Why are 90% of east facing FAA cameras are turned off?

[Captain Bubba]

No statement or comment of any kind from the FAA. With all the crazy stuff going on, this is giving me the willies!

Something going on for sure. Lot's of people posting videos of military planes & choppers flying over their homes.  I mean, like dozens of reports from all over the US.

 There's also reports coming in from uk/England, and Canada of low flying military aircrafts

No answers from the FAA - their website has been down for the last two days.

I live in eastern Ontario. And chinooks have been flying/doing training non-stop the last two weeks.



Normally there’s only one or two spotted every six months. I’ve seen close to 30 in the last two weeks.



All painted black. All flying very low.



Very weird.



So something is going on. They are getting ready for something.

This started 3 days ago with both coasts having all cameras down but Canada and the middle of the USA still up. Now everything is down. At the start there were reports across twitter of tons of military helicopters being seen flying low in cities that never happens in.



These cameras would show flight activity to the enemy.



There has been no statement, not even a stupid excuse from the FAA about this. They would have certainly given a statement if it was a hack or technical problem.

There are no cameras showing at all. Not just no CAMS, no PIREPS, no SIGMETS, no AIRPORTS, the only thing working is weather radar - period! That's 12/13 data fields MISSING! Has there been any reason released, are they even acknowledging this? This is a little strange.

Hi guys sorry to say but this is bull.



No cameras were ever online because:



Montana, meanwhile, becomes the latest state to begin a pilot program to test weather camera capabilities, joining Alaska, Hawaii, and Colorado. Montana’s Aeronautics Division has installed two systems at airports at Lincoln and Seely Lake.



Looks like from what I can find the only states that DO have FAA Weather cameras are



Alaska

Colorado

Hawaii

Michigan

Mississippi

Montana

Utah


FAA expands weather camera coverage in Colorado and Montana

The cameras were never installed!
