I have no doubts that there are high level talks in the upper echelons wanting to maximize their interests and shore up their personal security before they pull the plug on what they recognize increasingly as a huge liability; you and me..... the overpopulated and over consuming masses of the worlds poor and middle class. We will one day be sacrificed as these upper echelons attempt self preservation.

Recently, I've noticed an increase in odd aircraft in my area. Grand Junction, Colorado is about half way between Denver and Salt Lake City. About 250 miles to either one. There are no military facilities or training areas within 250 miles. The only reason for military aircraft presence is an FBO at Grand Junction Regional Airport that has a contract to service transient US Navy Aircraft. Regular appearances of transient F/A-18's have been the norm for the last 15 years since I've lived here. But nothing else.
In April, there was a report in a Durango newspaper about low level night flights of military aircraft:

Durango is about 180 miles south of Grand Junction. The aircraft in the photo is an MC-130H. Not an aircraft normally associated with "search and rescue" missions (as quoted by the air crew member) since it is equipped for and used exclusively for Air Force Special Operations missions.
Also of interest are regular appearances of a USN E-6B Mercury doing 'touch-and-go" flight patterns around Grand Junction Regional Airport.
Another odd local sighting was the appearance of a RAF Puma HC Mk 2 aboard a USAF C-17.

The story states that the Puma was brought here for testing at the high elevation and high temperature environment. This makes no sense for an aircraft that has been in service for 20+ years with the RAF. Another reason this story stinks is the lack of any military facilities anywhere near. The two closest military installations are Buckley AFB near Denver (about 230 miles to the east) and Hill AFB in Ogden, UT (about 250 miles to the west).
But the strangest sighting yet wasn't a military aircraft, but an unmarked 767 that showed up sometime today at GJRA. Pics were taken about 8 pm MDT. Aircraft arrived sometime before 3pm and as of 12am on 7-14-15, was still on the Tarmac.
It appears that Vision Airlines is the new 'Air America' in support of shadowy operations around the world. The Boeing 767 in the pic taken at Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT) is part of the Vision Airlines fleet. Vision Airlines states on their website that "Vision Airlines is currently not offering commercial travel".

N661CS has been a busy plane for an airline that isn't accepting any bookings. (See article for global plane tracker sightings.)
