I think it’s a safe bet that the mission is surveillance.

No the mission launched under Bammy. The mission was to make Muslims feel better.

I bet that more than one formerly alive aircrew wished that the pilot had had a working artificial horizon thingy.

“Should one be used, however, you can be certain that the dust would not even have settled and there would be motions at the UN to ban such a device.”

They would vote to ban.

We will ignore the vote.

“Germ-proof suits as vehicle sits on open tarmac... must be a government operation...”

You wear suits like that when handling hypergolic fuels or liquid super-oxidizers.

Have you ever seen the Movie “Captain Newman MD”? If you did/do you saw or will see, a little bit of Libby Army Airfield in it. A good bit of how Ft. Huachuca was, before Army TRDAOC took it over.

It’s to protect them from the hypergolic fuels used in the vehicles Reaction Control System(RCS). Very caustic, very toxic.
