I'm not quite sure what is happening in Albany, but a NetJets Europe Gulfstream G-V CS-DKI landed on 19 from RAF Northolt in Ruislip, England. There were also multiple US Army UH-60 Black Hawk movements, even though they are based on the field. A handful of other business jets also came in, and congregated around the same FBO, next to two Black Hawks loaded with Army personnel.

RAF Northolt is a standard biz airport for London, so I think the military hardware in proximity is just a coincidence. I see a handful of Albany-Europe flights this year, mostly Netjets G-IVs and G-Vs.

I could probably guess what all the activity was about, but then, I'd probably have black helicopters following me around...
