Pretty sure that's ROKAF, judging by the camo and sick air-flare. Just how they do.

I was going to guess RSAF...looks like Mountain Home and they've got a permanent training det up there.

In unrelated news, Russia has recently announced that it would support ethnic Russian separatists in the Sinai in their bid for independence.

So what is the worse fate? ISIS captivity/death or an Addad prison/torture compound?

Depends on if you are a chick or dude.

Having your throat slit and being decapitated in the middle of the street while unpleasant seems quicker than starving in a prison while being tortured.

On the other side, if you are a woman... Being gifted as a 23rd wife to some dude and raped nightly so you pop out a junior jihadis until a random Jordanian air strike scatters you across several counties worth of desert is probably worse than what Assad does.


Though I could be wrong on that.

One of my Uncles was a Military Policeman and he used to tell me stories about how Ministry of Defense accountants would follow armored units around and write out cheques for the trail of destruction left in the German countryside. The farmers got wise to this and started giving cash to tank commanders to drive through wall/fences/barns that needed replacing, which would promptly be paid for by the MOD accountants.

I had no idea the Navy flew planes like this over Vietnam. That seems like a pretty big bomber for the Navy.

They didn;t fly that many attack/bombing sorties. Most of them were used as photo recon for damage assessment

They flew zero attack/bombing sorties, its only combat use was as a recon bird (RA-5C). Since it was only originally designed to carry one big nuke, it had a linear bomb bay in the rear of the plane between the two tailpipes...it was designed to literally poo poo out a nuke. This was obviously way less than optimal for anything other than nukes (and actually didn't work all that well for nukes either), so its primary role was as a recon bird, which it excelled at.

And if you want to talk big planes flying off of carriers, it doesn't get much bigger than the Whale:



It even dropped some bombs in Vietnam:

I could have sworn I read somewhere awhile back that they flew a few missions over the Ho Chi Min trail where they actually dropped bombs, but I can assume you'd be more knowledgeable on the subject than I am

Probably thinking of one of the multitude of other wild wacky aircraft that flew missions over the Trail. From the Navy side you had VO-67's Neptune sub-hunters turned SIGINT delivery platform as well as another squadron (VAH-21 I think?) that used Neptunes modified as gunships to interdict trucks.
