I understand they are under investigation now...I read a story that said their request to perform the stunt was denied.

A bud if mine sent this pic of his aviation display! 🤣🤣🤣

May be an image of airplane

Not a video but a cool google maps image. I was dicking around online (what happens when one retires) and stumbled on a 4 ship of Blacksnakes in the pattern.  Ft Wayne boys coming back home. In google maps at their heritage park (street view) you can see all four of them make the break. Pretty cool.image.thumb.png.0bce8da765b8f65ac6d585eb9e89f4cf.png

What are the sparks coming from when the jet took the cable? Either way, a good save for the CE bubbas.

Looks like the hook and/or cable hit the engines and made that spark shower. Honestly not sure. I saw one of these from the SOF truck before and don’t remember seeing sparks but I do remember the directive to not use the brakes and use the motors when the cable starts to pull you backwards. Nice job to all involved!

I know it's not as cool as most of the videos in this thread but could you imagine a formation of fat Americans flying these things to Walmart?

Two of the acquired jets were involved in the Iraq nuclear raid. 

Those are legendary. 

Raid on the Sun, title of a good book about the mission.

All kept I hearing was the drone operator thinking: "don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash"

If you look closely, you can see the load's Subway sandwich wrapper falling out of the back.  Lol

In all seriousness, this is pretty cool to see.

On the Talon when we would drop a bundle to the snake eaters we would insert gifts for them. Always scored a PI. The Shadows never did catch on why we always outscored them on drops.

From the article, The lab said the program has so far focused on kinetic munitions, but is now turning its attention to adding “palletized effects.”

I want to see lots of OPR/EPRs using the term “palletized effects.”
