We Know Almost Nothing About This Secret US Government Airline (opens in new tab)

It could be some sort of party bus that is used to get people to every $0.25 taco stand around the US. You join at the beginning of the year and every day you go to a different taco stand. JANET could stand for Jaunt Amazingly to Nibble Effectively on Tacos.

No, you're right. The article is absolutely clickbaity and provides no real service.

I'm with the other guy I run like 5 different ad blockers plus have my headers file configured to block most ads and this site didn't say anything. It's strange that someone who doesn't even have one could've gotten flagged. It's almost like these stupid sites that try to block people who use blockers should just stfu if they're programmed so poorly they get false positives.

I'm with the other guy as well, you didn't miss anything. The article is garbage. It basically says "Woah! There's a plane that flies around and no one knows what it does or where it goes! It's probably nothing but it's fun (and gets clicks to our website) to make up conspiracies! Weird, huh?!"

I use uMatrix. Sometimes I get an error like "Your adblocker has caused this site to crash. Disable your adblocker".

When this happens, I just disable all javascript on the page, and the page loads fine -- no error, no alert, just the content. In fact, the page loads faster, since 95% of Javascript is not used to improve the usability of the site.

Oddly, I’m running an ad blocker on mobile Safari, and not a peep about it from the site. That’s okay, you didn’t miss much, the article is so thin that I considered flagging it.

Yes, and the last paragraph pretty much sums it up (spoiler alert) — It's likely that JANET is simply how government employees commute to their top secret jobs every day.

Exactly, I thought this was the airline that flew people directly to area 51. Not sure what this has to do with Popular Mechanics!
