Unsatisfied With USAF Answers on A-10, Ayotte Keeps James Hold in Place
Arrow http://www.defensenews.com/article/20131008/DEFREG.....dyssey=mod|
Citat:Senate Armed Services member Kelly Ayotte is keeping up her effort to block the White House's pick for US Air Force secretary after the service provided insufficient data on its plans to retire its A-10 attack aircraft fleet.
Citat:Ayotte, whose husband Joe was an A-10 pilot, raised the issue of cutting the Thunderbolt fleet during a Sept. 19 hearing on James’ nomination in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
“What makes me concerned is that there already has been a decision made on the A-10,” she said. “The A-10 has a very important function in terms of close-air support and in fact, most recently in July, 60 soldiers were saved in Afghanistan because of the important close-air support provided by the A-10.”

Ovo je lično.

Senatori nedaju svinjce.....

Citat:The U.S. Air Force will not be allowed to retire the A-10 if an amendment to the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act takes effect.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte introduced the amendment and wants the USAF to certify that the F-35 is ready to take over from the A-10 before the latter can be taken out of the fleet.

fin ::Eto upravo sam završio čitanje knjige (u 3 ujutro ..hehe) majora Goldia Hauna "A-10s over Kosovo" gde opisuje kako ga je pogodio manpad iznad Kosova i kako je jedva sletio u Skopje. Veoma zanimljiva knjiga sa dosta fotografija i detalja, među ostalim i opisuje neuspeli napad na Giraffe radar u Crnoj Gori.

Dakle, u pitanju je A-10 sa brojem 967, pogođen u desni motor. Evo fotografije nakon sletanja u Skopju iz njegove knjige:



..i nakon popravke desnog motora u Skopju:



..i evo još svedočenje o pogađanju i sletanju u Skopje iz njegove knjige:

Citat:
“Lynx 11, copy. One is just west of G-Town climbing . . . OK!
I just got hit! I’m turning to the south.” I never saw what hit
me. As I looked up to find Andy, I felt an incredible jolt to the
aircraft on the right side. The nose tried to roll off to the right,
and I had to put in full left rudder to keep her from flipping
over. I was struggling at this point just to keep the jet flying.
I am trailing you. I need you to 90 right.” I asked Andy where he
was and he informed me he was southwest of Gnjilane at
16,000 feet. I’m headed towards Skopje. I’ve got the right engine
. . . looks like the whole engine cowling got hit . . . and I’ve got
no right hydraulics. I’ve got a wingman with me, and I’m
headed towards Skopje. Currently I’m about five miles from
the border.” OK, I feel fairly confident that I’ll make it across
the border, not sure if I can land. I figured even if the left engine quit, I could still
glide to Macedonia. The tower at Skopje was very helpful, diverting two heavy
aircraft on approach as I started my teardrop turn to final.


Ako su se več neki drugi kovali u heroje radi obaranja f-117 (i svađali), bio bi i red da se bar zna ko je ispalio i ovaj manpad ..da se i tog nepoznatog čoveka malo nagradi - tu bar nebi bilo svađe oko toga ko je bio ako je ispalio sa svog ramena :-)


U pitanju je sada Sasa Denda.....covek koji je na moju konstataciju <Pa vi ste pogodili A10, ne mogu da verujem> on je hladno odgovori <pa sta tu imam da pricam to mi je posao, nema tu sta da se prica i hvali> na moje visednevno insistiranje i smaranje na kraju je i ispricao kako ga je pogodio i kako se bukvalno pokajao sto ga je gadjao zato sto su narednih tri dana i sam ne zna koliko je bombi na njegovu jedinicu baceno

EOD, ..odma iza ovog mosta je uklonjena bariera između leve i desne trake autoputa te je tako na jednom ravnom komadu od oko 2km proširen autoput da služi kao pista. Postoji na desetine video snimaka i fotografija baš sa ovog mesta na gornjoj sliki gde se spuštaju Jaguari, Harrieri, C-130 i drugi.
