@ShaykhSulaiman I’m sure it’s about the Us Embassy hostages in the 80s.

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. – The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected and tracked two Russian TU-142 military aircraft operating in the Alaskan and Canadian Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ) on March 4, 2026.
NORAD launched two U.S. Air Force F-35 fighter aircraft, two F-22 fighter aircraft, four KC-135 tankers, one E-3 AWACS, two Canadian CF-18 fighter aircraft, and one CC-150 tanker to positively identify, monitor, and intercept the Russian aircraft in the American and Canadian Air Defense Identification Zones.

@CTS1630 @philthatremains My brother was normally at JBLM.
But he was crew chief or something on the chinooks. I don’t know his actual job. But it was so stressful when he would leave and you just have no idea what’s going on. 😭

I was an Army brat (and veteran) but graduated high school at Ft. Campbell long ago and many of my friends fathers were pilots with the 160th. We used to go off base and watch them do the Red River runs at low altitude at night and it was impressive. Doubt they do those any more since the Clarksville area has grown up so much.
My best friends dad was a CW4 who flew the 47.

@dmbkparker You probably know my brother then. 🩷 thank you for everything you have done.

There is no one on earth who wants the recognition less, and there is also no one on earth who deserves the recognition more.
I’ve flown alongside Eric for 18yrs. We grew up in Army Aviaton and in the 160th together. We’ve been brand new PIs, BMQs, FMQs, and FLDs together along the way.
He is the consummate quiet professional. By the grace of God and the skill of the greatest team on earth he’s still with us.
Eric I’m proud to have fought alongside you and even more proud to call you my friend.

@GFrattAZ @philthatremains Yeah I can’t believe they put him on TV. I think it’s dangerous and reckless.

@philthatremains Delta combat patch; I expected him to be a Nightstalker. I’m utter confounded, that actually found a CW5, showed him on National Television, and gave him the CMH. I mean what’s next Bigfoot and a Grey compete in the Olympics.

@CTS1630 @philthatremains And is probably not enjoying the attention because the less eyes on them the better they are able to perform.
My brother retired from the 160th. I’m thankful he came home every single time because so many have not.

It's a USASOC patch. Special Operations Command. He is not "Delta" but he has likely flown them many times as part of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment based at Ft. Campbell, KY.
They are the helicopter aviation equivalent of Delta Force. The best of the best is no exaggeration and to be a CW5 is no small feat on its own. That guy could probably land a mosquito on the tip of a needle.

@vivstan211240 Eric picked it up this morning and was looking at it and didn’t realize you helped consult with Outlaw King, which is one of our faves. So I’m sure he’ll end up reading it too. :)
