“The purpose of the exercise is to demonstrate a proof-in-concept that Kingsley Field is capable of hosting large-scale cargo aircraft in the event of a Cascadia Subduction Zone natural disaster.”– Lieutenant Colonel Chris Wright, 173rd Fighter Wing, Oregon Air National Guard
In June2019, the Oregon Air National Guard conducted the Cascadia Airlift disaster response exercise. It also included active U.S. Air Force units from Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, and Yokota Air Base in Japan.

The aircrews flew over the Astoria area of Oregon, practicing dropping humanitarian supplies from their C-130J Super Hercules aircraft. Oregon’s Kingsley Field has been selected as a location that might still be accessible after a CSZ (Cascadia Subduction Zone) event, and thereby allow government disaster response personnel to operate from.

Oregon Air National Guard music video report, by Airman First Class Adam Smith, about the 2019 Cascadia Airlift Exercise:
But this was not the first Cascadia Airlift exercise, the first one was in July2018, also in Oregon. This involved C-130Js from Arkansas and Oregon’s 173rd Fighter Wing, on Kingsley Field. This shows the concern over a CSZ as the 173rd operates F-15 Eagle fighters, not C-130J cargo planes: “…we don’t normally host airlift. It was a blank slate and first proof-of-concept.”-Lieutenant Colonel Chris Wright, 173rd Fighter Wing, Oregon Air National Guard

Oregon Air National Guard music video report, by Staff Sergeant Riley Johnson and Technical Sergeant Jason Van Mourik, about the 2018 Cascadia Airlift Exercise:
The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a fault that extends more than 6-hundred miles up the Pacific Coast, from Northern California to Canada, and historically (about every 3-hundred years) has generate 9+ magnitude catastrophic earthquakes, followed by massive tsunamis.

U.S. Navy video by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Paul Seeber, worth only one penny Kitty Hawk leaves Naval Base Kitsap–Bremerton, Washington, for the breakers in Brownsville, Texas, 15JAN2022:
The estimated cost to build the Kitty Hawk range from $200-million to $400-million, in 1961 dollars. It was also estimated that every time the steam powered ‘supercarrier’ was overhauled it cost taxpayers between $65-million and $100-million. Kitty Hawk also underwent an $800-million Service Life Extension Program from 1990 to 1993. And the yearly cost (according to 1996 data) to operate the aircraft carrier was $141-million.
The Supercarrier’s keel was laid in December 1956, launched in May 1960, officially commissioned in April 1961.
Silent USN film by F. J. Stitt, christening of Kitty Hawk, 21MAY1960:
Silent USN film of Kitty Hawk’s commissioning day ceremonies, the film’s slate info is dated March 1961, yet the USN gives the commissioning date as April 1961 (the USN tends to hold the ceremonies a month before the ‘official’ commissionings/decommissionings):
In the middle of November 1961, the brand new CVA-63 took part in its first wargame at Camp Pendleton, California. I edited silent USN films (recorded by personnel with the last names of Miller, and Cobbs) to show just the scenes of CVA-63, there weren’t many scenes of CVA-63:
From 05 June to 07 June 1963, President John F. Kennedy paid a visit to CVA-63, to observe the 32 vessel “fleet weapons demonstration” and give a speech influenced by the previous year’s Cuban Missile Crisis. Silent USN film by J. H. Sturdevant:
In May2009, Kitty Hawk was ‘officially’ decommissioned and sent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, State of Washington, for ‘mothballing’. Kitty Hawk was stricken from Naval records in October 2017.

In March 2021, while the world was grappling with the new Delta Pandemic fear mongering, quietly the Kitty Hawk was moved into Dry Dock 6, of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard-Intermediate Maintenance Facility, to prepare it for scrapping.

After completing its last RimPac (Rim of the Pacific Exercise) in 2008, steam powered Kitty Hawk sailed past its replacement in San Diego, the nuclear powered USS George Washington CV-73. USS George Washington then left to take Kitty Hawk’s place at the port of Yokosuka, Japan, making CV-73 the first ‘forward deployed’ nuclear powered U.S. aircraft carrier.

