    I have a hard time believing Russia can do better in the winter than they have in the warm months. 

    Based on their shit logistics, I think we’ll see General Winter on the side of the Ukrainians this year.

    Coming soon, the legendary “meat popsicles” of The 5th Element!

    Splitting off part of the Air Mobility mission set and giving ACC is responsibility for Tactical Air Refueling and defining for AMC Air Refueling's responsibilities as Theater and Strategic could be a COA.  Or it could be the road to hell, IDK...

     

    He speaks of SAC, MAC and TAC! 
     

    Quickly, to the alert birds!!

    Just saw this, seems like this is gonna happen

    Looking at this rendering which seems pretty close to what I'd imagine a real MAC 130 would look life IRL, could you drive that on to beach, embark / disembark troops / vehicles then launch again from that beach?

    C130-seaplane.jpg?auto=webp&optimize=hig

    Just considering it, high floatation tires in a side by side truck disperse enough weight to not get sunk / stuck on sand that's fairly compacted?  

    Disembarking troops from the crew entrance door would take FOR-EV-ER. Plus, if the beach is wide enough to taxi onto, regular MC-130’s can land on it.

    What's wrong with the Air Force?

    She flew on the Huey with us at Fairchild in 2016.   Prior to flying with us, our HARMs troop discovered she did not have a current form 8.   I was the CCV chief and had to let her know she couldn't log flight hours on the Huey.  Prior to that, she had been logging flight hours in the MC at ABQ and nobody noticed.  She was flying without a current form 8 and logging primary hours (in the MC at ABQ) as the OG/CC.  Before somebody says she can fly on whatever she wants as the OG/CC, she can't log hours unless she has a current form 8 (in any platform).  

    I think the OG/CC should know a little better.  

    I flew with the 58 SOW/CC during that same time period.  He had a current form 8 in the MC.  He logged flight hours and I let him land on the top of a mountain.  Good times.  

    You guys are talking about two different females 😂
