Airman + consultant + aero engineer interested in national strategy, domestic policy, environmentalism, good food, and all things aviation. Views = mine alone and not representative of anyone I work for. #airpower

USVs as weapons make very little sense to me. “What if we made it a torpedo, but slower and more visible?” Especially in a world where we have all of these FPV quadcopters - very easy to envision a world where defense is on the better part of the cost curve for countering these.

Absolutely criminally incompetent planning that there is no way to practically use public transit in DC to get to Andrews

I guess I’m kind of a hater, which makes me sad as a lover of technology, but it’s astounding how much hype Hermeus gets for making a plane go supersonic. Congrats, welcome back to 1947. Yes digital manufacturing and speed, etc. but at some point we’re just paying people to learn things again?

We need to eliminate the word “warfighter” from our national dictionary. We don’t deliver products to “warfighters,” we deliver them to “Americans,” and, “soldiers.” We’re not spartans.

Rest in peace to our air defense soldiers, killed in action doing the noble work of trying to protect friends and strangers. Breaks my heart.

The Defense Department identified the two active duty service members who were killed on July 17 and July 18.

Archer announcing their collaboration with Anduril to reach new levels of snake oil production. It is insane how every startup and fail company eventually shifts to trying to collect those sweet government dollars. Incredible skepticism is required. www.investors.archer.com/news/news-de...

Flying low doesn't make a warrior, it makes you bait for MANPADS.

The hagiography will be mind melting. That Ossoff is in this position is insane and speaks to how insane our politics are.

David Alman

It is absolutely mind boggling how Ossoff launched from "rich kid" with no qualifications to "lost house election" to "Senate" to "probable 2028 President" based on insane circumstances and Republican incompetency.

Stupid stupid stupid. WSOs are great at tactics, but you need someone to help with the 13th air refueling of the mission at night in the weather. Classic Air Force to spend billions on a new piece of hardware and then mess up the people side. www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-to...

The United States military is always looking for good Americans to compete for slots to fly fighter jets. Of course, that does require you to sign the dotted line.

The Washington Post

A dispute among Cabinet officials over who could ride in fighter jets flying over D.C. on July Fourth escalated to President Trump, who gave the go-ahead to acting attorney general Todd Blanche despite objections from Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy.

Literally insane. Gwynne shows who she really is, which makes sense after working for Elon. Also, how is this not illegal? Accounts named after an elected official with billionaires donating? It’s just blatantly buying votes. www.cnbc.com/2026/07/06/s...
