Operation CoViD-19: National Guard ramps up

Video

The ‘main stream’ U.S. news media is doing a piss-poor job of showing what the various state National Guard units are doing during this Corona-Virus Disease-2019 pandemic.  It’s as if they’re deliberately trying to make it look like there’s no government response.

The ‘main stream’ U.S. news media is doing a piss-poor job of showing what the U.S. Navy is doing during this Corona-Virus Disease 2019 pandemic.  It’s as if they’re deliberately trying to make it look like there’s no government response.

Somewhere at sea, a Hospital Corpsman with the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet tests for diseases using a BioFire Film Array.  The hi-tech machine can test for just short of 30 diseases at the same time. The pic was taken aboard the USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19), 14MAR2020.

Apparently they’re expecting to drink a lot of Red Bull?

The other hospital ship is the USNS Comfort (T-AH 20), which normally operates along the Atlantic coast, including providing taxpayer funded medical services to people in Central & South America, and the Caribbean.

How to paint your 1:1 scale B-17 Memphis Belle with ‘period correct’ paint

After 13 years of rebuilding, the B-17F Memphis Belle was ready for unveiling in 2018.  Part of the restoration included painting the World War Two Boeing Flying Fortress with period correct paint.

This B-17F ‘Memphis Belle’ is owned by the Liberty Foundation, the pic was taken in 2017.  It is not painted correctly, can you see the boo-boo?  Compare it to the pic at the top of the article.  (clue: Blue on the driver’s left, red on the driver’s right)

Photo dated 1943.

In 1978 Revell tried to compete with Monogram’s excellent 1:48 scale B-17G, by issuing a 1:48 B-17F.  Dimensionally it was about the same size as Monogram’s but lacked the awesome detailing. It’s still periodically re-issued.

In 1962, Revell issued a 1:72 scale B-17F Memphis Belle.  As a child in the early 1970s, Revell’s 1972 rebox was the first World War Two bomber kit I built.

Hasegawa issued a 1:72 Memphis Belle in 2009, however, it is not a new tooling.  It’s their old 1976 kit with new decals.

Academy’s 1:72 Memphis Belle is much nicer than the ancient Revell, and the old Hasegawa, kits.

Robot Wars: A-I strips an A-10 naked!

Video

Personnel seal panel lines, rivets and any other ‘openings’ to prevent the stripping material from entering the aircraft. U.S Air Force photo by Todd Cromar, 04DEC2019.

In December 2019, a robot paint stripper at Hill Air Force Base (AFB), Utah, was used to strip an A-10 Thunderbolt-2 for the first time.  Normally, it’s used on F-16s.

Corrosion control technicians seal up the seams and holes in the skin to prevent the blast media from entering the aircraft. USAF photo by Todd Cromar, 04DEC2019.

“There are going to be across-the-board improvements including a dramatic reduction in exposure to a Hexavalent Chromium dust environment. This is perhaps the greatest benefit to the robotic system. Savings will also be seen with reduced operating time and less power consumption, as well as reduced costs in material. We really haven’t found a downside to this system.”-Tim Randolph, 576th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron

USAF photo by Todd Cromar.

Two robots, with four hose attachments each, move independently along both sides of the aircraft. The time to strip an A-10 is decreased from three days to 9-12 hours!

Sorry, they didn’t release any pics of the naked A-10.

This Davis-Monthan ‘Paint Barn’ video, released in January 2020, shows you how many humans are needed in order to paint an A-10:

How to assemble your 1:1 scale MQ-1 Predator

Video

“We have just won a war with a lot of heroes flying around in planes. The next war may be fought by airplanes with no men in them at all… It will be different from anything the world has ever seen.”-General Henry H. ‘Hap’ Arnold, U.S. Army Air Force, 1945

The first Predator flew a recon mission over Albania in July 1995, then it was known as RQ-1.  Despite many official denials, back then, several RQ-1s were lost to ‘global warming climate change’ (bad weather) or shot down.

It was the Airmen who maintained the General Atomics RQ-1 who adapted helicopter weapon pylons to the giant remote control aircraft, as well as adding a turbocharger to the piston engine, finally proving its combat capability in October 2001.  In 2002, the RQ-1 became MQ-1 (M for multi-role).  In March 2018, the USAF officially retired the MQ-1.

On 03MAR2020, the Iowa Air National Guard got a massive model kit of the MQ-1 Predator.  It’s actually a retired MQ-1 that will end up on static display at the Air National Guard Bureau in Washington DC.  The Iowa Air Guard has the honor of assembling and painting it.

Who wouldn’t be happy about a kit this big?

You’ll need some jacks and jigs.

Robot Wars: A-I Painters to save the F-22 Raptor?

Video

The F-22 Raptor is a hi-tech aircraft that has not resulted in making things easier for the U.S. Air Force (USAF).  I’ve already written how the sensitive ‘skin’ of the aircraft is a nightmare for sheet metal shop personnel.   Now the USAF admits that painting the aircraft is a pain-in-the-butt as well.

As of February 2020, the USAF has a new hi-tech tool that will supposedly solve one of the hi-tech aircraft’s skin problems; a robot designed specifically to paint the inside of the air intakes.

The company, Aerobotix, that makes the robot painter claims it’ll save U.S. taxpayers $28-million in labor costs to paint the F-22, and apparently it can be used on other aircraft.
