To the U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) the bubble-top North American P-51D was known as the Mustang, in the newly created U.S. Air Force (USAF) it was known as the F-51 Mustang. For British empire (Commonwealth of Nations) members still using the World War Two combat aircraft, it was known as the Mustang Mark-4.

Forever Wars: History being made, finally, one Nation has the ‘balls’ to stand up to Israel! (It’s not the U.S.)

Video January 11, 2024 Hutchins AAron

Israel occupied The Gaza Strip during the Cold War, in 1967 (what is known in the U.S. as the 1967 War). 1967 is also the year that the U.S. became imbedded into the Tar-Baby called Israel, with a visit, and promise of support, from a politician who would later become the President of the United States:

Today, history being made again. On 11JAN2024, South Africa presented its accusations of a “pattern of genocidal conduct” by Israel to the International Court of Justice, stating that “This killing is nothing short of destruction of Palestinian life. It is inflicted deliberately, no-one is spared, not even newborn babies.”

USAEC was ordered in September, by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), to design and build a temporary elementary school. The work is actually being done by contractor Pono Aina Management of Waianae, Hawaiʻi. The temporary school is using taxpayer-leased modular buildings, and could be in use for the next five years!

Debris removal includes trees that are considered to be a potential threat, possibly falling onto the public, so they are cut down and removed.

“All the recovered lithium batteries and power walls were handled by EPA utilizing an innovative process. The state, county, and other federal partners were not involved in the de-energizing and decommissioning of the batteries.”-Stacy Greendlinger, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, December 2023

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers explains the debris removal process, on Maui, Hawaii, 01DEC2023:

At the end of November, the USACE Wi-Fi system for the new temporary school had to be moved to a better location, to improve connectivity.

On 18 November, the first soil samples were collected by the USACE in Kula: “At each location, six inches of soil is scraped off of the top and then the contractor lays out decision units and collects the samples. The samples will be analyzed for elevated levels of metals such as arsenic, canec, lead, and cadmium. If they come back showing elevated levels of contaminates, the area will be scraped and sampled again.”-Jean Barnes, Environmental Protection Specialist

Both the A-10 Thunderbolt-2 and the F-16 Falcon were developed during the same decade; the 1970s.

In July of this year, the Idaho Air National Guard revealed that the U.S. Air Force is forcing them to replace their A-10Cs with F-16s, starting in 2027.

A-10C on Gowen Field, Boise Airport, Idaho, 20DEC2023. Idaho Air National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Becky Vanshur.

The A-10A (first flight May 1972) was the result of U.S. Air Force experience with ground attack missions over Viet Nam.

An F-16A belonging to Hill AFB, Utah, flies over Nellis AFB, Nevada, December 1979. USAF photo by Ken Hackman.

The F-16A (first flight in 1976) was developed as a replacement for the F-5E Tiger-2 (itself a replacement for the F-5A Freedom Fighter, designed to be a low cost aircraft for countries who did not have the money to buy the big combat planes, and was subsidized by U.S. taxpayers through the MAP [Military Assistance Program]).

The first USAF unit deployment of F-16s to Europe involved Falcons from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, in 1981. They were sent to Flesland Air Station, in NATO-Norway. U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sergeant Don Sutherland, 01MAR1981.

The division between those in the USAF who liked the A-10 and those who liked the F-16 began during the development of the prototypes, in the 1970s. My father worked at Edwards Air Force Base, California, during that time, and was one of the pro-F-16’ers. Edwards AFB is where both aircraft were originally developed. My father would come home from work stating that he hoped something bad happened to the A-10, so that the USAF would choose the F-16. What people (including my father) didn’t seem to understand is that both aircraft were the result of combat experiences over Viet Nam, and were intentionally designed for specific missions, which is why at that time the USAF wanted both aircraft.

A-10C on Gowen Field, Boise Airport, Idaho, 20DEC2023. Idaho Air National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Becky Vanshur.

Both aircraft have been upgraded over the decades, yet ever since the Obama regime was in power the U.S. Air Force has pushed to replace the decades old A-10 with the decades old F-16.
