Not a good day for some private pilots

1st AF/America's AOC (@1stAF) on X

Pilots! Today saw multiple restricted airspace violations and @NORADCommand fighter intercepts with flares. Don't become the next one - check NOTAMs before EVERY flight! https://t.co/MREk0ymBzq @flywithaopa

I posted the original photo that I took. Someone asked if I knew what Squad it was from, I had it enhanced and I posted the enhanced photo. Possibly some of the details have gotten distorted in the enhancement

I apologize if the enhanced photo is not accurate... Take a look at the original photo that I posted which shows the fighter jet further away. I took the original photo from my Samsung Galaxy 25 ultra from Sandy Hook Beach today

I get it.... it just seemed SO weird, and I remember seeing Jaguars with aim-9s mounted on top of the wings in 1991... (which was actually a good idea)

Fortunately the AI is just a photo, I cant wait for it to start being used to improve financial information. /s

Well if that was yesterday going home to Madrid who were we hearing Westbound today with ZNY Centers to ZOB Cleveland
last heard.. Spanish had two F/18's and two Typhoons over NYC harbor July 4th.
Maybe some stayed behind to head West base hopping? No tankers heard here also.

The FBI Gulfstream 5 is wheels up from Osan Airbase, South Korea. Wonder if this is a prisoner transport or just an executive transport? ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live

Saw that early yesterday morning - could be the female pilot from yesterday, as I've seen some photos on other sites of yesterday's intercepts and there was at least one tail from the 177th.

Some newer phone models use generative AI to try and “improve” photo quality…but a lot of the time, it just creates phony details based on what the AI thinks it is supposed to look like.

This is becoming a real problem. I have found that many images uploaded to various sites are being modified by the AI lurking on the site. As it has been pointed out the AI adds and changes details on what it thinks should be there NOT what is actually there. Images are not like text where you should/can modify them for better grammar/Quality. The image should not be edited to make it better or to match what the AI thinks it should look like or contain.

Here is a recent example of the garbage that is currently being produced.

A friend in Israel tells me that so many of our tankers are parked and flying out of Ben Gurion International, the big commercial airport, that the commercial airlines are suffering congestion on the ramps and other facilities. They're actually having to cancel flights and eat the consequences. He tells me that while Israel has a good number of all-military fields around the central part of the country, they are smaller fields with little capability to handle the big influx of visitors.
