"The aircraft operate out of Oklahoma City using the callsign WOLFXX. Ive seen two of them on flight trackers: - N330FL a 737-800 freighter run by startup 7Air Cargo out of Miami - N308BR another -XXX freighter previously owned by BlackRock and likely leased to AAR /7"

"Having done large force exercises (LFEs) with both E-2 and E-3 crews the USAF role for its AWACS is much broader. Air Force needs a much more self-contained system that can push forward and manage the battle problem on a much broader scale. /4"

"The Navy just brought back a smart ideatraining E-6 TACAMO pilots in commercial 737s. Its a return to a strategy thats cheaper and more sustainable for low-density high-demand fleets. Heres whats happening and why it matters. 🧵"

"A VAW colleague put it to me this way (paraphrasing for space). An E-2 is a great controller and gets sensors out away from the CSG but it's a node to feed information and tracks into the wider air defense system not the entirety of the C2 system itself. /3"

"A few years ago NAVAIR tried a different solution: acquiring an ex-RAF E-3D Sentry to convert into a flying trainer. But the airframe wasnt viable and they lacked the data to remove the dome. Instead of flying the aircraft is now being harvested for spare parts. /5"

"@johnkonrad Ambivalent but will do it for the lolz. Titanic sinking was case of insurance fraud. Damaged RMS Olympic was disguised as Titanic and sunk after collision with HMS Hawke rendered her unserviceable. Real Titanic served decades more as liner and troop ship. Fun to noodle on"

"@RSE_VB A few years ago some bozo in VRC reported his own squadron to the base for not having appropriate paperwork for their bar. Emailed the IG I heard. Super popular for the rest of the tour"

"This spring the Navy awarded a new contract for contractor-owned government-operated (COGO) B737 flight hours. The award went to a joint venture between Kira and AAR Corp. Result: E-6 pilots are back in the air training in actual B737s without burning E-6 flight hours. /6"
