Not if terrorists were using them to pass information. In that case, feel free to dispose of them as needed.

They must have missed the 100% shred policy CBT.

Masking the real radar signature?

At Nellis the other night: some retard on the well-lit single-purpose running track wearing a reflective belt. I'm sorry, were you confusing CAOC-N with the CAOC? Ugh.

2012 ACSCL. Anyone with insight on why Proclear is no longer an approved lens? It disappeared form the 2011 list without explanation in the memo. 2012_ACSCLP_Approved_list.pdf 2012_ACSCLP_signed_memo.pdf

What's wrong with that? You simply stated a goal. If they infer something such as, "I hate everyone here, and this mission sucks so I want out," I doubt any sugar coating is going to help.

She doesn't seem to be shy about it, and sounds like she has a market cornered if she needs career options.

Shack.

If it's the active, or even better powered passive (emits when interrogated) kind, then you're right, EMCON would be easy

That sucks, they can get it to read a passing vehicle on a highway, but not an airplane sitting feet away for a couple minutes. Wonder if they tried a Bluetooth based device; should still be small, light, and cheap.

Should be pretty easy to do some radar intercepts with that big radar up front.

No, back to the vault; always something to learn.

You have two arguments going back on your politics, capabilities post: 1) We could have done Libya with only the F-22, and 2) Replace TLAMs with F-22 to enhance SA. Regarding: 1) After about the first week, once the big ticket items were gone, most of the "actions to protect civilians from attack or the threat of attack" targeting was done with ISR (or NTISR) looking at an area and figuring out which people were shooting at civilians, then taking them out. 90% of the targets NATO hit were tanks, artillery, and small AAA. I don't understand how the F-22 could have done that on its own. I think that part lends itself to having a TGP, or getting a target from someone who does. 2) I can see the benefit in that, but the cost of moving them out there and flying them might still be more than lobbing in some TLAMs. Maybe not.

But it still requires someone outside, probably with a targeting pod, who isn't stealth and who can carry more bombs while costing less to fly to give him updated coords to drop on. If they had the SAR, they can operate on their own more effectively and it makes more sense.

True, they weren't in place. Another downside would be if they hadn't gotten their SAR software upgrade (which I don't think they had at the time), then they could only drop JDAMs on preplanned coordinates with no way to verify the target hadn't moved. Not having dynamic targeting capability would have been a huge con in the decision process for sending them to Libya.

Nellis AFB Releases Final EA for Indian Springs Land Acquisition Resort property? They must have studied the wrong Indian Springs. At least the land area is right on.

C models have less loiter than vipers, typhoons, tornados, and mirages?
