Damn. That must have made the mission way easier.U.S. notably launched strike on Venezuela under full moonlight

The hyperbole of your post was rich.
Given that you have no idea how those guys typically operate or their normal mission profile, I don’t think anyone cares…?
Wait…. You do?
Jesus do you really want to make everything a measuring contest on this. You wanna know what made the mission easier? Effective mission planning and rehearsal. High illum just makes is one amongst a bunch of triggers.
Guy pointed out a fact, it was high/higher illumination. It was also an urban op providing lower contrast because of the higher overhead illumination. That’s actually totally in line with risk mitigation, both from a flight perspective and from a treat/target visibility perspective for the guys that have to make those decisions when capture is the primary coa.
The jet guys gotta get their hate in for just sitting in the overhead while real work is getting done. Don’t have to hate them back for their inferiority to the critical task of capturing the dude. At least he’s not some Eagle/Raptor guy reminding us all how important he was to a fight with no red air.

Thanks for the lecture on the NVD environment, planning, and risk management.
Fair enough.
Yeah, I’m the guy that doesn’t have institutional knowledge….
You were being a dick, and bowing up your chest unnecessarily to defend an organization you’ve never been part of from an offhand joke. Why don’t you defend them for landing to the X or Y to the fixed wing guys who’ve never had to consider it.
Don’t do that. They don’t need it.

I made a statement insinuating that certain media outlets over exaggerate events, but in this case, I disagreed.
For the record, I take the bolded statement as a compliment. Now continue flailing your arms. Cute pictures btw.
What an amazing flex from somebody that’s never landed to an X ever.
Tell us more about the mission profile.
If he was trashing or linking “news” trashing Cobra guys I’d get the hate, but damn man the defense of ARSOA is hardly needed.

The arm flailing continues. *sigh*
I was waiting on you to tell us ignorant aviators on how to plan it. I forget, do we normally goggle at EENT or EECT? Will the gegenschein affect us tonight or not?
The irony in claiming not landing to the X is a flex? because I didn’t get bad grades in flight school? Weird. Please send more pictures to impress your online friends.
