    If you don’t think Americans would do something like this for the right price, you’re out of your mind. Plenty of ex-mil dudes don’t care about anything besides making money.

    Contracting out essential combat capabilities will be the death of us. Contractors don’t have ALR.


    Correcting my numbers: 49 for sale. 1 went to Dover for their museum.

    AMC is enamored of the Navy’s contract AR model where Omega does most of their training/CONUS refueling.

    Russia still says truck bomb.

    “The FSB said the explosive device was camouflaged in rolls of construction polyethylene film on 22 pallets with a total weight of 22.7 tonnes, and moved from Ukraine to Russia via Bulgaria, Georgia and Armenia.”

    Did I think it was a truck bomb? Undecided at the time which is why I said “NYT said…” Now? Not likely, and also not as likely that Ukraine did it. The FSB release gives more credibility to Russia doing it themselves to justify increasing their attacks.

    if you got medically ed up by taking a mandatory vax and consequently told you'd never fly again in the AF and never hold a class I physical I think your thought process would be radically different.
    i'm happy it didn't happen to you.


    I’m lazy and don’t have time to chase down possible bullshit on the internet…where are the stories of being ed up by the vaccine and losing an AF medical?

    It's funny because when the C-17 program was struggling, there was talk of just buying 200 more KC-10s to have more tanker and cargo capacity, at the expense of airdrop and austere fields.


    The original plan was 120 KC-10s. Congress cut the buy in half.
