I wonder if in this "Space Force" all space-based capabilities and effects will be transferred. In addition to the AF-Navy interservice rivalries, will the NRO give up their birds as well? They have a very large presence, (ex. 1/3 of the 2016 ULA manifest was dedicated to NRO payloads), plus multiple ground stations. If we're really going to create a new domain based service, better to move all of the white and black programs together instead of peace-mealing it.

The Navy will bust get them first.

Also don't forget about the AN-2 bombing of Lima Site 85 in Laos.

WSV and MISREP are definitely worth a look.

There goes a lot of the LO.

Just like every HH-60 with multiple 308 beam cracks and wobbly probes.

Why else would Clovis have a Chamber of Commerce?

Soviet HAVE DOUGHNUT

Looks like it still has better performance than a 58D

GE already was working on an alternate engine (F136) before the funding was pulled. It wasn't af adaptive cycle, just a normal turbo fan based on their earlier F120. The whole argument for two engines came from the great engine war in the 1980s and hadn't been talked about before or since then. The F-4 rocked the J79 for x-thousand aircraft, there is no reason F-35 cannot do the same.

Remember the time they lost?

Here is the best we've got now. All of the executive summaries are no longer automatically uploaded and it seems to be the bigger mishaps that have reports. Also it only gets updated 1-2 times per month.

Obama wasn't a lame duck when Scalia died and Garland was nominated. He still had 9 months left before the election and nea 20% of his term remaining. "Advise and consent" does not mean not even entertaining a hearing. If they determined that his qualifications did not meet the standards required for the high court then the Senate could vote appropriately.

I bet it will be like Benghazi. The opposition will not let it go.

What was the point of specifying in the JTR change that the fixed rate per diem was to allow travelers to find the "best value" if locations that provide it will result in "disciplinary action by the commander"?

The Draken A-4

AIB is out for the HH-60G crash. Crew is extremely lucky that there were no fatalities. The unintended closure of two helicopters and a pilot’s overcorrection to avoid collision resulted in the crash of an HH-60G helicopter and the injury of its crew on Aug. 18, 2016, at the Nevada Test and Training Range near Nellis AFB, Nev., according to an Air Combat Command Accident Investigation Board report released today. The mishap occurred during a night tactical formation mission at the NTTR in support of a large-force exercise. The helicopter, assigned to the 66th Rescue Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., was trailing another aircraft in maneuvers close to the ground when the mishap occurred. The flight path of the two helicopters began to converge due to mountainous terrain. The mishap aircraft gunner observed the closing distance and called for an immediate turn away from the other helicopter. To avoid collision, the copilot made a 70-degree banked right turn. At this overbanked angle, the helicopter could no longer maintain altitude. Despite efforts to recover, the helicopter was already at a low altitude, descended rapidly, and impacted the ground. Upon impact, the helicopter rolled, resulting in injuries to the crewmembers. The crewmembers were flown to a local hospital where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released. The HH-60G was completely destroyed, with a government loss of approximately $21.4 million. There were no civilian injuries or damage to personal property on the ground.

About one 11H per FTW is all the functional will release so you'd be lucky if you saw a helicopter pilot out there, much less an HH-60. Current gouge is that you will go to Ft Rucker, fly for 5-6 months and then wait 6 months to a year after graduation to attend the FTU at Kirtland, where you will spend an additional 6-9 months training in a 3-5 month program (depending on which platform).

Yes

Ft Rucker currently does this with SUPT-H. Blue-suiters teach contact/EP/Instruments in the aircraft and in the sim.

So, the old rule.
