Damn, you are correct! I guess my attention to detail is fading in my old age. The jet was from Ft Wayne, and not a FT bird at KAF with a live load! Fucking fake news!

Worth a read for those who weren't around 20+ years ago...

What picture are you talking about? This one? Yes, they fucked it up for some reason while adding the red arrow; but the unaltered version is clearer... It's from this video: https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/local-news/emergency-landing-made-at-sioux-gateway-airport/1579184401 Source of pics: https://theaviationgeekclub.com/ang-a-10-makes-emergency-landing-after-partial-loss-of-canopy/

It's been done before.. 80-0219 crashed on 4 April 1989 after doing a touch-and-go at RAF Alconbury due to a flashlight being left in the throttles assembly. Pilot ejected. That little beauty now stands proudly at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum!

Surprised this hasn't been discussed yet... Nice (fake) pic!

Let me know if you need any help...

Is it semi-auto? 😎

There's one sitting over on the other side of Lackland, do you want me to check and see if there's either of those in it? 😎

Isn't that the whole purpose of jail? It's not suppose to be a fucking vacation resort that people want to go to!

I'm a good candidate, cause I honestly couldn't give any less of a shit...

Temporarily going to Hawaii and Alaska... https://www.pacaf.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1680777/tyndall-afb-personnel-f-22s-temporary-relocate-to-jbphh-and-jber/

Paul Tibbets IV would disagree...

And Death of Stalin was excellent!

If you're looking for an interesting German movie on Netflix, look no further than Look Who's Back!

It gets Jay Leno's approval thumb's up...

I smell something... ...

OK, not a dirndl; but incorporates all the best aspects of one...

I bet you were mainly disappointed that there wasn't a basement...

A nickel on the grass... F-15C Eagles from the 144th Fighter Wing, California Air National Guard from Fresno are participating in Clear Sky 2018. Additionally, a C-130J Super Hercules from the 146th Airlift Wing, Channel Islands Air National Guard Station, Calif., has arrived at Vinnytsia AB, Ukraine, to participate in the exercise.

I have to admit, this one was a shock to me... Admittedly, it had been a long time since I had any dealings with Tibbets (2001, when we were both majors). I've been up to STRATCOM a few times since then (as a contractor), but saw him once and even that was very brief. I always thought he was a solid dude, and in my opinion these "charges" sound pretty weak; but I guess it was enough to derail what was a pretty stellar career! Cheers! M2

Fucking crazy Ukrainians! https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=sLlGT_1538337739

I thought Canuks could already have beards...but I guess I've just met a lot of Pioneer Sergeants! But then there's these guys... And speaking of beards, has the USAF lower it's standards for issuing shaving waivers? It seems like I see more and more airmen in uniform with beards lately than I ever recalled in the past...

Go big or go home! Thanks guys, I'll lock this one and go have another cup of coffee...

Mihail Kogălniceanu! Lovely place!
