"Naval aviators are some of the best fliers in the world because of their unique flight operations environment. Things dont always go as planned. The F9 Cougar hits the round end of the deck in a ramp strike causing the jet to burst into flames. Fire and rescue sailors did save the pilot. Some aircraft miss the landing area and can cause the arresting cables to snap and swing around the flight deck which is why that sailor is running away.

"I was fortunate enough to have a couple F-15 Eagle backseat rides while in Actuve Duty. One thing I noticed about the departures. The Eagle Drivers liftoff and go straight up and the wingman often will go right at them With permission from tower wingmen are cleared to use angular cutoff to rejoin on their Flight Lead which creates spectacular departure video like you see here. #aviation #avgeek #eagle #driver #pilot #pilotlife #aircrew #flight #fly #flying #takeoff #landing #photo #photography #viralvideos #videoviral #videos"

"This video illustrates the precision and effects of the GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrator or MOP released in pairs by the B-2 bombers recently. The weapons is so accurate the B-2s dropped several MOPs on the same Desired Mean Points of Impact or DMPIs each driving down deeper. The MOP senses when its about five feet above the floor and detonates sending a devastating blast wave through the entire underground structure because the mountain contains the blast wave inside the facility creating the huge overpressure destroying everything. The GBU-57 was specifically designed for this B-2"

The Air Force budget The USAF is accelerating the retirement of the one airplane all of my soldier and ground pounder buddies love the Hawg. The Hawg will be retired to Davis Monthan Air Force Base within the next three years. What a shame to lose such an incredible air power tool.

How do you make it more lethal Give it SMART AI wingmen The Raptor has been chosen to be the first platform to wirk in concert with Collaborative Combat Vehicles like General Atomics YQF-43 or Andurils YQF-44 Fury CCV on its wings.
