...as if we didn't expect it. Around 3am central time Special Forces connected with AFSOC deployed. No idea where as of yet, but was sudden, from a central CONUS base. Airmen had less than an hour notice to be on flight. I hope to God we're not going to push our luck "over there". This info came to me DIRECT from one deploying..

Don't forget look up videos of people standing behind active plane engines while taxi-ing.
Then look at that video and look at the crowd behind the engine (which is apparently super quiet, and producing no fumes) who are not getting blasted hundreds of feet away.
Or the people riding the front landing gear... who would otherwise get crushed... plus they almost look like they're pushing/ pulling the plane.
You also can't see the reae landing gear, despite the outward placement you should still see it even with the shadows..
Let alone the cockpit "glass"
Or lack of bolt patterns, or nose cone.
