Is Winter coming early in the Northern Hemisphere? In September 2022, Talons from Atlantic Southeast Florida decided to migrate to Pacific Northwest Idaho.

The U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) 2d Fighter Training Squadron is based on Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB), in Florida. From the 12th through to the 23rd, of September, the 3rd Generation T-38 Talons flew around Idaho, helping the USAF teach its youngest bird, the 5th Generation F-35A Lightning-2 (which had also flown north from Luke AFB, Arizona), how to fly.

According to Captain Ryan ‘Joker’ McCooey, of the 61st Fighter Squadron’s B-Flight, the training over Mountain Home AFB is the final schooling of a long F-35 program taught mainly on Luke AFB: “At the end of their six-to-eight month basic course, students put together all the building blocks we have taught them throughout the course into these Capstone rides where they do both air-to-air and air-to-ground [tactics] during the same sortie. They get to practice all the things we taught them in a large force exercise, integrating with different assets that we don’t always have the ability to do at Luke.”

Final F-35 training is usually done over Mountain Home AFB, against the F-15E Strike Eagle, but I believe this is the first time the T-38 Talon was involved.

While over Idaho, the Florida Talons play the ‘bad guy’ (Red Air) against the Arizona Lightning-2s. Playing the bad guy has been the forte of the T-38 trainer for decades, all the way back to the days of the non-declared, non-official, Cold War.

While launching from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, the T-38 Talons helped qualify six F-35A pilots, and help upgrade the qualifications of four other pilots to instructor status.

The concept of aircraft generations was started by U.S. air historian Richard P. Hallion, back in the 1990s, but it wasn’t until Russia adopted the concept that it became standard in the United States (apparently it was Russia who first referred to the USAF F-22 Raptor as a 5th Generation fighter).

From July 21st through August 29th, of 2022, Southwestern Idaho was invaded by AH-64D ‘Longbow’ Apaches from the state of Arizona and the tiny British empire member (Commonwealth of Nations) of Republic of Singapore.

The Republic of Singapore Air Force has a unit based in Arizona called Peace Vanguard. They are there to learn how to operate the Longbow from the Arizona Army National Guard. Part of that training brings them to Idaho’s Orchard Combat Training Center (OCTC) for gunnery.

Idaho is home of a new kind of gunnery range called DAGIR (Digital Air Ground Integrated Range), one of only three in the U.S., which was opened for testing in March 2021, and officially certified for use by AH-64s in March of 2022.

Idaho ends Vehicle emission testing, the Air is too clean, despite those dirty Domestic Migrants?

Image October 8, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Most regions of The Gem State have such clean air that there is no vehicle emission testing. An area known as The Treasure Valley (aka Greater Boise Metro Area), however, has vehicle emission testing (and it’s the main reason registration fees are noticeably higher), since 1984.

The Treasure Valley is in the region of Southwestern Idaho, it encompasses the counties of Ada, Boise, Canyon, Elmore, Gem, Kuna and Owyhee. The area is geographically a ‘bowl’, and experiences a lot of atmospheric inversions which hold down all kinds of air pollutants, not just those from ground vehicles.

The Treasure Valley is also home to the busiest airport in Idaho; Boise Airport, which is also used by the aircraft of the Idaho National Guard (known as Gowen Field) and by the U.S. Navy (known as Gowen Field Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center).

Boise Airport is also home base for the National Interagency Fire Center, which includes fire fighting water bomber aircraft.

This is important in regards to air pollution as many studies have shown that the true air polluters in metro areas are busy airports (according to one rabid environmentalist group, global aircraft operations put out enough emissions to be ranked in sixth place behind the top five polluting countries), yet you can’t install emission control devices on a jet turbine, so they continue to blame piston engined ground vehicles which produce only a fraction of the pollution that a turbine can generate upon take-off (this fact was known way back in the 1970s when the environmentalists succeeded in imposing expensive, yet ineffective, emission control devices on your car). Do some research, you might discover that most of the highly air polluted areas of the United States just happen to have a lot of busy airports/military bases.

On October 7th, 2022, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) announced they would no longer require emission testing in Kuna or Canyon counties. David Luft, a manager with DEQ admitted that “Motor vehicles are becoming cleaner and cleaner burning. They’re manufactured to be cleaner, so emissions testing program isn’t as effective as it used to be in the past.” Heck, even jet turbines have become more cleaner burning since their invention way back in the 1930s-40s. It is not just the motors becoming cleaner burning, the fuels themselves are being refined, within the U.S., to a standard that makes them burn cleaner than they did 50 years ago (and this is outside of California’s police-state environmental regulations).

But in the state capitol of Boise, in Ada County, emission testing will continue because it is a city law! Despite it being city law, state DEQ officials are pushing Boise officials to end that law, especially since the state legislature ended state level emission testing back in March!

So far the only people protesting such a move are the owner/operators of emission testing stations, many of those testing stations are actually mobile vans.

David Luft also admitted that air pollutants in Idaho have been on the decline for years and that it will continue to decline even without emission testing: “Even without that program, on-road-motor-vehicle emissions will continue to decline through 2040.”

