New BUFF Engines (Finally)
They're more getting rid of the one of the Navs and making a DSO/OSO construct. The EWO functions will still exist but move downstairs.

Lighten Up Francis!
A few years ago when they were having probe issues with the HH-60 I tried to preflight the probe when one wasn't installed. "Hey chief, I'm not getting an unlock light"...."Uh, sir there is no probe installed"

Just do the Yankee system that the A-1 had.- AF Light Air Support Aircraft
Were you at Columbus in 2009? If not, they got the same guy to do a bunch of road shows. I also heard a joke that some ground forces referred themselves to the 319th of the ground.- F35 navy crash rumor?

It's really no different than the mountain of enlisted EPRs that support squadrons have. Some MX and security forces squadrons have 300+ individuals.- The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)

Probably in part because they can't fill the airtime with views of the courtroom theatrics. Courtroom sketches and transcripts don't make for exciting 24-hr news coverage.- Wisconsin Parade Attack
The quote was in relation to the Arbery case. Glynn County, GA is 70% white and 26% black so the proportionally there should have been 3-4 black people on the jury.- Ethiopia going south and we are responding
Legitimate question: how many people do “we” have left? US nationals? Helped us? NGO personnel?- New BUFF Engines (Finally)
Which won't interface at all with the bombing computer because of the nuclear certification so the navs still need to hand jam the atmospheric data.- New BUFF Engines (Finally)
Nobody cares that the PT-6 (which powers nearly ever turboprop it seems) is from Canada. The engines are designed and built in Indy as was previously stated. I don't see how a "foreign-source" protest argument would hold water. In addition to the C-130 engines, the V-22 engines are also sole-sourced from RR.- New BUFF Engines (Finally)
Rolls-Royce is the supplier of the C-130 engines so I think not.- Low Slow Flyer Intercept Air Defense Problems
Then you're going to have the look-down and clutter issues against the faint IR signature of a single exhaust stack of a GA aircraft. A problem that can be worked but it will definitely decrease the Pk. Not that the 9X doesn't have those issues either (*cough FM33*).- Low Slow Flyer Intercept Air Defense Problems
If you have the opportunity I would read some of the CJCS CCIRs for them on SIPR. There have been some intercepts that are illuminating to say the least.- Flying Videos Thread Part 2?

Now that the Afghanistan is over, does anybody think the 2001 and 2003 AUMFs will be repealed? AUMF reform is desperately needed so Congress can actually take some responsibility and actually vote for committing US forces to conflicts rather than abdicating all of the responsibility onto the Executive. Something that I learned from the below podcast was that the 1991 AUMF is technically still in effect and was used in part as the legal basis for committing forces to OIR in 2014.

The video of the strike is on SIPR as well for the armchair quarterbacks to made their own post-strike BDA.- Finally done in Afghanistan?

- Finally done in Afghanistan?
It'll be interesting to see what intelligence estimates assessed the crumbling of the entire ANA and Afghan government in less than 96 hours. I'm going to bet that the US and other coalition governments are going to make a deal with the Taliban to secure departure of their personnel. The issue is different than 1975 in that there isn't the threat of armored divisions bearing down on the capital. We tried to make a peace deal in 2020, let's see how much the "new" government is willing to negotiate.- Finally done in Afghanistan?

Or former House Speaker, John Boehner- Simone Biles
She wasn't just pre-determined she is/was. She has the most medals in international competition for any gymnast ever (male or female) on the beam, she has two floor skills named after her, and she is the first woman to win five individual all-around world championships and has not lost an individual all-around in competition in eight years. - AF Light Air Support Aircraft
