This Orion called in an emergency over Tucson and was vectored into Davis-Monthan ... It appears there was a lightning strike. Most of the nose cone was ripped apart and luckily did not hit the props. Aircraft landed safely. Not a whole lot of information is known about the mission these "blank" Orions carry out. They are supposedly run by the CIA for missions most likely classified as "unknown." Not even the "NAVY" titles or bureau number is labeled on these Orions ... Crazy.
