Good that we have such dedicated men and women.

Someone needs to proofread these videos before they go live. You guys have it wrong at 2:08, that's a F-18, NOT F-15

[@AuntRosieandEllie]

I noticed it too!

14:55 What the hell is a B-53?

That's what I want to know.

Still waiting for Hollywood to make _Day of the Cheetah_ into a movie. One of my favorite tech/spy books. Love Dale Brown, his books can be loosely described as, "if Jack Ryan was a USAF pilot, instead of a CIA Analyst". _Flight of the Old Dog_ is a great read too. And 2:00 , thats an F-18, not F-15.

Very cool, Very cool video....

Should use metric rather than a local measuring system.

WP on the F16 stands for Wolf Pack. The United States Air Force 8th Fighter Wing is the host unit at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea and is assigned to Seventh Air Force. Seventh Air Force falls under Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). The Wing's 8th Operations Group is the successor of the 8th Pursuit Group. one of the 15 original combat air groups formed by the Army before World War II

[@paulwhite5840]

Did she say B-53 at the beginning of the depot segment?

[@JD-mm4ub]

Yep, I heard that to.

[@djp1234]

Just curious. Do they use metric or SAE tools to work on these engines?

[@jeremyrobbins1571]

Interesting question! I'd like to know myself!

[@mikehawk1673]

I’m not fighters but we use sae, I’m sure fighters are probably the same

[@wally7856]

No such thing as a metric ratchet, they are all 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" lol. So even the metric guys use sae.

[@djp1234]

@@wally7856 NASA uses metric. I thought all high precision technology uses metric.

[@wally7856]

@@djp1234 The drive ratchets are all SAE no matter what sockets they use :)

[@danielhowell1640]

Billions of dollars worth of cutting edge fighter technology and they use a bottle jack to install the engines.

AS a former USAF C-130 ElectroEnvironmental technician in the 90's, you are correct. I joined the USAF and they sent me to golf courses all over the world. We laughed at you rubes baking in tents, or locked up in the submarines...... And a bad day, was when the hotels did not have cable.

God created POG's to repair jet aircraft flown by Gods in the Sky. God created Grunts to clean up all the crap POG's dropped on the floor. God created Gunny's to rule the Earth and keep POG's and Grunts from 'F - ing' so much. Now drop and give me 50... Oorah.

So "insane" means you couldn't think of a word that actually describes the situation. It looks very organized, rational and well thought out, and that's insane? That's literally the definition of sane. Insane Biology, Insane Engineering (that's an oxymoron) and now Insane $B Processes? This word is soooo tired, it would sleep for a year if you let it.

It is good, hopefully everything Brandon left in Afghanistan becomes useless due to maintenance issues before they can use it to hurt anyone, or sell or trade it to OTHER enemies that shouldn’t have an ounce of American technology.
