Donald Trump is running against Michael Moore. It is always about him. Campaigning is simply the vehicle he is using to run against Fahrenheit 11/9.
James Wolfe, Senate intelligence security chief, just turned state’s evidence.
SEVENTEEN F-22 Raptors were mangled by Hurricane Michael. It is estimated each of those jets cost the American people $339 million PER aircraft by the time the program with Lockheed-Martin finished! The hangers are destroyed. The majority of personnel and all the families living on the base were successfully evacuated. There were 93 fearless Air Force personnel that remained behind. They are all safe and accounted for.
A QF-16 target drone (modified F-16) has been damaged. It is stated the damaged jets were there for maintenance and could not be flown off the base. It was hoped the hangers would provide some cover for some of the jets, but, that turned out to be an empty hope.
Not all the F-22s are fighter aircraft. Only 123 of 186 still have the honor of defending the United States of America. I suppose the Air Force and Joint Chiefs will have to decide whether Lockheed - Martin should be tapped to refit the F-22 not combat ready. It might be worth the effort. I am grateful to know the US Air Force can take care of itself and the country at the same time. Seeing those jets compromised was not a good feeling. I will sleep better tonight. Thank you.
