Looks like the eagles will be leaving Kadena. Seems weird to pull them before we can fully replace them with squadrons based there. Any rumor who is going to be rotating there? Are the PACAF Viper units going to be doing most of the rotational work?

Word is the NGAD is arriving the first of next year with the SR-72 forward deploying to Guam to replace 82nd RC-135s.

Oh yeah, and don’t forget the more than hyper-active speed almost plad-fast, super maneuverable, AI fighter/bomber…driven by R3D3 and/or Dot Matrix (aka a Winnebago).

Thought someone might have heard some unclass/rumors. Sorry, wont ask about it any more.

Those NGAD timelines aren’t rumor. The 7th Gen Army attack helos (AH-69 “Elizabeth Warrens”) from the 1/1064th CAB are the rumor.

I find it offensive that the Army is still naming their aircraft after Indians (feathers).   That's racist.

Incredible touch giving the helicopter an authentic native American name. Bravo.
