Thanksgiving Hell: Immigrant Invasion U.S.A., November 2019

Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg) list of main-stream-news links about global immigrant/border operations affecting the United States taxpayers, November 2019.

More proof U.S. dollars are being siphoned away by immigrants! Filipinos in the U.S. prove to be biggest supporters of Philippines’ economy, sending 32-billion U.S. dollars back to their Filipino homes in 2018!    That’s $32-billion that could’ve been spent in the United States!

Despite claims that illegal immigrants are coming to the U.S. for a better life, and that they boost the U.S. economy, a Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry article says  children of undocumented parents in America are more likely to suffer from poverty and reliance on taxpayer funded social services!

While families in the U.S. struggle with food insecurity, it was revealed that at the end of October the USAF delivered enough rice to feed 500-thousand people, in Honduras! It was delivered on a C-17 Globemaster-3 assigned to the 62nd Airlift Wing, out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.

Guam;

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) orders Hawaii National Guard to conduct Vigilant Guard disaster training with the Guam National Guard.  The training includes everything from responding to a natural disaster to responding to a weapon of mass destruction event.

On 18-19 November, the People’s Liberation Army of China traveled to Hawaii to take part in disaster response training with the U.S. Army.  According to military sources, this is the 15th time such ‘disaster management’ training between China and the U.S. took place.

In a possible round-a-bout way of training for the Cascadia Event, personnel with the state Army National Guard were deployed to Bangladesh to take part in a five days Disaster Response Exercise and Exchange (DREE).  The international training for a catastrophic earthquake is considered to be the biggest yet: “There are 20 different countries at this DREE which is great and that means just over 100 individual actual foreign participants which makes up more than 650 participants on opening day. It’s a long way from where we started and you can see the direct impact the DREE program has had over the years.”-Master Sergeant Robert Bentcliff, U.S. Army Pacific Command (USARPAC)

Pacific Ring of Fire, October 2019: “NEW NORM”

Typhoon & WMD event? FEMA deploys Hawaii National Guard to Guam!

For the second time a FEMA disaster event hit Guam.  During the last half of November 2019, Hawaii National Guard’s 93rd Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team deployed to assist Guam’s National Guard in responding to a Mass Destruction event.

In this video, emergency responders inspect a school hit by WMD, dramatic medivac of responder who got contaminated during inspection:

Guam is part of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Region 9, according to reports the U.S. island territory was hit by both a typhoon and a WMD terrorist attack!  Emergency responders from California, New Mexico, Alaska, and Utah also provided assistance.

Fortunately this was part of what is now standard FEMA training for National Guard units across all the FEMA Regions, called Vigilant Guard.

Official video report, Vigilant Guard 2020:

Silly-vilians should be concerned, every year since the creation of Vigilant Guard the scenarios have gotten more elaborate because the U.S. Department of Defense, and FEMA, are expecting something really big to happen.

Painting a P-51 with vinyl decals?

Photos by Fried Color Graphics and Samuel King Junior.

The Air Force Armament Museum (Near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida) recently repainted its TP-51 Mustang, for the first time in more than 30 years. But this time it was ‘painted’ with vinyl decals.

Photo via Fried Color Graphics, July 2019.

The idea is credited to iSpark and the 96th Test Wing innovation office.  Originally the museum’s director wanted to vinyl wrap an outdoor aircraft display’s painted canopy so it would look like glass.

Photo via Fried Color Graphics, July 2019.

Employees kept adding ideas concerning what could be wrapped until finally they asked ‘why not wrap the entire display’?  Vinyl wrapping is waterproof and is used on yachts, luxury vehicles,  racecars and advertising vehicles.

Photo via Fried Color Graphics, July 2019.

U.S. Air Force photo by Samuel King Junior, 28OCT2019.

Once the U.S. Air Force approved of the idea the problem was getting funding.  That’s when iSpark, which owns the Armstrong vinyl flooring maker, immediately funded the wrapping project.

Oh no, not another hanging chad! Photo via Fried Color Graphics, July 2019.

Another plus to wrapping the 1:1 scale Mustang was that the indoor display aircraft could be ‘painted’ where it sat.  It also took only one person (a local contractor) ten days (during July 2019) to wrap the Mustang in the colors of the Tuskegee Airman Mustang  flown by Charles Bailey (never mind that the museum’s Mustang is two seat TP-51, as indicated by the bigger canopy and second seat in the cockpit).

