Flip him off and follow him until he parks his plane and then key it. That’s what my Dad used to do.

“Come on Air Force, get some backbone.”

And what do you want the USAF to do? Shoot down a Chinese aircraft over international waters?

I flew on the RC-135 (Middle East and Mediterranean). This is not a big deal. Our allies in Europe used to do the same thing.

China and Russia and Iran see obummer putting gays and transgender in the military and almost certainly watering down requirements for some groups.

They see American towns allowing boys to use girls’ bathrooms because they identify as female.

They see the White House lit up in rainbow colors.

If there’s a time to confront us, it’s before he leaves office. i hope they dont

The Ministry of Peace reports that an Eastasian plane made a doubleplus unsafe show of microaggression.

The Inner Party plans to use the event to raise awareness of thoughtcrimes against undocumented persons of Asian origin.

Recall the "Hainan Island Incident" back in 2001 when a chicom jet clipped a P-3 Orion. The P-3 landed on Hainan, but the crew failed to destroy all the classified gear onboard and it was a bonanza for the chicoms.

President Xi Jinping is visiting Boeing today up in Everett (I think he just left) - makers of the rc-135.

He is on his way to Microsoft - probably one of the most pirated software in China.

Goofy.

Here's the PLAAF Wendeng Air Base of the Jinan Military Region located on Shandong Peninsula.

Looks like at least 29 J-7G fighter jets are captured in this google satellite view. Probably of the PLAAF 36th Air Regiment/12th Fighter Division.

RC-135 is no longer made and the upgrades/mods are done at a different location.
