    Nice vid! My dad worked for EG&G for 29 years until his branch was bought out by Bechtel and I thought I might add what very little about bricks that I know. Us locals are used to seeing those planes and we just refer to them as "Test site planes" and my dad has been on a couple of them to Yucca mountain, a nuclear storage facility. Also, for those employees who are not fond of flying, have the choice of riding unmarked test site buses that leave from NorthWest Las Vegas right off the I-95 and Craig exit.
    I hope this information on bricks doesn't make the internet explode. Cheers!

      Didn't you watch? Bricks come in different sizes depending on where you live. In the U.S. they come in the size of 7 5/8 * 3 5/8 * 2 1/4 inches while in Australia they come in 9 x 4 1/3 x 3 inches.

    I remember eating breakfast in my car in the Jack in the box parkinglot next to Las Vegas airport early morning and watching the planes fly off. All planes would fly straight forward after takeoff but this one plane quickly turned right after leaving ground and I noticed the red lines and realized it was a JANET plane. I could for a breif second see aliens inside the airplane cabin and I believe they were holding bricks.

    Have you ever heard of Evergreen International Airlines? My dad flew for them for 20 years. He had signed an NDA so he never really spoke much about what they used to do, but he has told me some. After he resigned he dealt with some inner turmoil and confessed some of the stuff they were involved with, but he told me everything was so compartmentalized that he didn’t find out until after what he was transporting or who he was flying.

    I flew on one of those planes while in the Marine Corps. We left from March Airfield in California and landed in Kuwait City after making stops in Bangor Maine and Shannon Ireland. I actually have a picture of the plane. I remember looking at the plane and observing that it looked like a commercial flight, but I'd never seen such a paint scheme on a commercial flight. I think they are just used for government employee transport in general.

      Best answer so far. There's another curious operator that flies a bizjet. On querying the tail number it's not operated by the USAF, instead a little company based in the vicinity of Langley, Virginia. Often seen at Prestwick airport, Scotland, refuelling after an Atlantic crossing, it's believed to carry those about to undergo 'special rendition'.

  • @MearsFL
    @MearsFL Před 5 lety +1

    (long story of when I think I saw a Janet plane before)
    So a few years ago when I was in the boy scouts me and a handful of other scouts went to Hurlbert Field AFB in Fort Walton Beach Florida to work on the aeronautics Merit Badge (our troop was mostly kids of people who worked there including my dad) after learning how to plot a flight plan on aeronautic maps and doing a preflight checklist on an actual AC-130 we got to go into the control tower. It was extremely cool but we were told that we couldn't take pictures or interfere with anything, we got to learn the procedure that planes took while landing, how the tower got their weather information, and how the tower communicated with planes. It was a once and a lifetime experience that has made me want to peruse a career as a pilot. Long story short, while we were in the tower I can clearly remember a white jet plane with a red stripe landing and taxing to one of the hangers. We were told it was a high ranking Air Force person visiting the base. I can't remember the exact title because it's been a while but I am 83% sure it was one of those 737s.
    Why TF did you read all that, anyways have a good day!

    When my dad was in the Air Force, the last two years before he retired he flew on those Janet planes, I saw them all the time when I lived in Vegas. I used my brothers telescope to visually track them for a little bit after they turned off their transponders (about five minutes)

    I worked for Honeywell als in Kingman Az and worked on the wheels and brakes for these planes. When the van that would bring the parts that needed refurbishing dropped them off, two guys would get out of the van, wearing dark sun glasses and black military outfits carrying m16s. A third guy would get out, pull the parts off the van, they would get back in and drive off. We were told NOT to go out while they were there or we would be shot on the spot. The only way I knew what they looked like is because our dock door had a tinted glass slot window where they could be watched only if you were lucky enough to Catch them at right time. This wasn't hard to do because they would call and tell you that there was a two hour window of when they would be there to deliver the parts. The planes were 737-200 planes.

    This was a very interesting videos about bricks to be honest , never knew they changed sizes that much.
    But I'm honestly curious about what happens if you made a giant brick, a few thousand feet across and tried to measure it only by walking around. How much would it take for someone to measure it on all 4 sides could we see the end? Im pretty sure we could use markers or cameras to track how long it would take to reach certain points along it

  • @davidhoffman1278
    @davidhoffman1278 Před 6 lety +3

    Several years ago I read about these flights. The rumors about them were interesting.
    1. All the seating was supposedly a government version of the four across first class seating used by airlines.
    2. The passengers(employees) could have all the non-alcoholic beverages they might want at no charge. The variety they could choose from was said to be as good as the best an airline would have.
    3. These employees had a cafeteria with some significantly subsidized food. The beef steaks and roasts were a favorite. Lots of baked, broiled, grilled, poached, and steamed shrimp and fish dishes. All at huge discounts from average restaurant prices.
    4. The registration number or serial number markings you can see on the exterior of the aircraft are sometimes changed. Aircraft seemingly "disappear" and are seemingly replaced by "other" very similar aircraft. Sometimes multiple aircraft have identical visible numbers. It is how the "same" aircraft can be in multiple locations at the same time. Only a few people with the need to know have the true information about the number and types of aircraft in the fleet.

      I have no further questions.
      ...Sorry, that garbled nonsense must have been written by someone else. Maybe Tessa Thompson or Will Smith, who knows. All I remember is being told that it wasn't me who wrote the nonsense about some random basement near the Battery.
