I'm pretty sure it's not "unmarked". The lighting conditions are awful, and faded black paint on the upper 1/4 surfaces of OD green paint simply makes it really hard to see distinguishing markings. It'll always say United States Army anyways, as outside of a few notable operators, the US gubmint are the only ones that operate them over US soil and the Army (which includes the National Guard and Reserves) only fly them in that color scheme.

It MIGHT be possible with some camera trickery to figure out the tail number on the tail pylon, but you're not really gonna get anywhere with it. The crew and their command already either knows about it, and they got peepee spanked for it, or they were told to do it anyway.

This is an A+ model (not likely cause most have been retired) or an L model (almost 100%) due to a few distinguishing features I can go into if the geeks really want to hear it. Point being, It's almost certainly an NC Guard bird.

Yeah, I responded to the guy under you, too. I have an admitted bias where I'd want to clear the crew of wrongdoing, but after watching the whole thing, it really comes down to incompetence vs malice. But even if it's incompetence, what were they incompetently trying to do?

After watching it again and trying to understand the crew's intention (I'll admit with some bias FOR the crew cause I used to do that job) I genuinely can't come up with some reasonable excuse for what they were doing.

On one hand I wanted to say my pilots did some ridiculous things and could put it down whether there was an HLZ or not, but those poles seemed too close. There's no way that behind all the stuff flying around, there was room to put it down. I can't throw a full-on indictment of what they were doing without hearing from the crew themselves, but you may be right.

Eh, I think Macdill will be fine.

What I will say is that if I owned stock in Blackrock, I’d be pretty giddy about now. This storm is supposed to hit St. Petersburg. The houses that get destroyed will be sold off. For the remainder, ESPECIALLY those with beach access, the insurance premiums will be so high, they’ll have to sell, and Blackrock can buy all of it on what are arguably the best beaches in the country.

Were some of his guests bullshit artists? I only got that feeling from one or two of them.

As a former Blackhawk crewchief, what probably happened is they were landing for one reason or another. Thought they’d somehow show up and be heroes and boost morale, maybe drop off or pick up some of the supplies for distribution (back to FEMA where it can go to illegals).

Crewchief in back politely said: “Sir, you’re fuckin everything up. Their shit’s going everywhere, and now they’re gonna hate us even more.”

At which point, Mr wannabe hero pilot decided to depart the area, tail between his legs.

But that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.

If true, that shit will NEVER see the light of day. Either from his own team or his millions of worshippers throughout the system.

Also, before somewhat recently, Finland had a pretty homogenous population. Everybody from the same cultural background. That does a lot, and it's VERY different from the US.

There's a difference between the Biblical Israel and the chunk of land the UN gave to Ashkenazi (read: not a Semitic people) jews, that they decided to name Israel.

Fun fact: Palestinians ARE semitic people. So when Ashkenazi-descended Jews in "Israel" are killing Palestinians, THEY are being anti-semitic. Buuuuuut they'll still call you an anti-semite for not being on board with their genocide.

So many threads titled with what Walz is lying about.

Yeah, that's sorta his thing. He's full of shit and just like his running mate, he knows nobody will call him on it.

Bieber’s mom served him up on a platter to them. Literally gave them custody of him when he was underage.

The problem runs deeper than this guy. But if they string him up, I’ll still take a win where I can get it.

I saw a theory that said just before the election, Hoebag will swoop in with a magical deal to save the day so it looks like she did something of note. After Americans were allowed to suffer for a little while first.

The thing is, Sleepy Joe and the Hoe could go fix their own public perception themselves. But they won't. Because they genuinely do not care.

I don't know that the storm itself was artificially generated or anything. I can be pretty sure that the government response (or lack thereof) is probably related to what North Carolina is sitting on top of.

Ain't no interest like special interests.

Eh, I grew up in the 80's on 80's action movies. That was basically the last time I hated Russians, and I was a dumbass kid, anyway.

I mean, I'm still a dumbass, but I was a kid, then.

All the people excited at the prospect of war, especially on our own turf, have likely never had to fight in one. Yeah, sure, "we" might win. But the country itself would damn sure lose. And it leaves us in a much weaker position against all the potential adversaries we have spent decades pissing off.

Pretty sure the easiest and safest for them is election fraud. They did it blatantly last time and they were not only not held accountable for it, they were rewarded for it. And gaslit anyone who called them out for it. Their propaganda apparatus is strong.

I don’t think Putin is necessarily a “good guy”, but he is definitely a patriot for Russia. He probably won’t go out of his way to screw us over, but he will definitely put the interests of Russia first, and I can’t fault him for that.

He also put the SAVE act on that recent bill, then removed it. That guy has got to be a Dem operative.
