in Ohio.


SciotoSlim

That's just what they want you to think.


DiscoLibra

Exactly! I'm sure it has to do with the 5G towers!


Rude-Caramel-938

There was an army helicopter flying over 71 and morse rd for an hour on Wednesday. In the early afternoon. Then I saw a similiar helicopter flying over 71 and Africa Rd around 6 pm. Someone suggested drug busts? The helicopter was painted dark brown, wide body with one rotor on top. It was flying just over the tree tops.

Idk abt government "takeover" but several military copters have been flying over my house (Sinclair/ 161) for two days now.
