Westley is nominated for a VectorCSP spot award in recognition of his contribution to the 95th Fighter Squadron, Stan Eval Section. Capt. Wiliams, Chief of Stan Eval section reached out with a glowing review of how Wes has been instrumental to many of their recent accomplishments and, if they had the ability, they would submit him for a quarterly award. Here are the highlights of the submission: Westley has been crucial to the standup of Tyndall AFB as a whole. He was obviously hired at the squadron level for Stan Eval but has implemented processes for the entire 325th Fighter Wing. He is the literal example of “fire and forget” as we have given him numerous tasks and has since taken it upon himself to not only complete them but has created new and efficient processes for the future. Wes has single handedly implemented the newest Electronic Flight Bag program for the Wing and will be the benchmark for the two future squadrons at Tyndall AFB. He shows up to work every single day with a smile on his face and asks if there is anything that he can do to help on top of the tasks he already has. Wes helped stand up the 95 FS Stan Eval shop with a 1.1M budget and in doing so, we were awarded Superior Performers by ACC and the 325 FW as our shop becomes one of ACCs lead examples. For his critical role in supporting our customer’s achievement, Westley is worthy of recognition by VectorCSP for his dedication to providing superior support.

"Nellis 24-2 welcomed joint and coalition participants and provided aircrews the experience of multiple, intensive air combat sorties in the safety of a training environment. This year, the 56th FW was represented by F-35A Lightning II student and instructor pilots assigned to the 62nd Fighter Squadron and the 308th Fighter Squadron. Comprised of Allied partners from the Royal Netherlands Air Force and the Royal Danish Air Force, the 308th FS is a vital unit to the collaboration efforts of RF-N 24-2. “Everyone benefits from the training and knowledge we share during an exercise like Red Flag,” said Lt. Col. Nick Hansen, 308th FS Senior National Representative of Denmark. “It [Red Flag] is the ultimate test of everything from jets to personnel as we simulate how a live mission plays out.” Ranging from air-to-air engagements to ground attack missions, Red Flag is designed to push participants to their limits and foster innovation in tactics and procedures. “Operations with our fifth-generation platform, the F-35, are critical to us,” said Air Commodore Johan van Deventer, commander of the Royal Netherlands Air Force Air Combat Command. “It’s an information platform that uses forward sensors to exchange that information, and it can go to a high-threat area. This is the place where we can practice that together with our coalition partner, the U.S., and we need to do that in the high-end fight. That’s why we come to Nellis.” Throughout the exercise, around 15 units and approximately 1,500 joint and coalition participants engaged in a series of simulated combat scenarios while integrating fifth-generation assets." https://lnkd.in/eBmkV9sQ

USAF Aircraft Maintenance leading the way! To put this achievement in perspective, this particular aircraft has flown an equivalent of 1.6 hours every single weekday for the entirety of its 35 years in service! However, this impressive achievement stands in the shadow of evolving and increasing challenges like national budget constraints, manpower recruitment and retention, parts availability and supply chains to keep an aging fleet competitive while we balance National Defense with allied partner support.... While the future of this airframe is in question, LUCKY hitting 15,000 hours shows the continuous capabilities of our Force Generation Airmen to uphold the integrity and reach of the Strike Eagle.

I want to like this post as its professionally good to fly with the very best but when i see P.A.F flying with USAF , i can't forget the U.S is aiding and equipping India fully to target Pak as it waived CAATSA for India to buy Russian S-400 BMD & Russian crude but didn't like our PM's visit to Moscow perhaps fearing Pak would also try to get S-400 BMD However Pak 's need is in order to keep its nuclear deterrence in tact unlike India's viz to destroy Pak's nuclear deterrence So those who would be supporting Pak in getting Russian S-400 BMD would be believers in Peace and those who oppose it can't be Peace lovers or friends of Pak ...no more no less !! The U.S should end its discriminatory policy towards S.Asia and particularly a state to whom it owes so much apart from the $9 billion of CSF Funds wrt Pak's role in its WoT The U.S should lift CAATSA for Pak too to buy w/e it needs for its security needs includig S-400 BMD as well as to get cheap oil, electricity & gas for Pakistani ppl by completing the IranPak Gas Pipeline . Pakistanis will eat grass but we will not compromise on our security Godwilling #ispr

