"How'd I get here? Ah, it's a long story. I graduated from UMSOT (Undergrad MS Operator training) and test pilot school in '77, back when it was on side 6. Oh, yeah, back then it was something different, we didn't have mobile suits back then, it was MWOTC... Anyways, when the war started, I was a ball pilot for a few weeks, flew three sorties and scored a lucky kill on a Zaku I, and 'cause I was the only one with a kill under my belt, I got chosen to fly with some secret squirrel things on the White Base (back then they just called it the Pegasus). Turns out in order to work on that top secret, feddie zaku ripoff, we couldn't be active EFSF personnel. We got discharged from the service so we could fly for some private shell company. Yeah, we lost MIL benefits, but the pay was so good we figured we'd go for it. We had three weeks to study the manuals and get trained on the simulators while we flew out to our assignment. They put me on the RX-78(a3/4) , but when we were en route to rendezvous to Side 7, the EFSF gave me my walking papers. Turns out, get...get THIS shit: They didn't "need my services any more." Can you believe that? One of the only guys trained on their new, crazy invincible MS, and they fired me.They tossed me, an ace, a qualified TEST PILOT out on my ASS. FOR A G/D FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. Yeah, you know who?! It was the doctor's kid, right? Remember that Tamm Ray guy from the training videos? Yeah, he got HIS kid to be the gundam pilot. Oh, no they tossed all of us. The entire team of mobile suit pilots, gone. Didn't even reassign us. So we're sittin' there, just lookin out the window, watching the stars go by, just angry as all hell, y'know? Fuming. I get an idea, right? So I says to the other guys, who cares? The zeeks need us more than the feddies do, so I went up front, showed the captain our discharge papers, and turned that sum'bitch around. Anyways, long story short, boy do those GM's explode easy! Oh man, jokes on them, the feddies drafted a LOT of stupid 14 year olds to drive those death traps.....so uh, what brings you to Axis?"

I checked my work inbox this morning and a literal client, who’s always been very above board and biz-oriented with me, sent me the video with zero commentary attached.

It’s working beautifully

No they just want to kickstart cultural figureheads on “our” side, guaranteed friendlies to rally behind and continue the very fruitful “conservative” engine. The guy is a household name, most every boomer at work has been listening to this and getting all pumped about how good it is to have “one of ours on the radio”

Just like daily wire trying to make its own movies to cater to their people, they have a captive audience that wants content, this plays into that

If you guys haven’t seen, this guy’s song indeed is super astroturfed. Here’s a good example of shillspeak on 4chan, so when you see it next time you can identify it out the gate.

(They will try that everywhere else, too. Just wait until they try it on poast. If it weren’t for our rapid N-antibody response they’d be doing it already)

Hey look at that, I’m vindicated in my anti-ejection position! I had assumed he was quick to eject because he was over sparsely populated grounds, but he instead prioritized his safety over that of everyone in the surrounding area!

Great one, boomer! Really making us look like assholes, once again!

Older guys have told me that when flying passenger service it’s a good idea to add that “apollo program drawl”. The classic pilots’ vocal fry supposedly inspires confidence in people.

Supposedly has its roots in early media portrayals of cool guys, or everyone imitating yeager. I think in reality you just hear your own voice coming through the PA and start talking lower pitched, and adding the fry in order to keep the line keyed while you gather your thoughts and brief

Still plenty of time, bucko. They’re buying “new” f-15s in 2023, why NOT a revamped F-16 later on? Everyone with a type certificate in the civilian world is already stuck rehashing old approved aircraft. Why not the military, too?

They’re trying to bring back the Catalina flying boat from WWII, the super thirsty beast governments sold off like, 70 years ago for being too expensive. And they want to make new ones.

Going back here are the first few entries I can see that return the keyword “song”.

I glanced at the catalog the other day and noticed this off the bat. Anyone of us would see it, anyways, but the fact I have work contacts sending me this video is truly amazing. Shows that despite the boomercon griftmill being outdated and largely ineffectual, they can still pull off a mild victory once in a while.

