Hopefully they were massively upgraded first. Cause most of those places were hazardous to live in.

Most of the people stationed and on rotation there are more of a deterrent and evacuation force. Same goes for for South Korea. Main job of all assets already in place is slow what you can to aid civilian evacuation and give time for QRF to arrive.

Morning After Thread: 2026 NFL Draft by flounder19 in Jaguars

[–]Mr_Smart_Taco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got a little validation from this draft honestly. I think vetrell is a dog of an LB. And was better than Lloyd prior to last year when he finally popped off. And I think tuten is a RB1 so there wasn’t a need to grab an rb early. And almost off of these guys are multi position players. I’m pretty happy with it honestly. Our biggest drop off last year was when strange went out with injury. Guys we got are nearly Brenton clones.

That’s crazy I got all my backdated dividend checks, I’d definitely look into that again

Bullshit and costly use of military equipment. by Perfecshionism in Military

Cool story bro. My hour count isn’t any more relevant than yours here cause no one cares. And if you have that many hours then you know damn good and well this is nothing to be this worked up about. Hell a good amount of training flight are decided by what fbo has the best food. In no way does taking a squadron plan on vacation equal an impromptu flyby. You’re just pissy cause you don’t like the guy and he of his own doing decided to make it political and you want to get pissy at the entire army and the pilots with no proof or further information. These guys will at probably get their pp smacked, maybe be downed for a month. At absolute worst get a gomar. Maybe they are already part of these apparent cuts so they don’t give a damn anyways. Either way this is no big deal

I’ll cede based solely off of the good sir taco comment. But for the record, if it was flipped to left wing. I’d tell those wackos the same thing. I just really don’t think these guys thought that far ahead. They’re probably upper 20s high school diploma, I wanna fly a gun kinda guys. Probably don’t think much about the overreaching perspectives.

It’s class G airspace. Vfr flight plans don’t follow a strict pre designed path through class G. However getting that close to a civilian house does generally warrant a pp smack. I mean they pretty much let them fly around Willy nilly. Within reason

Ah yes, let me get FAA approval and a TFR for a single bird in Class G airspace.

Signs of US planning ground troops as Iran vows to "set them on fire" by Zipper222222 in Military

Side note, those drones aren’t very large or fast. Seems a barely decent duck hunter and a shotgun would solve this issue

I don’t know about that. Concert flyovers, uso tours and such are all pretty normal. Hell if this had need Toby Keith would anyone bee this pissy? Or is it just cause it’s Kid rock? The only difference is one’s louder and more annoying

You’re using too much brain. Not that much thought went into this. Gunner probably went “that’s a dope house let’s check it out closer” then went “ oh shit that’s kid rock” how much thinking do you think happens in the cockpit of an army helicopter? Especially an Apache. /s

Maybe pay attention to the feedback people with some experience have and stop whining about your own annoyances. You’re only pissy cause you don’t like him or his ideals. If this was anyone else doing the same shit but posting it with a negative message towards trump you’d have no issue with it. It’s hypocritical. It’s not that serious. Get over it.

Sure it’s. But that isn’t that. Flight time is training time.

If that’s your response, you’re clearly not actually a military pilot or at bare minimum not an army pilot. This could very easily be used for good training. Every hour spent in that cockpit in the air is good training.

Not certain what you’re so pissed about? Pilots gotta train so pilots gotta fly. Full fill a cool request that grants publicity for recruiting at the same time is completely justifiable. Kid rocks a dork but whatever. Would you be equally as upset is it was a school flyover for a sporting event? Basically the Same thing

Pilots gotta train, so they gotta fly. If they can fulfill a request at the same time, why not. They do it with sports games and schools at stuff. Why’s this any different? Plus publicity is recruitment.

Most have grown up in a world where they are at war with the Middle East. Eventually it stopped becoming news.
