  1. We’re gonna need about 3000 fighters, 690 tankers, and 69B pounds of fuel flowing nonstop, so in no reasonable world should we be trading working airplanes for fictional ones just yet
  2. An interesting statement considering that WW2 happened.
  3. Because you don’t have to go to college first.
  4. Weird way to say the Army can’t defend itself against quadcopters. They’ll respond the same way they always have, by shooting more Patriots at sky debris which will result in the death of friendly aircraft. The lesson that the US Army should be taking from Ukraine is that a poorly equipped but motivated army can defend itself in flat, featureless territory against an army 5x the size if that larger force is unable wield air power to attack strategic centers of gravity.
  5. I know a guy that couldn’t enlist in the USAF because his ASVAB was too low. So he joined the Army and they made him a Tower Controller, then they sent him to flight school and he’s flying C-12s now. So there’s that.
  6. But you don’t ever pay for it, because the nature of AF moves means no one will ever be held accountable for decisions that provide a short-term benefit with worse long-term outcomes. Big decisions on acquisitions and personnel don’t come home to roost until the people who devised and approved them are several assignments in the future. There’s no personal or institutional financial penalty because the budget always goes up and the bad decision makers always get a defense gig afterwards.
  7. Barksdale is 22,000 acres, mostly woods. A golf course is 100 acres. Something tells me this isn’t about space.
  8. If I were fighting an enemy that had gone all-in on high-end low volume $500M silver bullets with standoff weapons, I think I’d just pay some insurgent groups a couple $B to go start fires on the other 5 continents. The idea that we should only have assets that can fly west of Taiwan is ludicrous.
  9. A lot of us still fly like this, albeit with ForeFlight strapped to the leg.
  10. Intel defaults to doom and gloom baseball cards. Some of them seem to get enjoyment from telling scary stories to the pilots.
  11. That’s a net gain of a 14x14 mile square for the world’s 4th largest military after a year of force on force conflict. It boggles the mind how wrong we were about their abilities before the war started.
  12. Probably aided by Trump consistently disparaging POWs, WIA, and KIA as losers.
