This capability has been in development for some time but @MalloyAero T-600 heavy-lift UAS dropped a Sting Ray torpedo during trials at #REPMUS23 in ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡นPortugal. Not a subtitle for ASW helicopter but would give the RN another means of torpedo delivery at range given the absence

#OTD in 1996, the Japanese destroyer Yugiri accidentally shot down a U.S. Navy A-6E Intruder with a Phalanx CIWS during a training exercise. The Intruder crew from VA-115 ejected and were recovered. It was the first foreign plane shot down by Japanese forces since 1945.

As we edge into the New Year here in North America, allow me to simply say โ€œthank youโ€ to my friends here who have shown such incredible kindness and support over the past 13 months, which have been the darkest time in my life. Take a bow, and know you helped make a difference.

This P-51 was owned for a number of years after WW2 by Jimmy Stewart, who had others race it for him. He did fly it himself for at least 4 times, though. (Iโ€™d love to know what, as multi-engine guy, he thought about that) Itโ€™s been restored and flown now.

OK, shitโ€™s just got real: CENTCOM had cancelled the Marine Corps Birthday Ball due to "Unforeseen operational commitments.โ€ I think the words they are looking for are โ€œWarning Order.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜
