Title: Hooorah!!!
Post by: Serenity on February 27, 2007, 12:05:53 AM

27th Fighter Squadron F-22 Raptor taking off from runway 8R, Honolulu International Airport, several saturdays ago. I was fortunate enough to be given a tour of one of these birds during their stay in Hawaii. This was the last batch to leave, with 4 F-22s, 3 KC-10As, and 2 KC-135s.

Part of the group of Raptors whose electronics were not able to handle crossing the International Date Line heading west?

That was a classic SNAFU.  Howled when I heard the report.  Did not envy the pilots though.  To have your electronics pack it in when in the middle of the Pacific; not a good day.

Loose lips, sink ships.

Don't report military movements to the world.

Lives depend on it.

Gotta be kidding right?  Been all over the news, and I suspect this week's "AvLeak" will have a story on it as well.  This military movement is past tense and history.

     Since Tyndall is the major interceptor training base of the USAF, that
really isn't a huge surprise :D
