F-15 50th Anniversary: Desert Storm First Blood for USAF, the never ending Tar Baby called Iraq!

Video

The first combat use of the F-15 Eagle was by Israel in 1979, followed by Saudi Arabia in 1984.  First combat use of the F-15 by the U.S. Air Force was during Operation Desert Storm, in 1991.

Five months before Desert Storm, the build-up was called Desert Shield. These F-15C Eagles are patrolling the sky over Saudi Arabian oil operations. U.S. Air Force/33rd Tactical Fighter Wing photo.

Desert Shield: 02AUG1990 to 16JAN1991

Notice the kill marking on this 58th Tactical Fighter Squadron F-15C. The USAF info says this photo was made during Desert Storm, yet the official date of the photo is December 1991! Photo by Technical Sergeant Fernando Serna.

The USAF info that came with this photo is highly dubious. 1st, it states the photo was made in May 1992, more than a year after Desert Storm, yet claims this F-15C is being prepped for a mission during Desert Storm. 2nd, as you will see in the photo below, this Gulf Spirit does not have the kill markings that were applied after Desert Storm. Possibly this photo was made during Desert Storm, but not released until May 1992? Photo by Senior Airman Chris Putnam.

After Desert Storm, France, the United States, and United Kingdom, imposed a ‘no fly zone’ over Iraq.  This Operation Southern Watch would last more than a decade, and help the U.S./NATO invade Iraq in 2003.  Even though the invasion was rationalized by the claim of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which would later be proven false, the invasion of Iraq was dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom (a major clue that it was not about WMDs). This was followed by Operation Inherent Resolve in 2014, supposedly to fight religious extremism that had taken over Iraq as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Even though Operation Inherent Resolve was declared a success in Iraq, in 2019, U.S./NATO forces continue to operate in Iraq.  This means the taxpayers of U.S./NATO have been funding direct military involvement in Iraqi affairs for more than three decades, and the result the leaders of the so called free world promised has yet to materialize.

For many decades after Desert Storm was declared finished, Eagles would continue to patrol over, and even bomb, Iraq. The relatively new F-15E Strike Eagle somewhere in Saudi Arabia, 20MAY1992. USAF photo.

U.S. Food Crisis: Aged infrastructure cuts off water supply to Arkansas school/city, National Guard deployed!

Video

On 28SEP2022, the Arkansas Army National Guard’s 39th Infantry Brigade Combat Team had to deliver 2-thousand gallons of potable (think of it as water clean enough you can put in a pot for cooking and eating, pot-able) water to the Bald Knob School District in White County, Arkansas.

Arkansas Army National Guard photo by Sergeant First Class Jim Heuston, 28SEP2022.

Many reports say only that the water supply line to the school/city was “compromised”.  Classes were canceled on 27SEP2022, and a boil order was also issued for the area south of U.S. Highway 67 and in the Bald Knob North Water Association (boil order ended on 29SEP2022).  The water pipe must be repaired.  The National Guard will continue their water supply operation as long as necessary, and requested by local officials.

Arkansas Army National Guard video by Sergeant First Class Jim Heuston:

According to one local news source, a private sector cable boring crew accidently cut through the main water line, but it was not their fault as they had consulted with local water officials before cutting.   It turns out that the water line is so old it is not listed on any of the water district’s maps!  75% of the city of Bald Knob was affected by the cut line, which is being repaired.  The line also serves people living outside the city limits.

2 & 1/2 Mile Fire, as seen from my backyard in Chubbuck, Idaho.

The wildfire currently called Two and a Half Mile Fire is in an area of Bannock County, Idaho, that has a history of going up in smoke.  Just last month, in the same area, north of Pocatello, on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Fort Hall Reservation land, was the Ross Fork Fire (not to be confused with a current wildfire of the same name in Blaine County).

Photo via BLM.

Today, a warning has been issued for those using the Interstate 15 highway, around the Fort Hall Exit between Pocatello and Blackfoot, firefighting efforts could result in highway traffic being halted of diverted. The Idaho Fire Information website ranks the fire as “extreme”, an evacuation order was issued to anybody living in the 2 1/2 Mile Road/East Ross Fork area.

The fire has burned at least 7-thousand acres since the afternoon of 08SEP2022. Fast winds during the night made the fire worse, it is zero percent contained.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a burn ban for federal reservations in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) issued a Degraded Air Quality warning, and a burn ban for Bannock, Bear Lake, Bingham, Caribou, Franklin, Power and Oneida Counties.  The air quality warnings and burn bans are blamed on the numerous fires in the Pacific Northwest.

USAF Grey Wolf: More proof the U.S. taxpayer is controlled by foreigners!

