Your view of the mountains will be much better.😁 I'm sure the cockroaches in Central and South America are scattering. With ISR watching.

This one made me chuckle https://www.instagram.com/rmsthornton/reel/DTCtoyhjWQP/

Little bit of info trickling out Air & Space Forces MagazineUS Airpower Paved Way for Special Ops to Capture Venezuel...U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a high-stakes military operation on Jan. 3 supported by extensive U.S. airpower.Interesting that there were LE present in the force that captured Maduro.

That’s nuts. Indeed it is.

That is wonderful news!!

I found it interesting that the FBI CIRG was on hand to make the actual arrest (due to the types of charges for the perps - LOL).

concept of a plan

They just tried to elect a president. If the military doesn't try to assert control, they'll have a leader who is very Western-friendly. With what just happened, I doubt the Venezuelan generals are eager to take over the role of dictator at the moment. There should be no other puppeteers in our hemisphere.

Better us than Russia / China. Like it or not, this action opens up the possibility of getting things straight in this part of the world and countering negative influence by multiple malign actors.

Watched the press brief...doesn't look like it.

Will he end up as "Born Again" Maduro?

So we're running Venezuela now?

I guess he will be a guest of my neighboring town of Florence ATX.

I figured he had a Hellfire in his future. Now my guess is he'll sing for his supper just to avoid Supermax.

That escalated quickly. Hope people thought through the transition better than we have the last couple times. Good work by the 160th.

All is well, thank you so much! 2 year old granddaughter had open heart surgery on a Thursday morning. She was skipping out of the hospital by noon Sunday. Modern medicine is a miracle!

Looks like Operation Just Cause 2.0 has officially kicked off.

I remember seeing that when I was in OGV. The best part was the CVR recording the idiots in the cockpit making fun of the kid at the firebottle for not having being able to see due to no one having a flashlight.

Except the AIB points out the dude in the cockpit couldn't have seen the guy by the CRL on the right side of the jet. However, they could've activated the CRL via their laptop, which was under the jet on the ground, on the wrong TO checklist (APU start) to the maintenance they were doing. Since their laptop could actuate the CRL, there was literally no reason why the guy was in the cockpit doing it via the MFD.
