Rain was on its way today so the chem boys were really busy in Maine. Complete white out (and no rain). I was near Portland Int. Airport and saw a military jet with the numbers/letters JW and below it four digits - I believe it was 5413. I saw a post that I couldn't find that told how to indentify these. I can't say that this particular jet was involved (sorry)but given the amount of chemming done today I am suspicious. It had the white star in a blue circle and red and white small banner under the star. It appeared to be all white or grayish.

Well by golly, It would appear that is the very jet I saw. Well I saw two land but could only get the details on one. 3T3L1, was this jet just a wild goose chase or what? Good work though whatever it is; I was surprised to see that photo for sure!

Is this a C130?C130's are involved with spraying for mosquitos and moths, but this is limited and low-level spraying.

I cannot tell a lie. The "find" of the aircraft was made by Chickiedeb over at the Debunkers' site. I merely posted the pic over here.
