@Brick_Suit How do you let the lead get out of sight when you are flying form?

Better angle of today's midair collision in Idaho. The trailing plane (on the right) appears to have descended onto the plane below it, perhaps after losing sight of it in a blind spot. Miraculous that all four ejected safely.

@QB1Tattoo I can see myself in the stands in that video.

Gotta be Steven Parker’s GAME WINNER PBU vs TCU in 2015 w/ Bake on the sideline with a concussion. #BOOMER

@historyinmemes My ex woulda killed in this competition. Especially if she coulda picked my neighbor as the call.

Germany’s 2026 Deer Calling World Championship brings hunters together to use specialized instruments that imitate red deer calls, honoring and preserving a hunting tradition that has endured for more than 800 years.

@stoolpresidente Crazy to think she could be the father

I can’t believe that I think there is a chance Russini fathered Vrabel’s child. That is how nuts this has gotten. You just can’t name your kid the same name as the guy you are having an affair with. We have entered bananland with this story and nothing is off the table.

$200mil in aircraft to rescue downed servicemen: 😡 $9bil in fraud to Somalis: 🥰 It ain't about the cost, they just hate you.

@RichOToole Tortellini soup

How was your easter? Drop me some food pics.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! This patriot worker drops truth on the left “To get my kid from pre-K to kindergarten, I need a vaccine slip, birth certificate, proof of residency so I can get 'em to school. But y'all are saying a f*cking ID is too much to vote. F*ck off!"

A hunter finds a deer trapped in a fence, struggling to breathe. What he does next is incredible!

@pinpulleddrmf Apache in Combat Operations (CO). Got it

One of my clips is circulating as the media is covering the CSAR efforts Guys, just because there is a Toyota in it doesn’t mean it’s the Middle East This was CO

@DanielLMcAdams Do you have someone with you to remind you to breathe? Because obviously your brain isn’t advanced enough to do it on its own.

Important! What are they not telling us about the pilots???

@braxton_mccoy SERE blows chunks. That is all

I know Fox News viewers like to hear what SERE tactics are so they can sound cool at the coffee shop. But stop posting this intel all over the place where anyone, including enemies we are currently battling, can view it.

@Oceanbreeze473 Lmao

I dont understand why pilots dont have a tracking device so we can locate quickly.

@CV__Politics @NewMexicoVoice You can have friends on both side of the aisle. There is too much division in this country.

this actually goes hard as fuck. we need more people removing politics from their lives and just being normal fucking humans.

@TonySeruga SERE school sucks. The skills learned are important though.

My Pentagon source has indicated that the second crew member was the Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) and had established initial radio or beacon contact with US forces earlier, which is helping guide the ongoing search. However, this has not yet translated into a successful recovery. Prayers are being requested as the situation is a race against Iranian forces and locals. US fighter pilots, including those flying the F-15E Strike Eagle, receive intensive SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training. This is specifically designed to prepare them for exactly the scenario unfolding with the missing second crew member in southwestern/central-southern Iran (Khuzestan and Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces). What SERE training covers All US military aviators (and many high-risk personnel like special operators) go through SERE as part of their preparation. Key phases include: Survival: Immediate actions after ejection — treating injuries, finding water/food, building shelter, signaling for rescue while in harsh terrain (mountains, desert valleys in this case). Evasion: The core skill you're referencing — avoiding detection and capture. Pilots learn camouflage, movement discipline (travel at night, stay off roads/trails), terrain masking, and the use of natural cover. The goal is to buy time until friendly forces (like the low-flying Black Hawks and HC-130Js we've seen) can extract them. They prioritize concealment over aggressive fighting, as "you're not going to gun your way out" in most cases. Resistance & Escape: If captured, techniques to resist interrogation, avoid giving propaganda value, and look for escape opportunities. This draws from the military Code of Conduct. SERE includes realistic field exercises: live evasion against simulated enemies, navigation challenges, and mock captivity with stress inoculation. It's demanding and tailored — Air Force SERE has its own schools, while Navy/Marine programs (sometimes involving SEAL instructors) can overlap for certain personnel. Special operations forces (including SEALs) undergo advanced SERE variants, often integrated with or building on BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training) skills like small-unit tactics, hand-to-hand, and endurance under duress. Fighter pilots get a focused version emphasizing aircrew-specific needs (e.g., using survival vests, radios, beacons from the ejection seat kit). In real-world terms, this training "kicks in" almost immediately after ejection — even while descending under parachute, decisions about landing zones and initial hiding spots are made. Ex-pilots and instructors note that muscle memory from SERE often helps downed aircrew stay calm and methodical in the critical first hours. The missing crew member (the Weapons Systems Officer) is presumed to be applying these exact skills right now: Hiding in the mountainous or riverine terrain to avoid Iranian forces and locals mobilized by state media bounties. Using encrypted survival radios or beacons for intermittent contact with US rescue forces. Moving cautiously toward a recoverable location while US CSAR assets provide top cover. 🙏

@SGTWipper1Each Try to make it without the DI knowing your name.

What's the best advice you could give to someone about to go to Boot Camp/Basic Training?

I flew helicopters for 10 years The reason they are flying so low comes down to a very important tactic: ALC Always Look Cool

@SGTWipper1Each I know battle of New Orleans for sure

How far back does Military Service go in your family?

@Johnny_Joey I speak fluent sarcasm also.

Oh shit Todd… without that no one would’ve been able to understand anything I said!!!

@pinpulleddrmf They live for this moment.

You know the energy in those cockpits is 🥵
