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

Video December 2, 2019 Hutchins AAron

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.

Vehicle I-D: New F-16 Wraith! Night Fighter WW-2 style!

Video November 12, 2019 Hutchins AAron

U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Miranda A. Loera, 28OCT2019.

On 28OCT2019 the 64th Aggressor Squadron (Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada) revealed their new ‘Wraith’ paint-job for the F-16.

USAF photo by Airman First Class Bryan Guthrie, 16NOV2019.

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.

The commander of the 57th Wing crowdsourced the new livery to be applied to the 64th Aggressor Squadron’s F-16C. But it’s not the first time an F-16 was painted black (New Black And Red Aggressor Paint Job).

“We will search as much as the crew duty day, gas and conditions allow us until we find our brother in arms.”-Lieutenant Colonel Chad Senior, 920th Deputy Group Commander/Combat Rescue Officer

The U.S. Air Force reports that a Special Tactics Airman (24th Special Ops Wing) went missing while taking part in static line jump training over the Gulf of Mexico.

Video, 39th Rescue Squadron preps HC-130N Combat King for search mission, Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, 06NOV2019:

Since 05NOV2019, crews onboard a HC-130N Combat King and HH-60G Black Hawks are searching for the Airman. USAF-Reserve, U.S. Army, Coast Guard, Florida Fish & Wildlife and even local Sheriff’s units are helping with the search.

Official USAF announcements stated the Airman made an “unintentional water landing”. At this time the USAF is not reporting any details about the incident.

Real short thermal image video of 27OCT2019 X-37B landing:

“The sky is no longer the limit for the Air Force and, if Congress approves, the U.S. Space Force.”-General David L. Goldfein, U.S. Air Force

After two years in orbit, the space drone X-37B returned to Earth, setting a record: “The X-37B continues to demonstrate the importance of a reusable spaceplane. Each successive mission advances our nation’s space capabilities.”-Barbara Barrett, Secretary of the Air Force

Photo via Space Launch Delta 45.

At 03:15 Eastern U.S. Time, 27OCT2019, the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) landed at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, completing 780 days in orbit during its fifth test mission: “This program continues to push the envelope as the world’s only reusable space vehicle. With a successful landing today, the X-37B completed its longest flight to date and successfully completed all mission objectives. This mission successfully hosted Air Force Research Laboratory experiments, among others, as well as providing a ride for small satellites.”-Randy Walden, Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office

You should keep in mind how significant the 780 days in orbit are, as the Boeing X-37B was originally designed for only 270 day-orbits.

The X-37B OTV is placed inside a pod for launching, 31AUG2017. Photo via Boeing.

X-37B Mission-5 launched on 07SEP2017 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, on-board a Space X Falcon 9 booster (Air Force Awards Launch Services Contracts to SpaceX). Mission-6 will launch sometime in 2020.
