Re: US pausing Military aid to Ukraine

My view is that NATO and other countries that came to the aid of the US after 9/11 should now bill the Trump administration for the billions it cost including loss of life that was sacrificed Do you mean like Blair putting UK forces in harms way by joining the US in an illegal invasion of Iraq? Thi...

Re: RIAT 2022 Participants

The M-346 is definitely MM55219 61-20 or is it a T-346A?

The TBM 700 code XG is 94, and I believe the C37 departed to Gatwick

Re: The History of 68-10329

Thank you for this article Chris, a very interesting read. I couldn’t help but notice though that it’s first flight was in August 1967, a year befor it’s FY of 68. I guess it was probably due to it being funded by the CIA.
Thanks again
Steve
