Is this the false flag for bombing Iran again? Just remember that the head of Mossad is currently in DC conferring with Trump.

Suspicious seeing that just a few hours ago, three RAF airbases were on lockdown with their sirens blaring.
A practice run for something?

Portions of national radar are also off-line now. Rogue AI agents?

I'm not saying this is related, but this hasn't been a good week for AI. Posted two days ago:

This is probably not a practice run because of the nationwide nature of the NOTAM.
Were the Israelis involved?
Possibly.
Israel wants the US to continue its bankrupting war against the 93m people of Iran.
Recall that the Israelis fed Dummkopf Trumpf a false threat about Iran targeting AF1 with a MANPADS in super-secure Ankara at the NATO Summit.
Every counterintelligence agent and threat analyst on the planet would have known that the Iranians would never dishonor their neighbor and trading partner Turkiye with such a brazen scheme on their soil.
But Dummkopf Trumpf and Tulsi "I'm not in a cult" Gabbard culled the USIC of its experts and so the WH fell for Bibi's trap, forcing the poltroon to hide in a hot dog cart when he left Ankara.

Definitely Trump shenanigans. This reeks of an upcoming false flag and Stephen Miller.

This reeks. Either this is some shenanigans by the Trump Administration or else shenanigans caused by America's enemies in direct response to aggressive actions by the Trump Administration. In either case, it has Trump's fingerprints all over it.

It's weird that only Domestic flights are grounded. I guess that's a segregates system from International? Hmmm. I wonder if this is related to ICE disappearing immigrants who take domestic flights, but not international flights.

Tanker just turns and crashes into cruiseship docked.
Just watching the overhead imagery of that tanker turning directly at is was frightening.

@16 Canadian flights to the US are affected.
Canadian press is reporting this NOTAM is a "technological problem" in the US.
No press releases from NORAD, our joint US-Canadian military alliance.
So much winning.

What do I know, I'm only 62, but I never recall this kind of stuff happening before Trump and before DOGE got its hooks into the government computers and FAA csoftware. I'd like to be wrong, though. Jump in and make corrections if needed.

It happened on 9/11. All flights were grounded for at least a few days after the attack from what I remember.

Reminder a couple of months ago our fleet of air tankers fled like their asses were on fire from a base in England
then earlier this week more planes bravely ran away from another English base
Now this
Iran sent a couple of drones at US bases in the gulf yesterday in response to our ongoing attacks
Iran has been threatening an ever-expanding area of attack that includes our bases in Europe.
Seems to me this is linked to Iran
But who knows
Good thing we can trust our government

Re 7 You may be close to the truth.
Because as a technician I don't believe in coincidences.
I've worked on FAA equipment. There is a reason it's been difficult and expensive to upgrade. I would not touch anything without an FAA tech present as a witness that it was working when I left. And preferably one of my own techs to my witness my work too.

It was either the AI upgrade or a cyberattack.
I'd prefer it be the upgrade.

I just heard a private jet take off from the small airport near me.
Wonder if small airports are exempt.

Or just corrupt incompetence because some AI investor/donor got him to install a traffic control system that wasn't properly designed and tested.
