Bush’s rise to the presidency involved holding incredibly influential positions like the director of the CIA, but long before Bush […]
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, or “Warthog” as it’s commonly known, was the first aircraft the U.S. Air Force ever purpose built specifically for close air support operations. In the years since its introduction in 1976, it has become a trademark of American combat operations, providing quick-action support for U.S. and allied ground troops […]
Navy fighter pilots found themselves in a life threatening situation over America’s Pacific Northwest this past February, when the cabin pressure and air temperature systems failed in their EA-18G Growler. The two-man crew from Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Nine were cruising at approximately 25,000 feet some 60 miles south of Seattle Washington at the […]
Mankind has always harbored a macabre fascination with the end of the world. Doomsday predictions litter humanity’s history, and for each new prophet promising the end of days you could find a disappointed congregation, maligning the world’s existential persistence when his promises of fire and brimstone have failed to manifest. For a long time, doomsday […]
The head of Russia’s Roscosmos told the media last weekend that his agency has a mission on the books that aims to find out once and for all if the United States really did put men on the moon in the 1960s and 70s — though it seems likely that the former deputy prime minister […]
Back in 2012, police arrived at a Kentucky homeless shelter to arrest a relatively unassuming-looking middle-aged man. Samuel Little was no stranger to run-ins with the law — having been previously arrested for crimes ranging from shoplifting to fraud — so he offered no resistance as local police turned him over to California law enforcement, […]
NASA’s high success rates when it comes to Martian exploration missions might misconstrue just how hard it is to land on the Red Planet. In fact, of the 56 or so total missions mankind has launched toward Mars, thirty of them have been characterized as “partial failures” or worse. Between the United States, Russia, and […]
Last Friday, footage of Russian troops riding on an unusual piece of equipment over Moscow began pouring onto social media platforms. The footage appears to show a small group of armed Russian soldiers standing on a disk that’s being carried beneath an Mi-8 helicopter, in a tactical extraction system that bears a slight resemblance to […]
Exercise Point Blank kicked off this week at RAF Lakenheath, UK — offering the world it’s first glimpse of America’s fastest fighter, the UK’s most advanced fighter, and France’s workhorse platform all flying side by side in joint operations. These drills are aimed specifically at preparing for a near-peer or peer level conflict with the […]
Col. Thomas Jackman, former head of the Vermont Air National Guard’s 158th Fighter Wing, left his post after just one year in command back in 2015. Now, a new report alleges that his rapid dismissal came as a result of the combat veteran’s abuse of his rank and privileges. Namely, Jackman is accused of taking […]
According to reports, Lt. Col. Paul Goossen has been relieved from duty as the commander of the 69th Bomb Squadron at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota. Goosen was removed from his post on November 27th following an investigation into “phallic drawings” he reportedly made on mapping software inside the cockpit of his bomber during […]
Today, with companies like SpaceX, Blue Horizon, and Boeing working tirelessly to find ways to reach the stars for less money, it’s become a commonly accepted truth that the space shuttle, while ambitious and an incredible feat of engineering, was never the economic answer to maintaining an orbital presence. The shuttle program was an immense […]
