F-35 Dogfight Accidentally Resulted in a Sky Penis, Officials Say
Military ^ | May 30, 2019

Posted on 05/30/2019 1:30:18 PM PDT by SMGFan

Six F-35 Joint Strike Fighters from the 56th Fighter Wing at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, simulating aggressor air training accidentally created contrails that resembled a penis, base officials told Military.com

"We've seen the photos that have been circulating online from Tuesday afternoon," said spokeswoman Maj. Rebecca Heyse in an email. "The 56th Fighter Wing senior leadership reviewed the training tapes from the flight and confirmed that F-35s conducting standard fighter training maneuvers Tuesday afternoon in the Gladden and Bagdad military operating airspace resulted in the creation of the contrails.

"There was no nefarious or inappropriate behavior during the training flight," she continued. "The flight audio was reviewed by senior leadership, and it confirmed the statements by the pilots explaining what happened."

Clearly, the Air Force must resign.

They should have added a message underneath, “Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, this is for YOU!”

Seriously, the fact that senior military officials even have to review this “incident” just shows how pathetically PC our military has become.

The Chinese and Russians must be laughing.

At the link, that photo is labelled as being from March of 2017.

Is there a photo that demonstrates the headline assertation?

If the pilot could intentionally make contrails look like a penis, he should get the Fighter Pilot of the Week Award.

Wild imaginations lead to sightings of non-existent things in the sky. Who are the dickheads who thought that pilots use their jets to paint pictures with exhaust?

Story says that the birds were T-34’s and the phalic phenomena was a radar track not a contrail.
