UC-880 was a former FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) training aircraft purchased in 1961 (airframe #22-7-3-55). Flight Systems purchased the FAA 880-22M in 1980, for use at Naval Test Center-Patuxent River, it was used to test refueling of F-14D and F/A-18 aircraft, and other aircraft used during cruise missile testing.

More scientific data is being released concerning what is called breakthrough infections and deaths; fully vaccinated people getting sick and even dying. It’s more than the government/main stream news media will admit too, if at all. Here’s an incomplete list of videos and links to studies/reports, as of 01NOV2021:
Video report, by Doctor John Campbell, expressing amazement that some national governments are not tracking ‘breakthrough’ cases, especially since local governments, like the state of Connecticut, and scientific studies are proving that severe illness is happening after vaccination. Also reveals that healthcare providers are B-S-ing about ‘aspiration’ of needles, still doing vaccinations wrong:
CANADA: Health officials are actually confused by breakthrough infections, even ‘double vaccinated’ people are getting infected:
INDIA: More cases of breakthrough infections, Hyderabad reports 10% of infections are in fully vaccinated people:
22OCT2021, International Antiviral Society–United States of America (ISA-USA) doctors conduct a boring video discussion about their frustrations with the misinformation/confusing information given by the news media, and even government officials, about Pandemic data:
North Carolina: TV station WCNC interviews doctor who says if you already had two doses of vaccine and you get infected anyway, then there is no reason to get a booster shot:
“The original Bonhomme Richard Sailors gave their all to prevail against seemingly impossible odds, and they won. They taught us that you don’t always save the ship, but you never stop fighting. The reputation of that fighting spirit began to proceed our Navy wherever we sailed and that same spirit persists today.”-Rear Admiral Philip Sobeck, Expeditionary Strike Group Three, 14APR2021
USN video by Mass Communication Specialist Third Class Cosmo Walrath, removal of Traffic Control Tower due to structural instability, 04MAR2021:
LHD-6 is the third USN ship to carry the name Bonhomme Richard, it had a short but busy life. Commissioned on 15AUG1998, besides the usual training and humanitarian missions, LHD-6 took part in Operations Stabilize, Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and Unified Assistance.
On its death bed, the crew celebrates the 22nd ‘birthday’ of LHD-6, on 14AUG2021. USN photo by Mass Communication Specialist Third Class Cosmo Walrath.
The first Bonhomme Richard was the ex-French armed cargo ship Duc de Duras. The French ‘loaned’ it to the newly created United States in 1779, to help with the Revolutionary War against the British Empire. The now famous John Paul Jones changed the name to Bonhomme Richard, which was the pseudonym for Benjamin Franklin. It was this USS Bonhomme Richard that Rear Admiral Philip Sobeck was referring to in the quote from 14APR2021.

On 14APR2021, a private decommissioning ceremony for LHD-6 was held at Naval Base San Diego, California (the official date of decommissioning is 15APR2021). It will be scrapped in Brownsville, Texas. The estimated cost to rebuild the ship is the reason, more than $3-billion, far more than the original build cost and almost as much as a brand new latest technology assault ship.
The USN used the Pandemic as an excuse as to why the decommissioning was not a public event: “Due to public health and safety concerns related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the ceremony will be limited in attendance by invitation only.”-U.S. Pacific Fleet statement, 07APR2021
The amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LPH-10) ships-out of Naval Station Subic Bay, Philippines, sailing for Operation Desert Shield/Storm. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer’s Mate Senior Chief Petty Officer McColley.
On 18FEB1991, the United States Ship (USS) Tripoli (aka Tripoli-2) LPH-10 (not to be confused with the new LHA-7 Tripoli) struck an Iraqi mine while sailing the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. Four crewmembers were injured, and the Tripoli went into drydock for repairs.
This U.S. Navy photo claims to show the Tripoli being tugged into a dry dock in Bahrain, after the mine incident, however the date on the photo is two weeks prior to the incident. Photo by Journalist First Class Petty Officer Joe Gawlowicz.
Tripoli was sailing (news reports conflict, some say Tripoli was the flagship for a minesweeping operation while others say only specialized minesweepers conduct such operations, USN sources say Tripoli was acting as a “mine clearing platform”) along with USS Princeton, both hit mines. Tripoli was hit first, early in the morning before dawn (again conflicting times, some reports say 04:36, others say 04:40), two to three hours later Princeton was hit. The ships were more than 60 miles apart when they hit mines. Both ships were able to continue under their own power (one report says it took the crew of Tripoli seven hours to restore power).
As the water is drained from the dock, the damage is revealed. USN photo by Journalist First Class Petty Officer Joe Gawlowicz.

