That was supposed to be the joke. All I had read was the headline at that time and thought it was an Afghan commercial flight.

My bad. I edited. I hadn't even had my morning coffee yet.

That’s the US military designation for the Bombardier Global Express.

Yeah it's just the military variant that's been pimped out.

Poli Board says it’s a USAF ISR plane that Taliban shot down with an Iranian supplier MANPAD. I believe the Poli Board for once.

Nor is it Ariana Afghan Airlines. Nor is it 83 passengers.

The 737 has become the new assault rifle

Imagine being an American on that flight. Surviving... only to wake up and see you were rescued by the .... Taliban


Would prefer it over dying. With Trump in office he would likely get you home

Maybe a US military plane. Would support the interest from the Taliban.

Lucianne.com reports a crashed US military jet in Afghanistan. See my earlier post.

Are there any reports of bodies? Clearly not 83. I’m curious if the pilots may have crashed landed and escaped or something?

This is weird how things went silent. Multiple news agencies were reporting about this earlier in the morning. Now, I can’t seem to find any reports. Seems like a very strange situation. Also, what are these planes used for? A guy at work who is former military said he flew that type of plane in and out of Afghan.

1. There's such a thing as Afghan Airlines?
2. Who in the right mind would fly on an Afghan airline? What could possibly go wrong, right?
