How long before somebody gets that callsign? Other than the obvious stupid stuff, that was a good skit.

key phrase right there, not excusing their actions, but way back then BUFF CAS was something shiny and new and everyone wanted to implement. Took us awhile to get our minds wrapped around it and learn how to do it correctly.

Hell yeah...good to see those guys and gals get in the fight

Or what about the crash in the NTTR the day before the Hogs crashed? Pilot killed but very little known. Any info out there on that? Rough week.

Thanks for posting, great videos. Amazing work by LS and MX personnel

TAARing?

That would have been perfect...had it been a Boeing jet.

I'd like to think it was intentional, but a nice salute to Raider-21.

Well they gave her a name. The B-21 Raider...I can get behind that. https://www.popsci.com/air-forces-newest-bomber-is-b-21-raider

Hal Hornburg flew with us back when he was ACC CC. He had zero knowledge of the BUFF so we messed with him a bit. The throttle cables run right above the Radar Nav and Nav's head downstairs. When he flew with us the pilots showed him the amazing technology that was the VATS. I think I've told this story before here on BO, but anyway he's up in the IP seat and the pilots are telling him about VATS and he's completely perplexed when the AC says throttle up on 4-8. Throttles move forward, speed increases, Hal is beside himself. The demo goes on in various ways for about 15-20 mins. It was a good flight.

Or a Voice Activated Throttle System (VATS) like on the BUFF.

Well here it is...The B-21. Looks like B-2 2.0 Sec Deb is taking suggestions for the name. Hopefully it is something a little tougher than "Spirit" https://www.defensenews.com/story/breaking-news/2016/02/26/b-21-bomber-air-force-lrsb/80976160/

Bummer for the BUFF dudes, been awhile since they've got to play. Sure they get sweet rotations out to Guam and get international headlines with shows of force, but those crews I'm sure would love to do something other than that.

A program that has delays and cost overruns? Surely you jest!

Look for the white rock in the front yard...that spouse is getting helped out.

Mad Max: Fury Road. Pretty much the most bat shit insane movie I've ever seen...and that is a good thing. Awesome movie.

I think it'd be pretty sweet to participate as a civilian ala Robin Sage. I like to think I'd make a good warlord.

Not a sexy topic/mission so people/AF dismiss it. Navy has really stepped up the EW game over the past decade or so. AF needs to do the same.

I'll just put this here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGGpSemB_hs
