I am making another thread about the previously discussed POTUS trip to Vandenberg AFB. If I read and understood correctly: If POTUS was going to view something, it must be new. But why Vandenberg and not Palmdale or somewhere else? I saw the runway get mentioned... did it fly? I also saw mentions of a needed long runway for a fastmover, and launching straight over the ocean would indicate sight sensitivity. If I misread or misunderstood please correct me, and if anyone has anything else to share please do so (of course without compromising anything or saying more than you should).
- POTUS was going to Vandenberg during a trip to Santa Barbra
- The purpose of the visit was to view something (an aircraft?)
- The 'something' (aircraft?) is for the NRO
- Has a connection to "NAWS..." (China Lake?)
Side question: why doesn't the navy have a "black project carrier" or a classified carrier team of sorts that flies new technology straight from the ocean? Would that not be the best location from prying eyes??
