That’s a lot of mental gymnastics to describe a couple of his lies. He knew what he was doing when he repeatedly lied about his retired rank an he knew he never served in war. No self respecting veteran would consciously do what he did with respect to his service.
I’m also pretty sure Miley’s photo is also official where wearing a full awards is required. Not sure what the requirements were when General Eisenhower served
I’m not taking Milly’s side, but General Eisenhauer is wearing only his top three awards, which was a custom when I served in the 80’s and 90’s. He earned many more than three.
Those sailors are in flight deck jerseys. Each color represents a job on the deck. It makes it easier to see who is where and who should or shouldn’t be where they are.
I was a flight instructor in the Navy and we practiced breakups and rendezvous all the time - day, night and using NVDs
Losing sight of the lead happens - especially when coming in at too acute an angle and the pilot has to increase angle of bank to get into position - not a good feeling.
That may be true, but a pilot can’t see through his own fuselage and wing no matter how high up on the aircraft the cockpit is. It really doesn’t take much angle of bank to start obscuring view.
The rate of closure of the smaller aircraft would indicate it needed to either an underrun or overrun due to an excessive rate of closure.
When conducting such a maneuver, the plane closing needs to either gain or lose altitude. (underrun is safer because the closing pilot can see the other aircraft at all times)
Judging by his bank angle, he most likely lost sight of the B-17 due to his bank angle.
A&M is offering tuition, room and board to Ukraine students that are already enrolled in school. Any Ukrainian who wants to go there now does not get that offer and must apply for admission and student aide if they can’t afford the costs.
I know this because my lovely wife and I are hosting a Ukraine family with a college Ave student. We contacted A&Ms admissions and found out.
My lovely wife and I took in a family that was stranded in Mexico when Putin invaded. They are a wonderful, hard working family who can’t wait to get work permits so that they can pay their own way. We love them.
This is anectodal evidence, but I slid e they are not the exception when it comes to Ukraine people.
