August 6, 201213 yr Mirror Lake. My squadron saved a kid there last Friday. Had a burst appendix. Cool. Always fun when you can pull something off that others say they can't do. https://www.krtv.com/news/malmstrom-helicopter-crew-rescues-sick-teen-south-of-big-timber/
August 7, 201213 yr Taken today. If you're checking to make sure the Raptor dude hasn't passed out from hypoxia, you need to tighten up the formation.
August 7, 201213 yr Mirror Lake. My squadron saved a kid there last Friday. Had a burst appendix. Nice~ Do you guys do the missile gig like what was covered in the Vertical magazine? Looks like good stuff. Congrats on the rescue. Feels good~I try to take pics of most of my day ones. Edited August 7, 201213 yr by mudkow60
August 7, 201213 yr 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.
August 7, 201213 yr If you're checking to make sure the Raptor dude hasn't passed out from hypoxia, you need to tighten up the formation. Tough call - I don't want him getting too close to me...
August 7, 201213 yr Tough call - I don't want him getting too close to me... Kind of like the drowning man that would drag you under with him?
August 13, 201213 yr Not necessarily air to air...or pictures for that matter, but some super cool paintings of the battle of britain in the album on this facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/thefew1940/timeline?filter=1
August 14, 201213 yr Taken today. No love lost for your locale... Speaking of which, you (fighter) guys get around to restoring the barrier to it's former shame?
August 15, 201213 yr LOL!!!! Tankers + clouds + tail numbers = Classic, yet fresh! Next one will be the tankers ######ing up the rejoin!
August 15, 201213 yr Next one will be the tankers ######ing up the rejoin! Huh? Despite our propensity for clouds, the sun, and tail numbers, it's usually not us dicking up the rejoin....Usually.
August 15, 201213 yr No love lost for your locale... Speaking of which, you (fighter) guys get around to restoring the barrier to it's former shame? Yep, I think it was fixed about 20 hours later. The Strike Eagle bros did some damn good work, I must say. Less than a week later their squadron CC (KC10) put forward formal truce paperwork. I shat you negative...
August 15, 201213 yr My bros were not prepared and turned tail like douchers, or LGPOS pilots. No wonder us fat kids get a bad rep.
August 19, 201213 yr My bros were not prepared and turned tail like douchers, or LGPOS pilots. Sad. Also hard to believe that a group of military professionals did not realize that if you're going to start a battle with someone, you damned well better be ready to prosecute said battle to it's logical conclusion. edit: Upon further reflection on this community, it's not so hard to believe. Which is even more sad. Edited August 19, 201213 yr by JarheadBoom
