U.S. Wildfire, 2022: Ross Fork Fire, Idaho

Video August 11, 2022 Hutchins AAron

At about 18:00, 09AUG2022, I noticed a lot of smoke northeast of where I live in Chubbuck, Idaho.

The fire grew as the sun went down.

It glowed through out the night. The wind was blowing north, northeast. During the night a strong windstorm blew in from the west (it was not forecasted). The next day, local news media reported the fire was located on the east side of the Fort Hall Reservation, homes were evacuated, burning at least 2-thousand-5-hundred acers (more than 1000 hectares). By the afternoon there were conflicting reports about the fire; TV news said it was under control and evacuations canceled, while newspapers reported it had re-ignited, was spreading and forcing more evacuations. I believe the newspapers because there was a sudden non-stop bucket brigade of water bomber flights from the Pocatello Airtanker Base.

Some video I made from my backyard, of Air Tractors and a MD87, flying over Chubbuck, on their way to bomb the Ross Fork Fire:

It should be noted that the Pocatello Airtanker Base, on the Pocatello Regional Airport, was undergoing an expansion of its ‘pit’ operations for water bombers, and was not expected to be operational until July, or “until further notice”. Obviously, the U.S. Forest Service airtanker operations are now up and running. That is what you call ‘perfect timing’!

Some video I made of an Air Tractor and RJ85 being put to bed after a busy day of water bombing (they can only water-bomb during daylight):

As of 23:30, 10AUG2022, the Ross Fork Fire is still burning. The wind changed direction and kicked-up, this time we got teased with a little bit of rain. Thunderstorms are forecasted, but they’ve been bringing us more lightning than needed rain. There was also a wildfire in Power County, west of here, but it is supposedly extinguished.

The same area has a history of catching fire, July 2013:

Cold War & Beyond: Tupolev 16 Badger

Video August 8, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Tupolev 16, NATO reporting name Badger.

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

The prototype of the Soviet Tu-16 was the Tu-88, which first flew in Spring 1952, production of the Tu-16 began in December 1952. China still produces its own version.

Silent Soviet films, from 1957, showing-off their new Tupolev 16:

On 25MAY1968, the U.S. Navy (USN) carrier group led by USS Essex CVS-9 was ‘badgered’ by several Soviet aircraft, including variants of the Tu-16, while sailing through the Norwegian Sea. It ended badly for one hot-shot Badger.

Silent USN film of Tu-16 Badger C:

Silent USN film of Badger C and Badger G:

A Badger gets danger-close to the USS Essex, while other Badgers fly at sea level:

The USN claimed one of the hot-shot Badgers crashed while sea skimming, and USN Sea Kings were dispatched to rescue the Soviet Tu-16 crew. The silent, and faded, film shows a Tu-16 buzzing USS Essex, then on the horizon can barely be seen the smoke plume of the crashed Badger, other Tu-16s continue to overfly CVS-9:

Unfortunately the Badger crew did not survive, what was recovered by the USN was handed over to a Soviet Kotlin class destroyer with the hull number of 311, which had pulled along side the USS Essex:

After taking on the bodies of the Badger crew, hull number 311 gives a salute with its main guns, and sails away:

How many times has U.S. led NATO sworn that it is not expanding towards Russia? The first ever permanent U.S. military base in NATO Poland now has an official name: Camp Kościuszko.

On 29JUN2022, U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior announced that a once temporary (used for rotational troop deployments) U.S. base in Poland would become permanent (meaning there will be a permanent U.S. military presence), making it the nearest U.S. base, in Europe, to Russia.

On 30JUL2022, a ceremony was held in Poland, announcing a name for the new U.S. base, named after Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish-Lithuanian military officer who joined the American Revolution against the British Empire in June 1776. After the war that created the United States, General Kościuszko returned to Poland in August 1784.

Residents of Kentucky reporting that this year’s flooding is the worst they’ve seen, with the Governor saying the death toll will hit double digits. State officials declared it to be catastrophic, and admitting they don’t have the labor to adequately respond to calls for rescues. Next door neighbor West Virginia is sending help.

Between July 22nd and 26th, 2022, the Austin-class amphibious transport dock-ship USS Denver (LPD 9) was slowly executed by U.S. and Japanese air and ground launched ‘firing squads’, more than 50 nautical miles north of Kauai, Hawaii, during wargame RimPac (Rim of the Pacific) 2022. Dramatic U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist Second Class Andre T. Richard:

The ground forces of the United States and Japan used Type 12 anti-ship missiles, as well as missiles launched by HIMARS.

Towards the end of 2021, Jordan donated two of its Cold War era AH-1S/F Cobras to the Philippine Air Force. The donation actually officially happened in 2018, but the Filipino pilots had been training in Jordan, including becoming AH-1S/F instructors, and were not ready until 2021 (delayed by the Pandemic?).

In 2020, there was a report that Jordan was getting rid of its AH-1S/F Cobras, which is shocking considering they underwent major upgrades in the United States in 2018-19.

On 12JUL2022, naval forces from Australia, Canada, Malaysia, and the United States, intentionally attacked the Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided missile frigate, USS Rodney M. Davis (FFG 60), using Harpoon anti-ship missiles.

It was part of the Sinking Exercise (SinkEx), during the Rim of the Pacific (RimPac) wargames near Hawaii. RimPac is conducted from June 29 through August 4, and involves 26 countries, 38 ships, four submarines, more than 170 aircraft and 25-thousand personnel rampaging around Hawaii and California. RimPac wargames are left-over from the Cold War, starting in 1971.

USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6): Punishments for lack of leadership

July 18, 2022 Hutchins AAron

In July 2020, the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) was undergoing $250-million in upgrades when it was set on fire and destroyed by a disgruntled Sailor (now awaiting Court Martial). In 2021, U.S. Navy (USN) investigators determined that pervasive lack of leadership onboard USS Bonhomme Richard created the environment that led to the sabotage. In July 2022, the USN announced punishments for at least 20 personnel in leadership positions, including the ship’s commanding officer. The disciplines range from letters of reprimand to loss of pay. A letter of censure has also been issued to the former commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

This year’s fire season doesn’t seem as profuse as previous years. Don’t tell that to people in Oklahoma, already more than 8-thousand acres (3237 hectares) have burned since 14JUL2022.

KOCO report from 15JUL2022, points out that the fire is negatively affecting a major food source:

On 16JUL2022, more than 30 personnel from the 850th Military Police Battalion deployed to help fill more than 5-thousand sandbags. Then, the next day (17JUL2022), approximately 60 additional personnel of the Arizona National Guard deployed to the Coconino County Public Works Department, to help fill as many as 600-thousand sandbags before the end of the week.

This is due to monsoon flooding, which caused ‘shelter-in-place’ orders to be issued to some of the residents of areas that had been devastated by wildfires in recent years, the burn areas now become zones of large flash flooding during the monsoon season.
