Yeah, you should have seen the poor kid sitting in that court room while everyone else was trying, and rarely suceeding, to keep a straight face.....

The other thing to add to your post: These guys fall under the USAF’s training command. I’ve never seen a more up tight PITA system than that one. Everyone is watched like hawk until they’re out of the training pipeline. They are always looking for reasons to bust people.
I don’t know, one time our deployed chow hall delivery was a week late. We had to pretty much eat hamburgers and fries for like a week straight. Missed my steak and lobster Friday dam it!
I’ve witnessed members who have been successfully prosecuted Art 108 “destruction of government property” due to sunburns bad enough that they were hospitalized. In the 90’s a lot of piercings and tattoos art 108 occurred and still do.
The 747 cruise missile platform never really took off as you could do the same thing with the B-52. Look at a B-52 carrying a full load of ALCMS in the bay as well as out on the pylons.
Great article Tyler, Love seeing the ideas that never quite made it.
Tyler, when I was a kid one of my neighbors (ret) in Florida was one of the designers on the original F-4 project. He gave me a really fun fact: Every cant and angle of the main wing and empennage assembly was in order to fix a flaw in the handling characteristics.
It’s rare, but catching people violating the CB rules does happen. When I was still active duty we used to help the FCC catch people that were pushing to much wattage or were intimidating other users.
As the Salton Sea is there by an engineering accident and not a natural body of water, I’m not to concerned that it is disappearing.
When I was stationed at Osan, We had one that apparently couldn’t dump the fuel for whatever reason. I got to watch them run up behind them in pickups to reattach the outriggers while it was landing. That took some balls!
Uh, that blackhead remover isn’t quite right......

Bigger than I thought. But being retired USAF; I know my fellow US Navy counterparts will still refer to it as “Cute”.
No offense, but your version of an “enormous aircraft carrier” is lacking.
Netflix is hosted on “Amazon Web Services”. Much of that infrastructure as been built up to handle both the amazon streaming and Netflix requirments. So the bandwidth between the two is not a consideration.
You do not understand that with the possible exception of the 1991 gulf war, the US military is almost always fighting with 1 or both hands tied behind its back. You’ve never seen what it could do once totally unleashed.
If it was an order to suppress an armed rebellion over an administration that has “repealed or curtailed the second Amendment” then yes, the military would not follow the orders of the president. It is in fact by oath and founding principles laid out by the original goverment, dedicated to returning the government…
Sorry, but gas guzzling oversized vehicles transporting just one person is an old fad that is all but dead.
I think you might want to read up on old Ed Gein....
The constitution and framing of the government itself, to include the original 10 amendments are considered sacrosanct.
