U.S. Air Force marks 100 years of air refueling with national overflight

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 06/27/23 - 11:00am Military

In honor of a century of excellence in air refueling, the United States Air Force (USAF) is expected to fly over all 50 states on June 27.

The Army Air Service - a predecessor of the Air Force - developed a way in the 1920s to extend flight missions, allowing aircraft, which were strictly propeller-powered, to remain in the air without landing to refuel.

On June 27, 1923, U.S. Army Air Service aviators performed the first air refueling, by passing gasoline through a gravity hose between two DH-4B aircraft. During this historic event, 1º Lieutenant of the Air Service Virgil Hine and 1º Lt. Frank Seifert pumped fuel from one plane, by means of a hose, to the other below, carrying Captain Lowell Smith and 1º Lt. John Richter. A few weeks later, Smith and Richter set a new resistance record of more than 37 hours, which involved more than a dozen refueling contacts, according to the USAF Museum.

Two Army Air Service pilots pump fuel through a hose from one plane to another in the San Diego sky on June 27, 1923.

Today, more than 150 tanker planes from 26 Total Force facilities are expected to participate with KC-135 Stratotankers, KC-10 Extenders and KC-46 Pegasus aircraft during overflights, celebrating a revolutionary capacity delivered 100 years ago. An Iowa National Air Guard Stratotanker KC-135, for example, will perform F-16 overflights in the Missouri River Valley region — and the 168ª Alaska Wing will fly over many locations with KC-135, including Fort Yukon in the east. central part of the state, Deadhorse in the far north and Kenai at the far south.

"Air refueling embodies our determination to defend freedom and project power, leaving an indelible mark on the history of aviation," said General Mike Minihan, commander of the Air Force Air Mobility Command. "It connects our strategic vision with operational reality, ensuring that we can reach any corner of the globe with unwavering speed."

"It connects our strategic vision with operational reality, ensuring that we can reach any corner of the globe with unwavering speed and accuracy. Air refueling embodies our determination to defend freedom and project power, leaving an indelible mark on the history of aviation," he added.

The announcement earlier this year about the acquisition of the KC-46A and the accelerated search for the state-of-the-art air refueling system (NGAS) is driving the advancement of capacity that was developed and entrusted to aviators a century ago, the USAF declared.

i have some suggestions if you don't mind!

for the lgbtqia+ list: they/them by john logan, evil dead rise by lee cronin, nope by jordan peele, butcher baker nightmare maker by william asher, suspiria (the 2018 version) by luca guadagnino, good manners by juliana rojas, sleepaway camp by robert hiltzik, velvet buzzsaw by dan gilroy, and what keeps you alive by colin minihan!

i also thought of crimes of the future by david cronenberg for the experimental horror maybe!

I’m eh about adding Sleepaway camp to the list & they/them, but the others I can add

#answered #the movies both make we really uncomfortable with their portrayals of it so personally I didn’t put them on the list when I first made the #list

General Warns of War with China

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Jan. 31, 2022.--Top Air Force Commander Gen. Michael A. Minihan warned today that the Chinese military was gearing up for a war in Taiwan.  Minihan cited Chnese President Xi Jinping’s recent inauguration for his third six-year-term as Chinese President or strong man.   Unlike, what President John F. Kennedy like to call the “soft societies of the West,” the Chinese Communists mean business when it comes to subjugating its population, brainwashing, mass incarcerations and liquidation for disobedience..  Kennedy knew well about the Maoist Revolution that massacred some 100 million Chinese before setting up their totalitarian state to run the world’s more populous country.  In a dire warning to 80-year-old President Joe Biden, Minihan said prospects for a war with China over Taiwan has never been greater, with Biden making unprecedented threats against Beijing.

When 82-year-old former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Tawain with a House delegation Aug. 4, 2022, it sent Beijing into a frenzy.  For weeks before Pelosi’s visit, Xi sent Chinese warships and fighter jets into the Taiwan Strait, sending a warning to Washington that its was crossing a red line.  Pelosi ignored all warnings, letting the Republic of China know that the U.S. had its back.  Biden confirmed  Pelosi’s message Sept. 23, 2022 saying he would defend Taiwan with U.S. troops in the event of an attempted Chinese Communist invasion of Taiwan.  Biden violated 44-years of the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act where former President Jimmy Carter capitulated to Beijing’s demands to stop diplomatic relations with Taipei.  Carter’s Taiwan Relations Act ended the 1954 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.  

In 1954, only five short years since the Maoist Revolution, Eisenhower knew the risks to Taiwan from Chinese Communists, giving Taipei an ironclad guarantee of U.S. military defense.  Biden’s Sept. 23, 2022 statement that he’d defend Taiwan with U.S. troops infuriated Xi, leading to the deteriorated relations between Washington and Beijing.  Minihan gave his gut feeling about the prospects for war with China over the next two years.  Minihan  has witnessed under Biden’s leadership a renewal of hostile relations between Washington and Beijing.  When 60-year-old Secretary of State Anton Blinken and 45-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan March 18, 2021, they accused Beijing of genocide against Muslim Uyghurs in Western China.  Xi didn’t appreciate the accusations, leaving U.S.-Chinese relations at post Maoist Revolution low-point, increasing chances of conflict.

