Bro, that's obviously fake....this one should be sobering for Western nations. If Iran can get to our F-35s, all bets are off.

Obviously Contact Time……

This is getting serious. Iran has an air defense capability that reverses your vertical stabilizer, powers your afterburner post crash AND sits you down gently in the grass!

We could waste billions on resurrecting a 50s era aircraft like the WB-57 for C2... or we could use... space..

November/December '79 we were flying gunships out of Guam to replicate time and distance for our mission to rescue the hostages in Iran. Take off from Guam, fly up to Korea, hang out for awhile, and back. Average flight time 18 hours at 10,000 feet unpressurized, max continuous power, doing about 215 IAS, two ARs. That part of the mission got scrubbed.

It's crazy the modifications they had to make to satisfy the B model.

Over areas that would only be permissible with tacit approval of the Sunni states in the region that get something out of this. That’s probably the biggest part of this not being discussed by critics of Israel and the current administration, because this shows the Abraham accords and other normalization efforts were far more useful than publicly acknowledged.

Ok, enough internet for me today 🤮

It's been a few years but I recall hearing reports of the Israeli AF doing large strike package exercises in the Med. They would have strikers, escort, jammers, and tankers flying west a long way then turn around and fly home. If you measured the distance, flipped it on a map going east, you end up in Iran. Things that make you go, hhmmmm.

Several key surviving Iranian leaders have fled with thier families to Russia.

Is that frowned upon now?

Probably still not as dramatic as the T-38 commander who got caught tag teaming a student with a SIM instructor.

I have no direct knowledge of what occurred. That being said, I was stationed with/served with this individual and he had a habit of putting his genitalia where it didn’t belong.

Two thoughts, equally important: What the Air Force is doing to you and, by extension, to the country, is a travesty, and the generals responsible should be fired publicly and shamed as examples of pathetic and impotent hubris for the remaining days of our nation's existence. Also Suck it up. You don't get to pick the path, only the destination, and sometimes not even that. If this mockery is how you become an Air Force pilot, so be it.

For the record, I have absolutely no issue with arresting and prosecuting everyone who is waving Mexican flags while setting cars on fire. F those people. I know that’s going to be the response here - attack a straw man. I have significant issue with using an event that should be handled with law enforcement and/or natl guard as a way to overreach executive power unconstitutionally, and I am honestly appalled at this forum’s complacency about it.

Just the president of the US directly threatening someone over free speech. Somehow this is both constitutional AND moral. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-elon-musk-consequences-funds-democratic-candidates-rcna211605

Because it's a stupid parade. Like we need to spend $$$ on that shit. But I guess little Taco needs an ego stroke so he can look mighty like Un. Tards.

If you have any chance of using the GI Bill for higher education, for you or a dependent, save it for that. Right now my daughter is getting just over 90k a year for school from the GI Bill. So when I got my ATP, I bit the bullet and paid for it all out of pocket.

Does knock it off have a different meaning where you come from?
