    Hurricane Cost May Skyrocket As Billions In Stealth Fighter Jets Unaccounted For

    Hurricane Cost May Skyrocket As Billions In Stealth Fighter Jets Unaccounted For; Tyndall AFB “Complete Loss” (VIDEO)

    https://truepundit.com/hurricane-cos...te-loss-video/

    WTF????

    According to the New York Times, Tyndall is home to 55 stealth fighters, “which cost a dizzying $339 million each.” Before Michael hit, the Air Force evacuated at least 33 of the planes to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, however they would not comment on the status of the remaining 22 fighters.

    Air Force officials have not disclosed the whereabouts of the remaining 22 planes, other than to say that a number of aircraft were left at the base because of maintenance or safety reasons.

    An Air Force spokeswoman, Maj. Malinda Singleton, would not confirm that any of the aircraft left behind were F-22s.

    But photos and video from the wreckage of the base showed the distinctive contours of the F-22’s squared tail fins and angled vertical stabilizers amid a jumble of rubble in the base’s largest building, Hangar 5. Another photo shows the distinctive jet in a smaller hangar that had its doors and a wall ripped off by wind

    Well I wonder who the dumbass was that thought it would be a good idea to park a 339 million dollar plane inside of metal building instead of hardened hangar, especially on the coast, and thank Obamie for cutting off Military funding for maintaining our equipment, 22 planes that were not airworthy at one base, makes you wonder what else is not battle ready at all our bases worldwide

    If we ever do, . . . it will be at least a decade undoing the 'bama damage done to our military.

    I know we were swapping parts on humvees and pulling from the scrap yard in the Army.

    They are always grounding whole fleets of aircraft for some suspected problem. Usually just long enough to inspect the suspect part, then they are deemed airworthy again.
    BAH FUCKING HUMBUG!

    Those stealth aircraft are scattered all over the world by now; and there is so much space to park a plane out west, that it can't be described properly.
    Places like Nellis AFB, are already home to stealth fighters anyway. All that needs to be done is to fly them out there, and park them. Edwards AFB, maybe?

    The upended aircraft that they showed on the news footage, was of some retired, gutted planes, whose only function is for show. Airports all over the place have those; there is a retired and gutted F-16 at Clearwater Intl.

    This is much ado about nothing.

    This aircraft appears to be a Russian Fulcrum, at least to me; those great big air intakes are a signature feature, in my eyes anyway.

    This is an active one, with missiles attached. IMHO, the press is a joke, and it reports things, according to their emotions. They got this wrong.
    Here is one going through its paces, it is a great aircraft, but it is Russian.

    That aircraft is a bad news machine, and the Russians make some killer planes; it is scattered all over the world, India has some.
