Watched that shit on the plan, thoroughly enjoyed it. Russell Crowe was way more believable as a drone pilot than the dudes in Homeland. Considering that I avoided it like the plague...honestly when you think about Ops going FUBAR it's right up there with Red Wings. (And that was real!)Land of Bad starring who cares, only on Netflix.
I made it 5 minutes. I can forgive Hollywood for a lot. Casual conversations inside a Blackhawk because noise doesn't exist.
"You HALO qualified?"
"No."
"You'll figure it out" or a similar exchange.
The Ready Room of the drone squadron, I don't know, maybe it sucks that bad, but I've seen some lackadaisical AF units overseas and even they don't approach that level of stupid.
JTAC asking like a fanboi: Are those the new 5.11 gloves?
Everything about it was horrible, but when I turned it off the Blackhawk was set to climb from a few hundred feet to 15k for a HALO insertion...FROM A FUCKING HELICOPTER, all in 6 minutes. Yup, SOF has those rocketship H-60's that can do about 4k feet per minute.
