  • Time stamp 5:39 the back of the seat is labeled "TRAVIS," this indicates that the aircraft is stationed out of Travis Air Force Base in California. I lived there for about 6 years when I was a kid (1980s) and my USAF enlisted dad was stationed to the base. Also, time stamp 5:49 the tail of the aircraft is labeled AFRC MARCH, this indicates that the airplane is stationed out of March Air Reserve Base also in California, (the AFRC standing for "Air Force Reserves Command.") Albeit while Travis AFB is in Northern California, March ARB is in Southern California and is less than five miles from where I now live. All that said, great video clips "Not What You Think." 😉👍

  • I wouldn't say it is "jury-rigging" the size of the US Navy's air force by adding Marine Corps aviation assets. Marine Corps fighter squadrons serve in the same CVW as Navy fighter squadrons (CVW-9 includes VMFA-314 flying the F-35C, for instance), Marine Corps SNAs and SNFOs train alongside their Navy and Coast Guard counterparts and all are designated as "Naval Aviator" at the conclusion of AFT.

  • The Army Air Force had two huge issues during WW2, and probably today also. First, all the Air Force really wants to do is bomb things. All that logistics stuff, and fighter stuff, and all the rest of the non-bomber stuff, is because the Air Force doesn't want anyone else to have planes. During WW2, it was like pulling teeth, using Army Doctors, to get the Army Air Force to provide close air support, and gliders, and transport aircraft for Airborne units. Second, related to the first, is that the AAF didn't want to take any instructions on what targets were important. So, if the Army said they needed some target taken out, the AAF might or might not take it out. It depended on what they wanted to bomb. The basic reason there is an Air Force today is that all those dashing AAF pilots formed a very powerful political block, and they wanted their bombers and didn't want to listen to anyone whose feet stayed on the ground.

  • Your categorization is a distinction without a difference. Both the Army and the Marine Corps have horses that are primarily used in ceremonial capacities during peacetime - as are the soldiers and marines that ride them. But the moment a war breaks out and the mission calls for it, those animals can be deployed to a war zone to get the job done. Your definition of "working horses" overlooks the hard work put in by those who would laugh at the idea that they are not "working".