Video

U.S. Air Force photo by Samuel King Junior, 17AUG2022.

On 24AUG2022, the United States Air Force (USAF) boasted of acquiring its first ever USAF developed helicopter, except that was far from the truth.  The truth is that the USAF spent two years assessing a 20+ years old helicopter design that is already in use by NATO members and even Russia! It is actually built by a NATO Italy aerospace company; Leonardo (aka Leonardo Helicopters).

USAF photo by Samuel King Junior, 17AUG2022.

On 17AUG2022, the MH-139A Grey Wolf took its first official flight as a USAF air asset, from Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.  The assessment process began in December 2019.

Overly dramatic USAF video, by Staff Sergeant Philip Bryant, about the name Grey Wolf, and why it is so important to the USAF to buy a foreign helicopter, 19DEC2019:

The MH-139A will replace the USAF’s aging fleet of U.S. Army developed Viet Nam/Cold War era Bell (now known as Bell Textron) UH-1N ‘Huey’ rotary wings.

USAF photo by Samuel King Junior, 17AUG2022.

USAF video report by Jennifer Vollmer & Jaime Bishopp, 17AUG2022:

The USAF tries to make it sound like the MH-139A Grey Wolf is a U.S. helicopter, while the contract was issued to Boeing, even Boeing admits it isn’t the one building the helicopter!  The Pratt & Whitney turbines are made in NATO Canada, the transmission parts are built in NATO United Kingdom and in Japan, NATO Turkey builds the major fuselage parts, and final assembly is done by Leonardo Helicopters! (Leonardo boasts about its international supply chain)

Over in NATO Europe it is known as the AW139 (AgustaWestland 139). The AW139 was the creation of AgustaWestland.  During the Cold War, and the 1990s, Agusta and Westland were separate companies.  In 2000 they merged into one company, and in 2016 the name was changed to Leonardo.

In the late 1990s, Bell Textron and AgustaWestland worked together to create a new helicopter to compete against rivals Sikorsky and Eurocopter.  The first version was called AB139/BA309, then finally AW139.  The first AW139 flew in 2001. AgustaWestland even opened a final assembly factory in the United States (now known as AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corporation, aka Leonardo Helicopters Pennsylvania), and changed the name of the helicopter to US139, to try and increase their competition with U.S. based Sikorsky, and NATO Europe based Eurocopter, for a U.S. Army contract.  The competition was lost to Eurocopter’s UH-72 Lakota. In 2005, AgustaWestland bought out Bell Textron’s interest in the AW139.  By the end of 2012, AgustaWestland began building AW139s in Russia, the sworn enemy of NATO!  (On March 2022, Leonardo Helicopters halted production in Russia.)

The Leonardo version of the MH-139A is called AW139M.  The 139 series of helicopters is more than 20 years old!

If Leonardo is still operating its AW139 final assembly factory in Pennsylvania, then why is Boeing considered the ‘U.S. contractor’ for the MH-139A?  Some defense journals report that Leonardo and Boeing joined forces. I checked the Boeing website on the morning of 25AUG2022, read all its news releases about the MH-139A, it admits that production of the MH-139A is in Pennsylvania, by Leonardo Helicopters, yet the USAF contract for the MH-139A was awarded to Boeing!  In 2020, the Leonardo website stated that the MH-139A is being built in its Leonardo Helicopters Pennsylvania factory, Boeing isn’t even building the Grey Wolf! Leonardo also revealed that the U.S. Navy is paying $159-million for a bunch of Leonardo helicopters!  Perhaps there is some kind of name-game shell-game going on, the NATO Europe based Leonardo Helicopters made a deal with Boeing just to get lucrative taxpayer funded U.S. military contracts?

Oh and here’s something that should really upset U.S. taxpayers; according to the Leonardo USA website, in April 2022 the U.S. Department of Defense spent $29-million to buy Israel some Leonardo built helicopters!

In March 2022, Leonardo sells the U.S. Department of Energy some helicopters in the name of nuclear power plant security!

Visit the Leonardo USA website to learn about all the U.S. taxpayer funded contracts the foreign company has received over the past few years.

Labor Shortage? U.S. Army begging Soldiers to transfer to Pandemic plagued Korea!

Video

On 23AUG2022, the U.S. Army released a video begging soldiers to voluntarily transfer to Republic of Korea (South Korea).  The request coincides with the 72nd Anniversary of the U.S. Army’s deployment to Korea, but back then U.S. citizens were forced into the military (drafted, ask your grand parents or great grand parents), or sent to prison for refusing (ask Cassius Clay-Muhammad Ali about that).

This video comes a couple of weeks after 8th Army leaders renewed their Pandemic Public Health Emergency Declaration for U.S. Army bases in Korea.
