vsu8992 Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 Good on the hornet community. And with press rolling out negative F-35 press this week(O2 issue) the media will have a field day with this. WSV will be leaked within the hour.. When was the last DoD a/a kill registered anyway ? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

DirkDiggler Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 I feel a strong disturbance in the Force, like a 1000 Eagle and Raptor pilots collectively groaning in agony.... 20
nsplayr Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Here's a leaked photo from the deck of the H.W. Bush after the crews returned to the ship: 2
Bender Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Here's a leaked photo from the deck of the H.W. Bush after the crews returned to the ship:Thinking on how probable that scene is in the military as I know it, I have a renewed appreciation for exactly how gay that movie is.I always prefer to point out how little studying happens in that movie compared to flying...false advertising at best, but hey...your propaganda only has to be 0.000% true.Either way, I heard Kilmer and Cruise didn't get along on set...I think there was a couple good hate fvcks that simply got misinterpreted. Media...psssh.BendySent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
Bender Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Heard it was an ally airplane?Is that a question or a statement? By ally you mean allied? That said/asked, no...I have not.Although, it would take less to surprise me with the direction we're going,BendySent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums
VMFA187 Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 The Hornet underground is saying the pilot with the kill is now in the hospital with a broken arm from all the high fives. 8
Bender Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 The Hornet underground is saying the pilot with the kill is now in the hospital with a broken arm from all the high fives.It's the second one across the bottom that gets you...just because you saw it in a movie once doesn't mean you, yourself can pull it off.Stay safe boys and girls,BendySent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Vito Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 I'm sure as soon as that hornet pilot trapped he was whisked away to debrief and media quarantine! No high fives and parties topside.

No high fives and parties topside.Not true...see pictures, photos, GIFs, etc. above.Maybe you're just too old to know how legit those are. Much celebrating was had.Stop derailing fun with reality. That is no way to get ahead in his man's military!!!BendySent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

LiquidSky Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 "In the combat mission zones of the Russian aviation in the air space of Syria, all kinds of airborne vehicles, including aircraft and UAVs of the international coalition detected to the west of the Euphrates River will be tracked by the Russian SAM systems as air targets." - Russian Defence Ministry More posturing?
xaarman Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 IMHO posturing. Turkey literally shot down one of Russia's planes, and all they did was "increase sanctions." AFAIK, we haven't touched anything Russian at this point, I don't think they want to give us a reason... everything has been strictly anti Assad.
Smokin Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Did he do a victory roll over the carrier prior to landing?
matmacwc Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Growler shoots down a fitter, definitely a joke in there somewhere