However, in 2020 Idaho was ranked as having the highest percentage increase in carbon emissions, but that was blamed on all the new people moving to the Boise area, and it was pointed out that Idaho’s air is so clean to begin with that any increase looks bad: “Idaho is one of the fastest-growing states. And you’re going to see… some level of increased carbon emissions….. Since Idaho is already starting with low carbon emissions, a relatively small increase results in a higher percentage increase.”-Tiffany Floyd, DEQ

The 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team also deployed to Iraq in 2004 and 2010. This year, Idaho Army National Guard’s State Aviation Group C-12 Huron aircraft and crew deployed to Africa. The Idaho Air National Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing has deployed many times as well. In June of this year, the 124th Civil Engineer Squadron was deployed to Oklahoma, because of flooding.

Hunger Games: Why are taxpayer funded rations being sold to the highest bidder?

Image October 6, 2022 Hutchins AAron

06 October 2022 (09:58-UTC-07 Tango 06) 14 Mehr 1401/10 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1444/11 Geng-Xu 4720/06 октября 2022 года

I’ve noticed a trend this year, Humanitarian Daily Ration (HDR) clearly marked as “Food Gift From The People Of The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” are being sold in stores here in Eastern Idaho.

Such a statement indicates the item was already paid for by U.S. taxpayers. So how can this item be resold, to the very same taxpayers, in a retail setting?

One HDR is being sold in a local Southeast Idaho ‘reselling’ store for $5.99, a case of faux MREs is being sold for more than $50!

Apparently they are made by a company in South Carolina.

I discovered that some rations are being auctioned-off on the internet by an outfit called GovDeals. According to their website, they act as a clearing house for federal, state, and local government entities that apparently have surplus items they need to get rid of. This means that the government has too many food rations?!

On the GovDeals website somebody posted the question about shelf-life, because they noticed the rations were three years past the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) own use-by regulations (“The shelf life of the HDR is 36 months at 80 degrees Fahrenheit.”).

The DLA website explains that at some point in the past, they were ordered by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency-Humanitarian Assistance/Demining Activities to stock up on MRE style rations “In order to provide the widest possible acceptance from the variety of potential consumers with diverse religious and dietary restrictions from around the world…”.

I noticed that the stores selling these, apparently expired, HDRs are calling them MREs (Meal Ready to Eat). The DLA website clarifies that while these rations look like military style MREs, they are technically not because they are not produced to the same standard.

So yes, these have already been paid for by all you happy taxpayers, and yes, apparently they can be resold to happy taxpayers once they are past their ‘use-by’ date! It also is proof that there is no food shortage, because obviously the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency was able to overstock on HDRs! Or maybe that is why there has been food shortages at the grocery stores, it has all been going to the DLA?

F-15 50th Anniversary: Eagle gets cannibalized, leftovers sent to the Boneyard, no more Oregon Eagles?

“It died; I say died because that’s how it feels.”-Master Sergeant Charles Fleek, Oregon Air National Guard, talking about tail number 78-0511, one of the lucky F-15Cs that actually flew under its own power to The Boneyard, in April 2022

Just a few months before the 50th Anniversary of the first flight what is probably the best combat aircraft ever employed by the U.S. Air Force, the state of Oregon decided to cannibalize one of its F-15Cs.

It is no April Fool’s Joke, after stripping the F-15C of usable parts, on 01APR2022, personnel with Oregon Air National Guard’s 173rd Fighter Wing loaded the worn out Eagle onto a flatbed trailer, to be hauled-off to the ‘Boneyard’ of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, in Arizona.

On 13SEP2022, the Oregon Air National Guard revealed that, after 24 years of service, all its F-15C Eagles were on the chopping block! Not all of them; on 11SEP2022, eight Oregon Eagles were transferred to the Israeli air force, under the guise of Foreign Military Sales (which are usually taxpayer subsidized).

In July 2022, tail number 78-0515 was sent to work for NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration). It is hoped that most of the Eagles will end up with the National Museum of the United States Air Force, for public displays, however, the reality is most will end up in the Boneyard.

Oregon’s 173rd FW has operated the A, B, C and D version of the undefeated-in-combat Eagle. But wait, it’s not over for Oregon Eagles after all; the retiring F-15Cs are being replaced with the new build F-15EX.

WW3 Vehicle I-D: Su-75, The Checkmate, will they or won’t they?

Image September 27, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Full scale model of Su-75, at one of the many international air shows for manufacturers, in 2021.

Russia’s Sukhoi 75 ‘The Checkmate’ is a single engined ‘low cost’ 6th Gen fighter. It uses the AL-41F1 ‘project 117’ engine, a development of the engine used on the twin engined 5th Gen fighter Su-57, as well as the Su-35.

Full scale model, sometime in 2021.

First flight is expected sometime in 2023. After a few years of testing, Rostec (aka State Corporation for Assistance to Development, Production and Export of Advanced Technology) hopes that production can commence in 2026-27.

Rostec claims the 6th Gen fighter will cost about 30-million U.S. dollars. A two seat trainer is planned, as well as an pilotless robot version.

The Su-75 is intended to work in conjunction with the Su-57 Felon and the S-70 Hunter drone.

Russian news reports are confusing, some claim Russian officials are considering it for the Russian Aerospace Forces, while others say the Russian military has yet to express interest in the 6th Gen fighter.

Rostec representatives admit they are hoping that potential foreign buyers will result in at least 3-hundred foreign orders, which could spur interest by the Russian military.

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

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) first entered service in 1983. The Rome Air Development Center can trace its origins back to 1942, World War Two, when it was first used to test bomb sights for bombers.
