4 hours ago4 hr Not the first time the Iranian desert ate an American C-130.SOF played a front row seat, i wonder if this is going to stoke the fire in the battle to move CSAR to AFSOC.

I'm of the impression that it's a foregone conclusion, all indications from big blue pointed (over the last 5-6 years) in that direction.This could very well be the thing to re-light the fire.Fucking good work everyone.

1 hour ago1 hr What I am told is they landed two MC-130Js with 2 X Little Birds each. Both MC-130Js got their nose wheels stuck in the sand.The little birds launched and one picked up the WSO. At the FARP they tried unsuccessfully to get the MC-130J's "unstuck" so they called in other assets from a supporting agency to pick up everyone. 3 X other smaller platforms came in and picked everyone up. USAF aircraft then bombed the 2 X MC-130J's and 4 x Little birds. We lost a couple of Reapers as well.True team effort.
7 minutes ago7 min Good video of the F-15E crew that bailed out over Libya in 2011 and what happened after they returned to friendly control; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZvhhTpNFqU Excellent channel, BTW, if you like aviation.
