Surf70 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Missile security and support is our primary gig. The civil-SAR mission is an additional mission that we perform for the MT-ID-WY area. Granted its the most challenging/rewarding/sought after mission that we do, but it's still secondary. Do you guys deploy? And can you arm up meaning put the guns on the UH-1N (M-60 in the doors, etc.)? Or are you just plain Jane Slicks?
HuggyU2 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 The Strike Eagle bros did some damn good work, I must say. What did the counter-offensive consist of?

We only deploy as Mi-17 advisors. No we do not have guns on the helicopters. Although AFGSC has enough to guns and mounts all three units, they position is that the risk outweighs the benefits (which is a whole other story).
EvilEagle Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 What did the counter-offensive consist of?The Tigers took the TS shred bits (basically like powder) and covered the floor of their squadron with it, then dumped 12 cases (yes, cases) of honey roasted peanuts on top and stomped around on it. (yes, this is a bit odd, but it'll do) Also, their cc's room got jacked with; someone we know makes noise makers that are light sensitive. Much much more was in the works until the truce was called. Oh yeah, the Tigers make a picture of a tiger humping engine #3 from behind. They animated it. And put it in the wing slide show. (golf clap) 1

(golf clap) The non-animated cards they were handing out at the bar were priceless. Wing slide show animation = hilarious.
EvilEagle Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Speaking of which, here's what it looks like.
B.M. Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Speaking of which, here's what it looks like. Well played! Minor point, the tail engine is #2, not 3.
Slander Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Minor point, the tail engine is #2, not 3. Thanks, Neil. 1
B.M. Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks, Neil. Outstanding point -- it matters not which engine is which. I should've corrected his punctuation and grammar instead. Now, THAT'S important!
Majestik Møøse Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 ...covered the floor of their squadron with it, then dumped 12 cases (yes, cases) of honey roasted peanuts on top and stomped around on it. (yes, this is a bit odd, but it'll do) Also, their cc's room got jacked with... Pretty slick considering they managed to elude the ADO, intel guy, bus drivers, and the stepping/returning crews. Must've been during the midnight food push to Roy's. I place the blame squarely on the ADO! Unfortunately for everyone, boom operators will always have the last laugh. They're they only ones willing to involve fecal matter.
BQZip01 Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Speaking of which, here's what it looks like. Well done
Soon To Be E6B Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 There is an AC and MC in that set. MC-130W is now the AC-130W...
StoleIt Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 MC-130W is now the AC-130W... Damn scheduler lied to me again...
Dead Last Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 MC-130W is now the AC-130W... And it has been for the better part of a year... I also believe I'm in the pilot seat for one of those pics and no I did not give my tail number cheers
StoleIt Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 And it has been for the better part of a year... I also believe I'm in the pilot seat for one of those pics and no I did not give my tail number cheers We had a brand new boom on that flight. I tell him to always try and read it from the jet and only if he can't to ask...doesn't always work out though. And PM me your email and I'll send you higher quality if you'd like. These were taken about a month ago.
Prozac Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I love the little stick figures stencilled on the side of the AC. Nice touch gents.
DEVIL Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) T6B Too bad air force studs won't be in those anymore, super fun chill training EDIT: to add this buzzkill, that picture is ripped off of Greg L Davis (unless you're him) and his website https://focalplaneimagery.smugmug.com/ some great A2A pics on there of other stuff too.

I'm not that guy. I just pulled it off the web. That is my squadron though and those T6B photos are all over the squadron. I wonder if we have permission to use them. Thanks for the website, I think I'm going to E-mail him and ask.
