"Seek and Destroy" Makes an Appearance --- #OperationEpicFury --- B-1B "EVOKE87" 86-0138 #AE6C09 "Seek and Destroy" flew a solo training mission from RAF Fairford (EGVA) yesterday afternoon, arriving back late in the evening. This morning she's briefly appeared on ADSB, although it goes without saying she's not actually sat in a random farmer's field south of the airbase! @MATA_osint

Stunning first-sat views from @Starlink launch G10-38 on May 1, deployed from @SpaceX's Falcon rocket. Watch as the Starlink sats cruise over an entire orbit, through sunrise and sunset, and slowly separate from each as they complete their post-launch deployment sequence before beginning orbit raise.  The satellites are stacked like a deck of cards in the rocket, which slowly spins when dispensing to impart a small velocity difference, ensuring deconfliction.   May the @Starlink be with you.

U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter aircraft are among more than 100 land and sea-based aircraft supporting Project Freedom. During the defensive operation, these advanced warfighting platforms are helping to protect U.S. forces and defend commercial shipping.
