    Why does it upset you so that they are discussing the paint scheme for new planes they are ordering?

    I have always questioned why Poosy powder blue ?

    Before JFK, Air Force One just had the U.S. Air Force Military Air Transport Command paint scheme.

    The Presidential helicopters alway had the military paint scheme.
    Referred to "white tops" the Presidential helicopter has a white top where as VIP (Secretary of State, Defense, etc and flag officer have "red tops.")

    Which President refused to fly in "Marine One" ?

    President Eisenhower.

    Because of the Army vs. Marine Corps interservice rivalry that began in 1918 after the Battle of Belleau Wood where U.S. Marines engaged the Germans and were killing hundreds of German soldiers from 900 yards away with their 03-Springfield rifles, Eisenhower still held a grudge against the Marine Corps.

    Eisenhower used "Army One."

    Area 51 Secrets: The US Military Used Fake Cardboard Cutouts of Planes to Fool the Russians

    [​IMG]

    A lot of Cold War-era Area 51 documents have been declassified and National Geographic has discovered a rather low-tech method the US Military used to fool the Russians. It involved cardboard, the occasional heater and infrared satellites.


    Many of us know that Area 51 was the center of the OXCART project, a stealth spy plane. So did the Russians. They were flying over the base with spy satellites to see what the US was up to. Luckily, the US military was privy to when Russians satellites were flying over the base, which allowed them to time the tests perfectly. If a Russian satellite was about to fly over, military personel would move the plane into an overhead shed.


    More interestingly, however, was when the Russians obtained a drawing of the OXCART project via infrared satellites. Because when a plane was parked in the hot desert, its shadow would create a cooler silhouette, which would be visible in infrared even if the plane was moved to a shed. So the US Military got creative:

    To thwart the infrared satellites, Area 51 crews began constructing fanciful fake planes out of cardboard and other mundane materials, to cast misleading shadows for the Soviets to ponder. (Not intended to be seen, the decoys themselves were scooted out of sight before satellite flyovers.) Sometimes staff even fired up heaters near imaginary engine locations to make it look as if planes had just landed.

    I love the cat and mouse game between the US and the Russians during the Cold War. Though, I guess, it probably wasn't as lovable back then.

    Wow!

    Apropos of nothing!

    The Brits used fake army installations in WWII and it has NOTHING to do with the Moron in chief believing that the F-35 is “literally invisible”.

    First he's got to pour a 40 for his homies.

    Lots of pandering, because he's not getting the support.

    Pathetic attempt to pretend Buttigieg isn’t a real threat to the fool in the Whitehouse. Your time is almost up and you know it.

    A LOT of these memes can be traced to the Russians and a group calling itself the “Interenet Research Agency”. They were the one manipulating the American public in 2016 by flooding social media with memes about Obama and Clinton

    They are set to do the same this election

    Different name of course but all under the direction of the KGB

    Yawn. He isn't a real threat.

    He isn't going to survive the primaries and as I understand it he's polling very poorly with blacks.

    So he decided to go sip some brews with his homies.

    Cause thats how it works in the democrat party.

    To improve international politics

    And that means America having a leader who can find his own arse at least 3 times out of 10 and I have no evidence Trump can manage even that
