Israel and Iran

Two craziest news stories, no particular order. 1- bye, Iranian Navy.


2- not 1, not 2, but THREE F-15EX's got clapped up by our own systems. Word on the streets is that there was some process leading pilots to either squawk incorrectly or not squawk, and our "allies" got a littly itchy on the trigger finger and Patriot batteries tuned them up. All 5 pilots recovered, with some injuries, but nothing crazy.

The F-15s were "E" model, all three from same squadron from nearby Seymour Johnson AFB. I am certain the families are happy, but man, that tarmac gonna look a little bare.

Can't lie, this gives me warm fuzzies.

The fact that submariners are reportedly sinking ships with torpedoes is crazy. When was the last time they got to do that? Those dudes gotta be losing their minds. 😂

Losing three at the same time is very unusual event. Will be interested in hearing more about what happened.

While not a life threatening, one of the pilots/WSOs did appear to have a likely career ending injury.

That hand did not look good. Danger of a two seater AC... one seat decides, the other seat rides.
