Kinja'd!!!

Flying around O’hare. Turn the clock back a year and find this: four big, scary, maybe-nuclear-armed hornets. Just chillin’ in a civilian airport. Just off screen was a Globemaster. I’m sure this is not that strange, but still, was a helluva surprise.

Or just transient military aircraft on the way to or from the AOR or a training exercise... But probably nukes at a civilian airport.

yeah hornets aren;t going to carry a nuclear payload unless shit has gone completely off the rails. Wait a second.....*checks newspaper*, Trump is president, oh fuck....hold on to your butts.

It’s pretty common. Even BNA/Nashville has a few sitting around.

They could be National Guard aircraft. CLT has a whole hangar of those guys.
