F-35 videos and pictures don’t count unless we can see a tail number on each aircraft. Just keeping it honest.

If the UN wanted to make a social change in NK, it’ll take 50 years to bring NK anywhere close to the 21st century. The Chinese would have to engineer a regime change and then begin a plan to slowly introduce the populace to life as the Chinese know it today. Each phase of the plan would be a generation apart.

great video.

as an Army guy working at Nellis, once got a ride from Nellis to Holloman on a C-130. The C-130 crew practiced their tactical take-off at Nellis going straight up (I’m holding onto my web seat with both hands).