At least six U.S. Navy TA-7C Corsair-2 training aircraft were sent to Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron VAQ-34 and converted to EA-7L electronic ‘aggressor’ aircraft. Apparently they were still marked as TA-7Cs?
In this photo you can see that these VAQ-34 EA-7Ls(?) are still marked as TA-7Cs on the fuselage sides. VAQ-34 also flew ‘pure’ TA-7Cs, but both these aircraft are carrying black nosed Radar Signal Simulator (RSS) pods.

The EA-7L was the result of Radar Signal Simulator (RSS) testing, also at the PMTC, in 1982.

Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily halted President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private sector workers, including cross border truckers. However, Canada has imposed a vax mandate on truckers crossing the U.S.-Canada border and already Canada is reporting that the cost to truck produce (fruit & veg) from the U.S. into Canada jumped by 25%!
Canada’s vax mandate on truckers began on 15 January, while Biden’s mandate was supposed to start on 22 January. Canada’s mandate is already causing massive delays in shipping, even cancelations, which result in less product in the stores to meet demand, which jacks-up prices. Also, ‘fully’ vaccinated drivers can now command top pay, again causing prices for end users (consumers) to go up.
Driver’s from Mexico, crossing through the U.S. into Canada, must also meet the new vax mandate.
Don’t take my word, here’s a list of links and video reports:
Truck dispatching company, AFT Dispatch/A2C Logistics Co, says Canada-U.S. vax mandates are double whammy for already struggling logistics operations, affecting at least 38-thousand truckers, as well as prices for food, lumber and oil:
CTV News warns of massive loss of drivers, government official says vax mandates are a good thing:
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reports government officials made an ‘error’ in reporting vax mandate for truckers:

“When I heard that a plane had been discovered in the area, I knew exactly whose plane it was.”-Horst Weber, Bitburg Area Historical Club
On 24FEB2010, the wreckage of a U.S. Army 9th Air Force, 353rd Fighter Squadron (FS)-354th Fighter Group (FG) Republic P-47D Thunderbolt, shot down on 14FEB1945, was found in Bitburg, Germany.
Photo dated January 1945. The official 9th Army Air Force info that came with the photo is insulting to armorers as is states “Capt. Kenneth Dahlberg….supervises the loading of the machine guns on his Republic P-47 Thunderbolt…”.
The P-47D was flown by a Captain Kenneth Harry Dahlberg. He was leading his squadron of eight P-47Ds back to their home base in France, from a bombing run on Pruem, Germany. Anti-aircraft gunners in the town of Metterich shot down Dahlberg, he survived the crash, which was his third and final crash because he became a Prisoner of War (PoW) 45 minutes later (Gathering of Eagles website says it was after “several days”).
In 2010, the town of Bitburg wanted to build some new residential units, but local law says before any construction can start an inspection of the ground must be done: “All spots in Bitburg are inspected for bombs and chemicals from World War Two prior to construction because Bitburg was heavily bombed….”-Rudolf Rinnen, Volksbank Bitburg
Investigators looked at books used by model kit builders, to identify the aircraft by the markings that were still visible. USAF photo by Senior Airman Nathanael Callon, 24MAR2010.
“We knew that in this area an American fighter ace was shot down by German anti-aircraft fire and we know through German documentation and reports that the aircraft had landed in this area.”-Horst Weber, Bitburg Area Historical Club

The discovery of Dahlberg’s P-47D was not revealed until 24MAR2010.

Wreckage of U.S. vehicles found in Germany are still property of the United States, however, U.S. officials gave the P-47D parts to the land owner; Volksbank Bitburg. It was hoped some of the parts could somehow be used in a local museum display.

Ken Dahlberg also flew North American P-51 Mustangs.

On 07JAN2022, the commander of 97% fully vaccinated Wright Paterson Air Force Base in Ohio, United States, raised the Health Condition Alert to ‘Delta’, blaming it on infection rates in the civilian communities surrounding the U.S. Air Force base, note that fully vaccinated healthcare workers are getting infected as well, the commander then begs people to wear masks despite the recent proof that masks don’t work:

Is this about lack of staffing at private sector hospitals, is it about private sector hospitals getting free (taxpayer funded) medical help, is it the failure of ‘Obamacare’/ACA healthcare, or is there some other ulterior reason?
