We rarely got drone coverage so most of the time the only way we could know what was going on around us was the Kiowas. Those guys always showed up when we had contact and were excellent at tracking poo poo and even just hanging around while we patrolled.

bitcoin bastard posted:Are hangars filled with multiple multi-million dollar planes ever abandoned to the point where a sentry couldn't pull a fire handle? Yes. We routinely operate Army aircraft (Well, they're DD1149'd to us) out of small private (and uncontrolled) airfields. There aren't "sentries" in the first place, there's probably a security guard at night once the offices shut down, but unless there's night-shift maintenance going on those hangars are locked and dark. The deluge system was required to be installed because otherwise the Army won't let us keep their aircraft in the hangar if it has fuel in it.

That's interesting, and maybe explains why everyone was so excited to "contribute" in Afghanistan. I never witnessed their utility in (nor did I go to) Iraq. But it makes sense that they could do more on flat terrain, without the power concerns of flying at 7000'+ MSL and having to travel 60km+ just to reach their ground POC, etc.

Holy poo poo I'm dumb, that took me four hours to get. Tbf to myself I just kept thinking about how silly it is that the U.S. Air Force contracted out to a Russian plane sperg developer to make their a-10 trainer. Mike-o fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Aug 10, 2015 |

Individual units don't establish their own training materials and that thing doesn't count as a sim for currency or pipeline training. They're either loving around, or that's a very early intro to something or other in the pipeline.

So in other words it's "training" like the "training" my company had playing the military version of ArmA "learning" how to conduct convoy operations but ended up being a team killing free for all with our CO yelling in the background.

It's the RPA version of whatever that thing is that UPT students go through out at Pueblo where they fly around in little Cirrus's or whatever the gently caress for a couple of weeks with old retiree instructors (IFS I think, I can't remember what it's called for the RPA pipeline). It's down at Randolph and every RPA pipeline 18X'er goes through it for a couple weeks before heading to the FTU at Holloman.

On August 7, 1955, Tex Johnston flew a Boeing 707 prototype over Lake Washington and executed two barrel rolls in one of the company's first commercial jets. http://bcove.me/eht5tdrp
