I think these are from recently declassified tests where they planned on landing C-130s in Tehran's downtown municipal soccer stadium to rescue the hostages in 1979. It didn't work, so the moved the operation to Desert One...which didn't work either. HH 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some poor grunt will be assigned to drive it and will get nailed for the scuffs. BTDT. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If you ever wondered what was under the sleek skin of a fighter aircraft, it's just a "rack of equipment necessary to do its job. The Green bottle is liquid Oxygen for the pilot. Can hold more Oxygen in liquid form than as compressed gas in the same volume. The plane is like a truck hauling the stuff you work with. This is from a test aircraft at NASA Dryden in Edwards Airforce Base. I had some work to do there. Sorry that some of these are out of order but I don't do this for a living. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the Soviets sold us the titanium through a series of shell companies set up by the CIA. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampfox762 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 A retired U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress nicknamed 'Damage Inc. II' was recently taken out of storage at the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group's 'boneyard' at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and disassembled before beginning its journey eastward across the country to be partially reassembled for research and development purposes. Now the stripped-down 'BUFF' is on the road and drawing huge amounts of attention. Full story here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
