How did the fuel truck not blow up? Even with the warhead not exploding I’m surprised that the exhaust didn’t ignite the fuel fumes that had to have been present in the tank.

Warhead probably didn’t have time to arm. No idea on the fines in the tank. Impressive video

It's the watered-down JP-8 they're  selling...surprised the engines can achieve ignition

Full tank...little to no vapor to cause an explosion?

Maybe when he enters the Flight Line, he “FENCES IN” and flips the Tank Inerting switch.

I always thought the two girls were twins. That was the irony of the picture.

These are clearly not the same people that are in the original photo.

Maybe he was the  SpecOpsFighterPilot.....🤪

So here's an interesting read from Task and Purpose.

Dude refused to turn over his weapons after making threatening comments to his chain-of-command in an email.  When they went to his on-base residence to take his guns away, he went full Code of Conduct on that ass.

What I love the most about this is how his wife turned it into a team sport:

"Injerd’s wife then opened the front door to their home, and the airman retreated into the house, shut the door, broke a back window, crawled out, scaled the base perimeter face and escaped into the woods.

..."and weather forecaster"...

Wonder if he knew his forecast was cloudy with chance of $h1tstorm?

So this guy, all 5' 8" of him, kicked the asses of three sky cops, retreated back into his house, broke a back window, crawled out, scaled the base perimeter face, escaped into the woods, evaded capture in difficult and wooded terrain, and has been on the lamb since 22 April?

Fucking Rambo! :rock:

How fucking embarrassing for the SMSgt Klexton Q. Jett, MSgt Derek L. Krahn and Officer John F. Breed!  I am sure they appreciate their names being included in the article! 😂😂😂

And if/when they ever capture him, instead of throwing him in jail, they need to put him in charge of training at the 7th Security Forces Squadron!  Apparently there's a lot he can teach the cops at Dyess!

On a separate note, just another reason not to live on base!

Yeah, it is.  Poor taste would be putting it mildly.
