Honestly this read like a plan you'd create if you wanted to look like you're doing something, but don't actually want it to work. Maybe it gives them to something to point at and say "see, we tried," I guess it's on to stop loss lol
Exactly. "We're trying".

Like I said before, I don't think they'll get ANYONE to apply. I'm retired enlisted and there are ZERO reasons for me to come back. None. The only thing I can think of is some rated O who is financially secure and is just putzing around in some 9-5 for whatever reason, and he wants to fly combat rated aircraft again. There is zero incentive otherwise.

Yep, the vehicle sure appeared to have the signature can opener marks.
Too bad they can't buy the wreck and put it on a pole outside of Creech🍻

Open source reporting it was some remotely piloted American exceptionalism that carried out the strike.
🍻 to the crew if I ever run into them!

I’m getting ready to retire this year after 21 and change. If the no shit ballon would go up with China, Iran, or Russia I’d do this, but probably nothing before that scenario.
Obviously if there is a direct threat to the US of A but that is a completely different scenario.

I honestly can't come up with a scenario where someone would do this. Financially or quality of life wise.

Agreed, I actually stopped watching it half way through. That movie sucked ass.
I watched it strapped in giving platelets for red cross 🙂

100%. They would collapse - and I mean collapse - after about four days of full onslaught.
Heck of a price to pay for bases there if it’s not done with full surprise.

Apparently the show is very historically accurate in terms of what airplanes were shot down and when. Very interesting.
I never really made the connection until I read Robin Olds' book "Fighter Pilot" when he talks about the bravery of bomber crews for not being able to maneuver like he could in the P-38/P-51. Another story from the same time about a guy who flew fighters with him that he could hear crying in his room after missions and he thought he was a coward but then realized how he was actually braver than Robin because he had that amount of fear and still went out every day. He was eventually killed. Truly amazing stories from the USAAF in Europe (not to mention the USN/USMC in the Pacific).
I think there will be a red tails showing later when the mustangs show up in theatre

Dyess to Syria/Iraq and back in a B-1 has got to be a bitch. Is there a spare pilot seat?

3 episodes in now and agreed that CGI is terrible. However, I love the series from a historical point of view. It's telling the story of what these young men went through and it's certainly about the personal experience. I dig it, mainly because I'm just a WW2 nerd, but I certainly understand some may be turned off by CGI.
Educational for a lot of folks too. I think very few folks realize the price paid by bomber crews in the big one.

One is a pilot wife for sure, so real? Wow, I think my wife might actually punch someone in the face if they asked her to be in something like this. But, whatever floats your boat!
I mean anyone can take a squadron photo and put some text above it. There is nothing that comes up on google about the 'show'. At this point, I think whoever did it who got the 'FGS' versus 'FS' wrong makes it more believable that it's real 🙂

Fighters are a source of pride. Most NATO allies need more support aircraft but they don’t look good at airshows.
Some allies are buying shiny new F-35s and still using the missiles they bought from the 90s.
Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile appAnd they have 90s missiles with about 10 total spares 🙂

Didn't we have some long-standing record that US troops had not been attacked from the air since sometime during the Korean War (70 years ago)? Does this latest attack in Jordan end that record?
We've dumped metric tons of money into development of anti-drone technology over the past 20+ years, with much of it to defend against this exact scenario (protecting a remote outpost against small drone attack). Does that technology not work? Or was it not even in place in this scenario?
Why, exactly, do we have outposts with 300+ troops in Jordan?

3 American Servicemembers were Killed and at least 24 Injured last night in a One-Way “Suicide” Drone Attack by Iranian-Backed Forces near the Al-Tanf Military Base in Northern Jordan.

I can just imagine the oval office when DOJ pre-briefed them 🙂 I wonder what version 1 read like.
