That marine owes the tanker crew a cold one.

The prospect of hoofing it through ISIS occupied real estate is not a pleasant one.

If we hadn't been able to assist, he would have certainly have had to make a less than ideal landing in Iraq.

Only an Aussie could say that with a straight face. :)

Thank God our pilot wasn’t in an F-35.. He might be in an ISIS video by now.

On Marine bases, the band plays “Waltzing Matilda” on its way to the flagpole for the morning flag raising ceremony. Since WWII there has been a close bond between Australians and US Marines.

Mechanical failure forced the US F/A-18 Hornet pilot to shut down one of its two engines.

If he had been upgraded to the F-35, he wouldn't have ever been put in a positions where he would have to shut down one of two engines.

Strange... 2 weeks ago I recall reading an account of a similar situation involving an F-4. I would never be able to refind that link... I will try though.

There is a crazy story a Phantom burning one engine like this and the tanker actually towing the thing.