U.S. elected officials provoke Beijing by accusing Communist Chian of human rights abuses.  Those same elected officials back the U.S. proxy against the Russian Federation in Ukraine.  Biden’s anti-Communist combativeness has led to the sour relations that Minihan fears could lead to an invasion of Taiwan.  Xi wants Biden to retract his Sept. 23, 2022 statement about defending Taiwan with U.S. troops because it violates the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act.  Whatever the reasons for Biden antagonism, it needs to stop before it’s too late.  With Taiwan Semiconductor controlling the world’s biggest chip market, the U.S. would not allow a Chinese Communist talepver.  If Chinese Communists controlled chip production it could shutdown the U.S. auto, airline and defesne industries.  Tawian Semiconductior CEO C.C. Wei met with Pelosi on her Aug. 4, 2022 official visit to the democratic Island nation.

Beijing authorities accused Pelosi of provoking war with Communist China visiting Taipei. Xi would like peaceful reunification with Taiwan but knows the fierce independence of Taipei, knowing the history of Gen. Chaing Kai Shek leading Chinese nationalists to the Island of Formosa after Mao’s Communist Revolution.  Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen told Pelosi that that Taiwan would never surrender to Beijing, regardless of all of Xi’s threats to takeover the island. Xi said he wants peaceful reunification with Taiwan, something Ing-wen rejects with conviciton.  Xi continues to provoke Taiwan sending warships and fighter jets into Taiwan’s Defense Identification Zone.  China continues to increase it defense budget from $114 billion in 2022 to $230 billion in 2023.  China’s Peoples Liberation ]PLA] Army shows Taiwan that its ready to takeover the island at any time.

Minihan’s concern about a potential Chinese Communist invasion says more about how the Biden administration handles diplomatic relations with Beijing.  Instead of provoking Beijing on alleged human rights abuses, Minihan thinks the U.S. should engage China in as many cooperative ventures as possible.  Al long as the White House insults the Chinese Communist accusations of human rights abuses, Beijing will push back threatening to take over Taiwan. “From Beijing’s perspective, military deterrence is the only reliable way to prevent Taiwan [from] moving toward independence,” said Zhu Fang, executive dean  of the Institute of International Studies at Nanjing University.  Zhu would like to see the Biden administration stop provoking Beijing and work on a host of cooperative ventures.  “They need to stop overplaying the Taiwan issue,” Zhu said, agreeing with Minihan about the prospect of war.

1/60 Watching Every Non-US Shudder Original Film (Not Sponsored)

Film: Spiral (2019)

Country Of Origin: Canada

Language: English

Runtime: 90 minutes

Shudder Synopsis: Aaron and Malik move to a small town so they can enjoy a better quality of life, and raise their 16 year-old daughter with the best social values. But nothing is as it seems in their picturesque neighbourhood.

Director: Kurtis David Harder

Writers: Colin Minihan, John Poliquin

Cast: Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman, Ari Cohen, Lochlyn Munro, Chandra West, Ty Wood, June Laporte

Pre-Thots: I had no expectations, or any knowledge of the plot, setting, characters, or even sub-genre. All I knew was it got confused as Spiral: From The Book Of Saw, by someone in the Saw fandom, so I wanted to know more. That, and it has Jeffery, who I've enjoyed in other media.

Post-Thots: Ok, so knowing nothing going in was a big plus (and a preference for me)! It was also maybe a must? Other reviews on the Shudder website seemed disappointed that this was a psychological thriller and not a fast-paced, gore-filled, horror (maybe they also mistook it for the Saw franchise film, whoopsie!).

Posi-Thots: I really enjoyed it! It was refreshing to see queer characters front and centre, and I always love some occult themes. Plus, there was a period setting of 1995, which I didn't expect. I was also here for the universal themes of otherness, and there always being an "other", as much progress as we may make, (the film implying a necessary solidarity of the marginalised, in order to be stronger together). The mystery and suspense elements kept me guessing and watching, and as the credits rolled, I had goosebumps.

Techni-Thots: I also really enjoyed the camera work and cinematic choices. There was a number of shots/sequences that I immediately rewound to watch a second time, because they were more visually interesting (and unsettling) than jumpscares, for me. And I LOVE camera work that feels like a smart choice rather than a flashy or trendy one. I'm keen to see more of this director's work. Editing (by Kurtis David Harder and Colin Minihan) felt tight, and pacey, despite it being suspense and perhaps "slow-burn", it didn't seem to drag The music (by Avery Kentis) was also a wonderful element. Suspenseful, deep and bass-heavy, almost guttural at times. Not many existing songs/ needle drops, something I find refreshing, especially in horror.

Harsh-Thots: Perhaps the Canadians have rubbed off on me, because I can’t think of something I didn't like. I'm open to all horror, if I get a spook, I'm happy, and I did get spook.

Personal Sub-Genre: Psychological Thriller, Drama

Rating: 5/5

Who Might Enjoy It: This is more for fans of slow-burns, thrillers, and generally those who prefer suspense over gore. Maybe even one to watch with non-horror fans. Also, for queer folks, POC, and queer POC (that's me!)

Who Might Not Like It: Anyone looking for a slasher, a fast-paced horror, or high-action. Anyone who doesn't like horror-as-allegory. Anyone who finds psychological horror hard to watch (themes of losing time, paranoia, being dismissed)