I follow this bot on telegram and it’s handy for seeing what threads fill up. Here’s the last few posts about it

Not nomore. You’ll never get the air force to do it. They absolutely hate the low and slow stuff, at least the boomers in charge do. They love to pretend they can’t find pilots for anything like it, but the small COIN stuff is as close to a WWII dogfighter today as anything else.

They just don’t want to spend a CENT on anything but top of the line fighters, tankers, and logistics. That’s it. You could explain the how and why, and they would just say “yeah but we could just get them to buy us an F-16 instead”

They’re like spoiled rich kids who need a truck, but can get whatever car they want, so all they choose is Subaru STI’s, GTR’s, Hellcats, and Corvettes. Even though what they really need is a truck to haul some stuff.

DAMMIT why didn’t I post about this earlier this week? This was exactly what I suspected it was!

SHIDDDDDD I left a whole bunch of cloucoins on the table on this one! Sorry boys, I really dropped the ball

I don’t like this song because it DOES seem very astroturfed. Whenever you look at every outlet and see those headlines like

“Everyone’s talking about this hot new single from……“

“What’s the Deal With Jason Aldorp’s new Song ‘Livin in the Virginias’“

and 10,000 4chan posts like

“Hey have you seen this song normies like it are we winning fellow chuds?”

then I know it’s probably being pushed by someone, somewhere. I haven’t really touched on it because I figured it was a benign op closer to our side than zog’s, so it’s better than nothing.

Not to mention all the little lessons lost when you demobalize the best and brightest. That’s why I’m laughing at their idea of total war.

I don’t even have faith they can keep shit from rusting through w/ the average draftees today. People don’t even know what rust is, but supposedly we could mass mobilize and train nigtards to keep up a ship under combat conditions

When you think about it life sucks dating a girl who’s on the cutting edge of memery. Imagine having a grumpy woman who’s asschapped because you didn’t jokingly do that Giuliani thing last week about “these are my tits…I’m claiming my tits“.

No thank you, gimme girls w/ cat videos and ‘FAIL COMPILATIONS’ instead

Just don’t know how they think the solution is MORE radio-dependent, laggy bullshit but whatever.

“honey look! It’s driving around vacuuming for me!!!”

One of the most acrimonious poast arguments I ever had was about how utterly retarded the US gov was to not procure lightweight coin fighters throughout the GWOT phase. The majority of their patrolling could have been performed by lighter, smaller, more efficient aircraft in order to keep us from burning through our expensive airframes to shoot at pashtun tribesmen once a week.

There were attempts, at least. The USAF wanted to get some tucanos, but the faggots at textron threw hissy fits and lawsuits about how they couldn’t pick an Embraer aircraft…that was already in use, production, etc. They wanted the gov to springboard their T-6 attack variant…which they didn’t design to begin with. It’s a licensed swiss pilatus, so not too “american” anyways.

Had we run a bunch of these, then we wouldn’t be fussing around with new production eagles and 20,000 airframes getting spinal surgery - they’d be barely hitting their original life limits today

Sillier still: The F-15EX isn’t really even ours. It’s just a renamed version of the Eagle they were selling to saudi arabia years back. The air force got to pretend “hey we’re saving a lot of money on development!” and boeing got to put some of that new production to use

Also very funny collapse thingy to note that they had an unveiling ceremony for the F-15EX EAGLE II

Imagine going back in time to when the guys were designing this thing, the whole “not a fuckin’ pound for air-to-ground“ clique. Those engineers had seen jets be developed, produced, fielded, and scrapped in less than a decade, like clockwork. They always thought they were adding another note in a fast moving symphony of american engineering….without realizing they were writing the coda.

Now their inheritors, squatting in the ruins of their laboratories, wielding their slide rules like ritual devices instead of precision tools, unveil their NEW and CUTTING EDGE fighter: a 50-year old design with a bunch of new electronics. A pastiche of every incremental upgrade over the years, jammed into a new airframe to the fanfare of an all-original machine.

no the A-10’s owned shares in famous fighting dogs, and get a portion of the winnings when those dogs win

(also just discovered they made an a10 toy when that movie released)
