OopsHow does this happen?Correct me if I am wrong but I thought there were TWO incidents? The possible fuel thieves that were released then the Brits arrested an Iranian late last week with ties to a possible operation against the bombers. After Operation Spiderweb I would rather they act on the side of caution.Hearing reports that some ACC fighter units are getting ONE sortie per month thanks to the Iran conflict...recipe for disaster and further demonstrating we need some sort of seasoning program that can pick up the airmanship slack.Lots of confusing info. The first guys caught were quickly released and it was suggested they might have simply been trying to steal fuel. Now they arrested an Iranian and people are paying more attention.From the recording it does not sound like it was acknowledged. Regardless, if you are on an IFR clearance, without declaring you can't just decide to change altitudes on your own. Dude goes on to say "we were trying to prevent declaring an emergency"....then you need a clearance!Disagree...basic IFR rules, what if there was another aircraft between them and 12k? If you are going to descend on your own you have to tell someone.I think a lot has to do with the age when the arrive. Younger folks seem to pick up the language much easier. My Cuban friend I mentioned, his parents were amazing people, his father was Fulgencio Batista's horse guy and was severely punished when the revolution happened. He left before the family because they were going to kill him, the rest of the family left during the Mariel Boat lift. I forgot to include some of the story that shows how hard the integration can be. So the family had three kids, my buddy "Jose" was the middle child and he came to America with his Mom and younger sister to join his father. His older brother stayed behind as he was in the Cuban Army. Jose has been very successful and sent his brother money and supplies for many years. 15 years ago Jose started and payed for the process (including a LOT of bribes), to get his brother to America. It finally happened but after 2.5 years his brother decided to go back. Crazy from our perspective but he wanted his family (wife and friends), because he was unable to integrate here.Shocked this has not been hacked. They let China get my SF-86 but protect my gun numbers...F-47 is MUCH farther along...F/A-XX....not so much.
