Paywalled - what’s the gist of a false DUI arrest? I assume one would only make it as far as a blood test at the precinct before being let loose. So, what does the cop gain from that?

C-130s have four engines.. it’s made in the good ole USA. Easily modified. Lots of room. Can go almost anywhere. Cruises at a zippy 320T. I’m sure Lockheed could fit two VC-130Js in the que. Gen up a new comfort pallet.. easy peasey. Give POTUS his very own noise cancelling David Clark’s with sheepskin comfort liner.. luxury flying.

Quick, arm all of the ISR satellites!

And a shooter isn't helpful if there is no good intel/recce to get them where they are needed. Or better yet, to get the intel so early that you don't need the shooter after all. You appear to have a very myopic view of what "ISR" is. We don't operate in a vacuum, and we are often able to integrate with bomb droppers. It's been proven time and again that attempting to bills an aircraft that "does it all" is foolish. Yes, there are some ISR platforms that can go kinetic. And there are a lot that those platforms cannot do, WRT ISR. Had they weaponized the U-2 when they considered it many decades ago, the political implications would have been very limiting: there are a lot of sovereign nations that likely would have never allowed us access to their airspace. No one aircraft does it all. The U-2... still... has some very unique capes that other ISR platforms don't have. There are numerous instances where a non-kinetic U-2 was the only ISR platform over Americans, and it resulted in great success. One of our smart WIC grads could certainly explain this better than I, but I completely reject your assertion that we should be armed to be effective.

BAD COMPANY, I CANT DENY! 🎸

Yeah pretty f’d up i read a court appearance counts as overtime and some are “gaming” the system and can clear $300k as a cop

Nightmare shit. This dude is ruining lives to make himself look good.

How bout Jill allowing this to go on?

We know those directly in politics will lie to win and not bat an eye. However, the alleged non-political media has done substantial damage to their reputation and are seeking to massage the narrative claiming "we didn't know Joe was a marginally mobile vegetable" despite having defended his senility for the last 4 years. We shall see how that argument works out.

Agree to disagree Huggy; if US troops or citizens are in danger and ISR is watching, that platform should be armed. Great as the U2 is, it's not helpful if you need a shooter.

Dementia, cancer, and all the other physical and mental ailments of old age are both sad and terrifying. I'm sure many of us have seen it play out in our own families, or others close to us. That said, I'm still anxiously awaiting some kind of explanation as to who exactly was running the country while Biden was tottering around, oblivious to his surroundings. The American people are owed that. Also, while I'm not holding my breath, I'd hope we'd eventually get some understanding of Jill Biden's state-of-mind through her husband's presidency. How she was able to come to terms with the allegiances to her party vs her allegiances to her husband and his health.

The machine did its very best to put us through some alternate reality regarding the whole Biden affair. That level of coordination and manipulation perpetrated on the American people will hopefully never be seen again. I’m glad the truth is coming out so we can all see what is being exposed. I don’t believe the democrat party or legacy media will have significant influence any time soon because of it. Progressives and their politics are just an annoyance for the vast majority of the country. That’s why their favorability numbers are so historically low. Something else will be born out of those ashes for sure and we will see what it becomes. Hopefully, level headed democrats will form something to counter the republicans and we can have a semi functioning government again. I am sure this will come across as insensitive and too early, but I am not excited about watching the machine paint Biden as a saint when he goes, and I’m betting he goes quickly after this diagnosis.

Watch the full story...they tried to cover it up! There is another one out there where the cop did something similar WITHOUT his lights on and slammed into another car that happened to be driving in the next lane. To this day the police department is refusing to pay for the damage claiming qualified immunity.

A horrific tradition from the MH-53 Pavelow community whereby they would hug each other naked as a form of trust...FU! I remember I deployment to Korea when they still had the detachment there and all the red scarf Pavelow homers though they were going to give the Gunship crewdawgs naked gunner hugs...Not happening and several people including myself were about to throw down.

I hate to dog-pile on Biden on the day they announce he has a very aggressive form of cancer that has spread to his bones, but I challenge anyone to go listen to the newly released tapes of his special counsel interview about the classified information and tell me that dude is not completely fried in the brain. He could not remember when he was the Vice President...after listening I am not sure he knows he was Vice President.

AR State Trooper screwed up but blames other driver. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16K2wEnSwq/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Didn't you guys fly with a M9 or a pocket knife or something of the like? That's all you need to be armed and dangerous.

Lockheed tanker proposal early 2000’s

Yup the beautiful L1011, just included as it was a concept / proposal when they started looking to replace the VC-137 during the Carter administration Not sure if it was in that article I posted but it was eliminated first in the draw down then the DC-10 v B-747 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bottom one is a Lockheed.

thanks my man. Life in Hawaii is great, what can I say lol. its very lame how that has become a popular thing among squadrons. that's great news with the 144th bro, definitely try to show face at the next rush event with them. FWIW, the 199th FS (Hawaiian Raptors) are hiring and applications are due in august. if you want, PM me and ill get you in contact with one of the F22 selects that is in charge of picking up the rushees and taking them on base. They fortunately dont have a policy like the other squadrons and I believe its free game to rush when they have events.

Olé! ETA: Holy shit, didn’t realize they had sailors posted in the rigging for a ceremony when it hit.
