Daily Mail: Russian 'spy' plane is spotted over the Midwest on a surveillance mission of strategic defense assets in Hawaii
* On August 14 it landed in Hawaii ahead of a flyover of US defense assets
* The Russian Tupolev Tu-154M had departed Moscow, for the United States, via Iceland on August 11
* Its flight over Chicago this week caused a bit of a stir among locals unaware it was on an official mission permitted under the Treaty on Open Skies
A Russian Air Force jet has been spotted flying in the skies above the US Midwest on what appears to be a surveillance mission of key strategic defense assets in the nation.
The Tupolev Tu-154M was captured on flight radar flying across parts of the country including Chicago - the home of the US navy's largest training sites and Hawaii - home of the Hickam Air Force Base and the local Marine Corps.
FlightRadar24 data shows the air force jet left the Russian Federation on August 11, before a stopover in Reykjavik, Iceland, that same day before passing through Vacaville, Northern California before it is believed to have then undertaken its surveillance missions over Hawaii on Wednesday.

Journalists need to get better. Jesus christ.
