AIR FORCE LAUNCHES 52 F-35A LIGHTNING II JETS IN TRAINING EXERCISE SAY IT IS ‘COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL’ AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH 52 STRIKES TRUMP WARNED IRAN WITH ON SATURDAY by Geoffrey Grider for Now The End Begins
Hill Air Force Base launched the F-35A Lightning II fighters over a 10-minute period around 11 a.m. Monday, The Standard-Examiner reports. The 388th and 419th Fighter Wings conducted the combat exercise that sent the jets west to the Utah Test and Training Range to perform various missions. Col. Michael Ebner, the 388th vice commander, said Monday’s exercise had been planned as a “culminating event” after the two fighter wings received their full complement of fighter jets. While the effort was intended to demonstrate an ability to conduct large-scale combat deployment in a short time, it was not in direct response to the United States’ escalating situation with Iran, Ebner said. “That’s completely coincidental,” he said.
The U.S. Air Force conducted an exercise involving the launch of 52 fighter jets from Hill Air Base in Utah, officials said.

Those 52 targets represented the 52 American hostages Iran held captive back in 1979.
This morning, Hill AFB in Utah launched training exercises with exactly 52 fighter jets. How’s that for an amazing coincidence?