The U.S. Army’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) Chemical and Biological Technologies Department has joined with University of California San Diego’s (UCSD) Department of NanoEngineering, and with a company called Zhang Lab (led by Liangfang Zhang, professor of nanoengineering at UCSD), to study the use of nanosponges in humans.
The DTRA claims that test tube (invitro) testing showed that nanosponges could capture 90% of viruses invading your body. Nanosponges are biodegradable polymers wrapped by the membrane of ‘target cells’, once released in your body they are expected to trick the invading virus into thinking it is one of your cells and it attempts to infect it but gets stuck. Essentially the nanosponge is a nano-Tar Baby.
Welcome to borderland hell under the new U.S. President, highly incomplete list of videos and links to news/government agency reports as of 26 October 2021:

On 15OCT2021, the crew of USCG Cutter Legare offloads illegal drugs, captured in the Eastern Pacific, in Miami Beach. Cutter Legare (WMEC 912) is based in Virginia, but was deployed for an eight week drug interdiction operation in the Eastern Pacific. More than 1-thousand-3-hundred pounds of illegal drugs were captured.

On 18OCT2021, the U.S. Coast Guard captured 11 illegals from Dominican Republic. They were returned to Dominican Republic on 20OCT2021.
On 19OCT2021, the U.S. Coast Guard captured four Mexicans illegally fishing in U.S. territorial water. The four fishermen caught nearly 2-hundred pounds of Red Snapper.

Back in March of 2021, the gov’na announced Operation Lone Star, on 14OCT2021 the Texas National Guard was mobilized to send personnel to ‘high threat areas’!
Adverse reactions to pandemic vaccines are worse than what the healthcare industry/government is admitting to, people are permanently injured, and even dying from the vaccines! Watch the videos and click on the links, just the tip of the Pandemic perfidy iceberg.
The above image is from a United Nations World Health Organization ‘slide’, part of their Vaccine Safety Basics e-learning course. Can you understand what “Severe reactions include serious reactions but also include other severe reactions” means? Supposedly this is an attempt by the UN-WHO to clarify the difference between severe and serious reactions, but yet it essentially lumps them all together!
22OCT2021, WDIV in Michigan, reports on woman’s death due to J&J vaccine. The irony is that the woman did not want to get vaccinated, but felt forced to in order to keep her job:
21OCT2021, Doctor John Campbell interviews Idaho pro-mountain biker who is suffering from Pericarditis, POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and other life threatening problems after getting second dose of vaccine, was initially told by Idaho doctors he was literally crazy:
In the United States, if you have had, or suspect you’ve had and adverse reaction to a vaccine it is up to you, not your healthcare provider, to report it. Contact the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
13JUL2021, TV station WXIA, in Georgia, forces the U.S. government to finally reveal vaccine injury data:
28JUN2021, Philippines government insurance PhilHeath begins compensating victims of adverse reactions, admits that people are dying from the Pandemic vaccines:
One year ago (08OCT2020) WXIA warned that the government was trying to make it harder to report adverse events, or to qualify for the Vaccine Injury Program:
A year before the Pandemic (03APR2019) Dartmouth college held a one hour discussion about the legal games of the vaccine injured persons reporting system in the United States:

Tupolev 95, NATO reporting name Bear, in the mid-1950s the prototype/early production was called Tupolev 20. From official Soviet silent film, Tu-20s make a quick overfly of a parade in Moscow (the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics did not like publicly displaying their bombers, especially new bombers), 1957:
Bear-As were bombers and did not have refueling probes. Bear-B/Cs were bombers with refueling probes and could carry early style cruise missiles. Bear Ds were long rang maritime reconnaissance aircraft with radar bulges under chin and belly. Bear Es were also recon aircraft, with the tail gun replaced by electronic sensors. Bear-G/H carried cruise missiles and had a differently shaped radar bulge under its chin.

2018 USAF video, Little Rock Air Force Base does short history of B-47:
The Trucking and Bus Regulation is supposedly about the environmental impact of semi-trucks and busses, but there is another law known as AB5 (aka Gig Worker Law), it is the law that caused so much problems with home delivery service operations, such as Uber and Door Dash. On 05OCT2021, the Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear a challenge brought by a shipping company to California’s Assembly Bill 5 (AB5). The shipping company relies on what federal law calls ‘owner-operator’ truck drivers. There is another pending lawsuit by a different shipping company waiting to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
19OCT2021, Mid-West truck driver posts video showing huge warehouse with plenty of open loading docks while at the same time truckers are being told they have to wait to unload, the result creates domino effect causing truckers to miss or cancel their next pick-ups, also, trucks are being refused entry for piddly paperwork reasons. Pay attention to the amount of open/not in use loading docks at this massive warehouse/distribution center:
Federal Department of Transportation (DoT) rules governing the trucking industry basically apply to truck drivers who cross state lines (interstate commerce), truck drivers who do not only have to comply with state laws.
