Ai ma biet

That's a very good catch!! OPSEC seems to be so outdated these days, eh? After all, America's enemies know pretty much everything there is to know, thanks to the internet AND undisciplined use of cell phones. Well it's really nothing, I'm sure that he's just taking pictures of everyone so that his overseas buddies can update the profiles of everyone for the next time they visit their wonderful country and that they have a wonderful time there. I'm also very sure that his buddies will have the latest photos of the plans and manuals for everything, so that they can edit it and pass it back to him to show that they corrected and edited it for accuracy.

Nothing to indicate it was a cell phone.

Cell phone? If that was he personel cell phone he would be court martial. Someone had to review this video before it was released you know, and the military uses small portable devices

@@Austin-cx2xe Are you speaking from military experience on this type of flight line?

Actually the Boeing Model 717 was the C-135 airframe, most of this series (717+) were configured as the KC-135A inflight refueling tanker and were fitted with the Boeing Hi-Speed Boom. The Model 717 designation was reused after Boeing acquired McDonnell-Douglas with the 717 being reserved for the DC-9/MD-80 newbuilt airliners.

1980, I was aircraft maintenance. Spec. On the Hog. In being given this assignment I had revived a top secret clearance.

I believe the crash in Hawaii was USN P8, not a USAF A/C!

A U.S. Navy plane overshot a runway and went into a bay in Hawaii in November '23
