A photo taken by witness Diane Dircks showed the plane in water just offshore, a sight reminiscent of the 2009 "Miracle on the Hudson."

Lmao the slant is strong here. The Boeing P-8A Poseidon is a Maritime patrol/reconnaissance aircraft. It's not a "spy plane" in the sense that it doesn't do things surreptitiously and all sneaky-like in order to get SIGINT and visual intelligence of enemy stuff... it's main job is to look around the ocean for potential threats to the Navy's battle groups and engage such threats with weapons.

The funny part is that it's actually a submarine.

Phhhttt! Every one knows that if it was a "Spy Plane" it would have a dark top and light underside to camouflage it from below and above. And "Cloaking Capabilities"!

Well that pilot has just flown his last big plane for the Navy. No matter what the cause it'll be blamed on pilot error. I hear FedEx is looking for younger pilots. (Not as exciting, but pay is probably much better)
