Surf70 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Missile security and support is our primary gig. The civil-SAR mission is an additional mission that we perform for the MT-ID-WY area. Granted its the most challenging/rewarding/sought after mission that we do, but it's still secondary. Do you guys deploy? And can you arm up meaning put the guns on the UH-1N (M-60 in the doors, etc.)? Or are you just plain Jane Slicks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggyU2 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The Strike Eagle bros did some damn good work, I must say. What did the counter-offensive consist of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only deploy as Mi-17 advisors. No we do not have guns on the helicopters. Although AFGSC has enough to guns and mounts all three units, they position is that the risk outweighs the benefits (which is a whole other story).

EvilEagle Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 What did the counter-offensive consist of?The Tigers took the TS shred bits (basically like powder) and covered the floor of their squadron with it, then dumped 12 cases (yes, cases) of honey roasted peanuts on top and stomped around on it. (yes, this is a bit odd, but it'll do) Also, their cc's room got jacked with; someone we know makes noise makers that are light sensitive. Much much more was in the works until the truce was called. Oh yeah, the Tigers make a picture of a tiger humping engine #3 from behind. They animated it. And put it in the wing slide show.

(golf clap) The non-animated cards they were handing out at the bar were priceless. Wing slide show animation = hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.M. Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks, Neil. Outstanding point -- it matters not which engine is which. I should've corrected his punctuation and grammar instead. Now, THAT'S important! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestik Møøse Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 ...covered the floor of their squadron with it, then dumped 12 cases (yes, cases) of honey roasted peanuts on top and stomped around on it. (yes, this is a bit odd, but it'll do) Also, their cc's room got jacked with... Pretty slick considering they managed to elude the ADO, intel guy, bus drivers, and the stepping/returning crews. Must've been during the midnight food push to Roy's. I place the blame squarely on the ADO! Unfortunately for everyone, boom operators will always have the last laugh. They're they only ones willing to involve fecal matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also believe I'm in the pilot seat for one of those pics and no I did not give my tail number cheers We had a brand new boom on that flight. I tell him to always try and read it from the jet and only if he can't to ask...doesn't always work out though. And PM me your email and I'll send you higher quality if you'd like. These were taken about a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that guy. I just pulled it off the web. That is my squadron though and those T6B photos are all over the squadron. I wonder if we have permission to use them. Thanks for the website, I think I'm going to E-mail him and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
