From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

A pretty large scale scene is being filmed down in Albuquerque for Better Call Saul season 2, with a B-29 bomber plan being spied at its New Mexico base.

The Boeing plane’s presence is odd for two reasons: 1) it is incredibly old and was used during World War II and 2) a scene involving a bombing plane is not something you’d expected from a show about small court law.

The plane, named Fifi, is currently touring the Southwest of the US, and stopped in for filming on the AMC show on Wednesday, according to KOAT 7.

Airport employees apparently said that a hanger and nearby maintenance building were also being used for filming.

The second season of the Breaking Bad spin-off is expected sometime in 2016, airing through AMC in the US and Netflix in the UK.

The first season drew big ratings but wasn’t as captivating as BB - so s2 has a lot to prove.
