Would not have predicted this prior to Feb 24. "Ukraine has won the Battle of Kyiv". Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 3 | Institute for the Study of War (understandingwar.org) Got to give a shout out to any California and Florida (and any others) Guardsman who participated in the SPP and other events through the years and up until the invasion. CHEERS!

To those who toil in anonymity especially the NCOs. What you do matters.

I just hope I can get some good, reliable information on Naval aviation from this upcoming documentary. Definitely don’t want to just go enjoy myself and get nostalgic.

Oh brother....a simple statement meant to rile up the crowd subsequently spun by the media....nothing to see here (same old playbook either right or left leaning)

Anecdotes speaking to the organization of their withdrawals. This was taken along the Sumy axis after 4th Guards got its ass handed too it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Absolutely! The only ones who regret it are management. Unfortunately they won’t/can’t admit they screwed the pooch and will blame “greedy” and “lazy” pilots for their airlines’ woes.

I think a lot of carriers prematurely thinned their pilot ranks when they thought the sky was falling & it would be years before demand returned. Well, here we are two years later and demand is stronger than ever. Pax carriers are only too happy to accept all the bookings & drop a shit ton of pain on pilots and schedulers, who are not equipped to handle the rapid ramp up in demand. Good on the Delta bros & now the Alaska guys for picketing. It’s gonna be an interesting new contract season as just about every airline is coming up on negotiations over the next couple years. Pilots have never been in a stronger position. Hopefully we can collectively capitalize on that.

During the part with the Su-57 Felon they were in an F-14. Which makes total sense timeline wise... There is also an SR-72/Aurora looking thing at one point (or maybe that was an older trailer). But it's in there.

Good looking Flanker, maybe parts plus 12.

From what I’ve heard, Gp/CCs might still be a thing, however the wings will have an A-staff. It’s a hybrid of what we have now and what the “Mountain Home experiment” looked like. Each MAJCOM will make its own decision though, so YMMV.

I don't think complaining about a biased media helps but I'm going to keep complaining anyway. Over the last 4-5 years, Think of the very long list of "bombshells," "the walls are closing in," and "the beginning of the end" declarations based on "anonymous," "off the record," or "sources inside say" information that were total fabrications yet the media slobbered over those stories endlessly. No facts, no problem. Yet, any story that contains factual credible information that might shed light on the corrupt dealings of their own party (yes, most media works for the democrat party) gets ignored.

I was beginning to think it's natural state was behind a Ukrainian farmers tractor.

There's currently a minor Wikipedia editing battle to give "Igor from Ukraine" status as a current operator of the Tor Missile System 😆 Here's a photo snip from a previous edit to the page...I for one stand with Igor ✊🇺🇦
