uhhello

While I agree with you generally, their training has definitely improved over the years. We shot often and had a great relationship with CATM folks, to include having an assigned CATM in our community so we were often out there for their shoots. It went from laughable to more shoot and move and different situations rather than old school static weaver stance blasting 🙂 Bottom line, if they aren't shooting on their own time, they aren't going to be 'good'.

Mr. Trump. Please please please just shut the fuck up. Its shut the fuck up Friday tomorrow. Then shut the fuck up Saturday and so on. You gain nothing by opening your mouth. I'm voting this year strictly off past performance and projected performance. One will keep this country around for a few more years and the alternative might not. Please. Shut the fuck up.

Whole episode was pretty crazy

Apparently MN has a open primary process where all registerd voters can vote regardless of party. Could be interesting

Hell yeah, shut it all down. Ban concerts, firearms, NASCAR, stadium events, driving, etc etc..... What a special touched man.

They should have never got to that point. The aircraft was telling them something was wrong for a long time. Way before it should have gotten to a land immediately. They skipped over multiple 'as practical' and 'possibles'.

My body my appendix. I know what they are doing with all those appendixes/appendixeye. They're turning the frogs gay.

Land immediately has some very serious ramifications

A bunch of the more legit twitter trackers are saying the reports of deaths are false. Not that it matters, it's only a matter of time until they do cause deaths.

If they wanted to do real damage they wouldn't have waited. Now they've given time for 'allies' to prep. Hard to believe it'll be anything different than previous. Maybe more to possibly get some hits but who knows.

I'm pretty sure if Israel thought they had or were at end stages of having it, that capability would be set back. They have everything to lose by allowing them the big boomer.

Iranian Channels are claiming that the Commander of the Iranian Police Special Units, Hassan Karami, has been Arrested by Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Charges of Spying and Collaborating with the Israel Intelligence Service, Mossad.

Wasn't this the standard way back in the day?

Gotta be a shitty life to be a shitbag going against Israel. No safe haven ever. Love it.

First sentence was sarcasm 🙂 Just think the timing aspect was too much of a hurdle. Not impossible.

Really, wasn't aware. Thanks. Which do you think is more logical? A 1,000 plus mile sortie like you said for a time sensitive target or a planted bomb. Could be either but I'm leaning towards a planted bomb. Never said your version isn't possible.

Valid

One hell of an air launched munition. Not saying its impossible but more probable that a placed explosive was used. Just based off the timing needed.

It's wild because thats the only reason they are onboard. You'd think they'd be giddy having actual work to do. It's not like there was anything else for them to do for 3+ hours.

https://afjag.usaf.afpims.mil/Portals/77/AIB-Reports/2023/21AUG23 AMC C-17A JBER AIB Report.pdf Interesting report. GS MEP experiences DCS, onboard med crew diagnoses as hyperventilating and doesn't check on him pretty much the entirety of the return to base. Load has to convince them to inform the pilot but its passed to pilot as nothing big. Dude dies the following morning after sliding towards death overnight in the ER. Additionally, one of the 3 airdrop med techs popped hot for alcohol and THC......

If all the issues the MA experienced before the actual causal issue are 'normal', thank god I never ended up on that aircraft. During takeoff from Yokota AB, the MA experienced the first EP of the mishap sortie (MS), "MISSION CMPTR 1 FLT" (Tab DD-47). This occurs, due to a software glitch, when the backup computer automatically takes over while the primary computer restarts, referred to as a ''warm-start" (Tab DD-47). This EP was displayed visually on the CDU and audibly with a master caution tone and necessitated the MC to complete a 29-stcp checklist while flying to MCAS lwakuni, which was completed without issue At lwakuni, after exiting the runway at taxiway F, the MA experienced a second mission computer warm-start (Tab 11-11). The MC verbally acknowledged the warm-start alert and continued via taxiway F2 to the hot pits, an area for re-fueling without shutting down (Tab II-11 to 11-12). When the aircraft stopped in the hot pits, the MSMA TS exited the MA to prepare for refueling operations while the MSMAFE ran the refuel checklist (Tab II-13). The MP monitored fuel flow while discussing departure sequencing and timing with the KC-130Js for air-refueling (Tab 11-18 to 11-20). The MCP and the MSMAFE ran the checklist for the second wann-start (Tab II-13 to 11-15). While refueling, the MA experienced a third warm-start, which caused the Intelligence Broadcast Receiver (IBR) connection to drop, a system required for the MC to receive intelligence information (Tabs DD-47, and II-15). During the time on the ground at MCAS Iwakuni and while the MP was coordinating mission events with other exercise participants, the MA experienced multiple system advisories, mostly associated with the wann-start, to include: a blade fold control unit periodic built-in-test failure, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver failure, an exhaust deflector fail, a radio-frequency jammer failure, and an infrared jammer failure (Tab II-14 to II-17). The MC also nearly over­filled a feed tank due to a ground refuel-defuel panel fail (Tab 11-17). While some of these additional failures were associated with the mission computer fault, they require additional crew attention (Tabs DD-47 and 11-14 to 11-17).