U.S. Air Force photo by Samuel King Junior, 28OCT2019.

Contractor Gary Householder said he could’ve gotten the wrap done in less than ten days but “Whenever I’m working on a wrap, people tend to like to watch. This time, they just thought I was a museum employee.”

Photo via Fried Color Graphics, July 2019.

The Air Force Armament Museum plans to wrap as many of its display aircraft as it can.

The paint scheme resembles the late World War Two/Korean conflict U.S. night fighter paint-job; black with red markings.  However, in WW-2/Korea the black was glossy as U.S. Army Air Force studies revealed that amazingly glossy black actually was harder to see from the ground with search lights, than a flat/matte (‘nonspecular’ as it was called back then) black.  The new F-16 Wraith uses flat black.

Oregon Mohawk flies again (sort of) & some other Mohawk news

OV means Operational View, and OV-1 sounds like Obi-Wan.  The OV-1 entered production in October 1959 and served in United States, Europe, Korea, Israel, VietNam, Central and South America, and during Desert Shield/Desert Storm in the Middle East. The Mohawk retired from U.S. service in September 1996. At least 133 OV-1Cs were built (sources vary, as many as 169?), the C designating the model which used an IR (InfaRed) imaging system in the nose.

Oregon National Guard’s Project 926, move the old tail number 926 OV-1C Mohawk ‘gate guard’ to a better location.

23OCT2019 was the culmination of three years of volunteer work by Oregon National Guard retirees who worked and flew the OV-1 Mohawk from 1972 to 1992.  Almost all of that three years was spent restoring the gate guard.

The new home of the 926 Mohawk is at Deibert Flight Facility, Army Aviation Support Facility.

The official dedication ceremony was held 02NOV2019.

Video of relocation operations called Project 926:

See more about Oregon National Guard’s long use of the Mohawk here (OV-1 Mohawks in Oregon).

The 02NOV2019 dedication for the new home of 926 came one day after a pilot was killed flying a Mohawk, while preparing for an air show in Florida.

Doctor Joe Masessa, of Mohawk Airshows, was killed when he lost control of the aircraft during a practice flight.  Updated news reports said the air show was forced to cancel all flights due to bad weather.

Mohawk Airshows flies the POW-MIA ‘flying monument’.

Somebody needs to make a decal sheet of the Flying Monument.

In the early 1980s, NASA created an automated stall-speed warning system for OV-1Cs.

From February 1983, a NASA-U.S. Army operated Grumman OV-1C over Edwards AFB.

U.S. Army-NASA OV-1C Mohawk, automated stall warning system tests @ Edwards AFB, July 1983.

Hasegawa’s now ancient 1:72 scale OV-1B (also issued by Frog in the early 1970s) can be easily modified to a C version by scratch-building the IR glass in the nose.

Roden’s 1:48 scale D boxing depicts the IR nosed Mohawk.  The D Mohawk is simply a consolidation of all the best upgrades from previous versions.  Oddly, Roden’s C boxing does not depict the IR nose, and the instructions even tell you not to use the IR nose part (which is included on the clear sprue of every Roden Mohawk kit).

Roden’s C version also does not come with the SLAR, but you still need to get it because it comes with fuselage mounted flare dispensers and ‘classified’ electronic recon under-wing pods.

‘Aftermarket’ companies produce a variety of detailing/correction sets for the Hasegawa and Roden kits: Eduard, Cobra Company and Black Dog.

Idaho National Guard A-10Cs in the foreground, NASA’s DC-8 FIREX-AQ takes off from Gowen Field (Boise Airport), 30JUL2019.

President Donald Trump is portrayed by the ‘main-stream’ news media as being anti-climate, yet since he became President of the United States NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration) has seemingly increased its studies of the effects of pollution and wildfires (including prescribed burns and agricultural fires) on the atmosphere.

On 23JUL2019, NASA held an explainer day for Idaho news media, and as you can tell not many showed up. Idaho Air National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Joshua C. Allmaras.

The latest study is called FIREX-AQ (Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality), and from 22 July thru 18 August it called Gowen Field, Idaho, its home base.

Loading computers onto a Twin Otter.

FIREX-AQ also uses Twin Otter aircraft from NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration), as well as satellites.

NASA’s ER-2 ‘climate-spy-plane’ based in California is also used.