Given the proliferation of modern air combat capabilities among potential adversaries, NATO allies are experiencing an increasing demand for bespoke adversary air (#ADAIR) training for their 4th and 5th Generation fighter forces. It is obvious that in an insecure world the replication of near-peer adversaries has become even more essential for combat readiness. The successful involvement of advanced aggressor F-16s from our partner Top Aces during the latest RED FLAG exercise that has just been concluded bears witness to this. Under our teaming agreement, AEC Skyline and Top Aces aim to provide similar advanced contracted air services in Belgium, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries: https://lnkd.in/eSRZgQSc. #AECSkyline #TopAces #fastairsupport #defence #aviation #aerospace
Top Aces has successfully completed another FLAG Exercise at Nellis AFB! "All Top Aces aircraft exceeded replication expectations. Pilots and Baron controller were absolute professionals." - Aggressor Squadron Commander As the only commercial provider of F-16 Adversary Air (ADAIR) services, with the most advanced capabilities and the only contract ADAIR provider qualified for air-to-air refuelling, it's no surprise Top Aces was asked to provide contract Aggressor support for RED FLAG 24-02 – our third FLAG Exercise in two years! Flying alongside our Aggressor Squadron comrades, we provided the best possible training to our US and coalition warfighters. Mission complete! Thanks to Leading Edge Images/Glenn Bloore for capturing our jets on their way to support a RED FLAG mission.

Another great article from The War Zone on the great current and future capabilities of the #F15 EX and how they are being tested! I am super excited to be a part of this program! "Proving the F-15EX’s capabilities for future missions such as manned-unmanned teaming, as a C2 or air battle manager node, or as an easily adaptable shooter of new weapons might well earn the Eagle II critical additional roles in the future construct of the USAF."
F-15EX Testers Are Now Preparing The Eagle II For Rapidly Adapting To New Missions

On December 7, 1941, the United States was thrust into World War II when the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz was appointed Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet later that month. He oversaw the Allie's island-hopping campaign to systematically defeat the Japanese-held territories throughout the Pacific Ocean and led pivotal battles, including Midway. When the war ended, Admiral Nimitz became the Chief of Naval Operations. He made one of his more lasting legacies in this role: the Blue Angels. The Blue Angels are the Navy's flight exhibition team. Maybe you have seen them in action with their close-flying diamond formation (18" apart) and high-speed, low-ground maneuverers. Since its founding, a team of six Blue Angel fighter pilots tours the country, headlining airshows. Does the Navy need the Blue Angels? Of course not. The Blue Angel squadron does not make better fighter pilots. The Navy has other training for that. Why then form and keep the Blue Angels? Sometimes you need a little sizzle. Admiral Nimitz saw the general public lose interest and awareness in naval aviation as he led the Navy's post-war transition and demobilization. Pilots are essential to a Naval Fleet's attacking and defensive capabilities. Nimitz's vision was for the Blue Angels to demonstrate the professionalism and skill of naval aviators. Look, we know the memes about runners. We always wear GPS watches and talk about upcoming races and how long we ran this weekend. Does that sound like you? It does me. Remember, though, that you can overdo this, and we should realize (gasp!) that not everyone is as interested in running as we are. But don't lose the sizzle. It's good to remind those around you that you run. Maybe you will inspire them to start running when they see running's tremendous health and mental benefits on you. We're not Admiral Nimitz. However, there's no reason we can't have a similar lasting legacy. #running #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #marathon #marathontraining #supplements #research #runcommunity #runningcommunity #peregrune
