Au Sénégal, la présence militaire française agite les réseaux sociaux cette semaine. Alors que le désengagement des éléments sur place est en cours, une rumeur mensongère circule à propos d'un convoi militaire français qui aurait récemment quitté Dakar. En réalité, cette fausse information repose sur des images sorties de leur contexte. C'est notre rédaction à Dakar qui a lancé l'alerte. À en croire plusieurs messages mensongers publiés sur les réseaux sociaux, un convoi de véhicules militaires français aurait quitté Dakar ce lundi 28 avril 2025, escorté par l'armée sénégalaise. La rumeur a d'abord été diffusée par un portail d'information en ligne, avant de se répandre dans la presse locale et d'être poussée par des comptes de propagande. Des médias russes, comme RT, ont également repartagé l'infox.La vidéo censée documenter ce départ dure une trentaine de secondes. Elle est intitulée, « les premiers Éléments Français au Sénégal quittent Dakar ». On y voit une colonne de quinze véhicules progressant dans le trafic. On y retrouve notamment des camions de transports, plusieurs 4×4 ainsi qu'un blindé de reconnaissance.Notre rédaction à Dakar a géolocalisé précisément ces images, filmées sur l'autoroute A1, au niveau du Croisement Cambérène.Un convoi néerlandaisVérification faite, cette vidéo ne montre pas un convoi de l'armée française. Le blindé de reconnaissance visible en queue de peloton est un Fennek. Ce véhicule, de conception néerlando-allemande, ne figure pas dans l'arsenal français.Des sources militaires haut placées, contactées par RFI, confirment qu'il s'agit d'un convoi néerlandais présent dans le cadre de l'exercice « African Lion 2025 ». Cet entraînement militaire, supervisé par le Commandement des États-Unis pour l'Afrique, a débuté mi-avril. Au total, plus de 10 000 soldats de 40 pays différents sont mobilisés en Tunisie, au Maroc, au Ghana, mais aussi, au Sénégal. Des soldats ivoiriens, mauritaniens, néerlandais, américains et sénégalais sont présents au pays de la Teranga.Des soldats français photographiés à Gao en 2021D'autres images sorties de leur contexte circulent également sur les réseaux sociaux à propos du désengagement français. Plusieurs internautes illustrent ce supposé départ du 28 avril 2025 avec une photo montrant une dizaine de militaires français, sacs sur le dos et masques chirurgicaux sur le visage, en train de monter dans la soute d'un avion de transport. Mais dans les faits, cette image n'a rien à voir avec le désengagement en cours au Sénégal.Grâce à une recherche par image inversée (voir ici comment faire), on sait que ce cliché montre des soldats français de la force Barkhane, embarquant à bord d'un avion C130 de l'US Air Force, à Gao, au Mali, le 9 juin 2021.La réalité du désengagementSi ces images sont diffusées à des fins de désinformation, le désengagement des éléments français au Sénégal, initié en 2025, est bien une réalité. La commission franco-sénégalaise s'est réunie pour la première fois, le 28 février 2025, pour établir le calendrier et les modalités de remise à disposition des emprises utilisées par les Éléments français au Sénégal. Contrairement à ce qu'écrivent certains articles de presse, les installations des quartiers Maréchal et Saint-Exupéry ont par exemple déjà été restituées, au mois de mars dernier.L'opération devrait s'achever entre juillet et août. « Reste à savoir, confie une source militaire, quel niveau d'ambition pourrait revêtir la forme du partenariat rénové, en matière de défense et de sécurité, entre la France et le Sénégal ».

Die "KI" sagt folgendes: Die Episode startet mit einer Begrüßung und einem Bericht von Markus über seine Aktivitäten. Danach geht es um technische Details wie das Rotorblatt mit Chevron-Trailing-Edge und einen Flug nach Lienz. Steffen erzählt, was er gemacht hat, gefolgt von Feedback zur F-Schlepp-Folge und interessanten historischen Anekdoten wie dem Troikaschlepp der Messerschmitt Me 321 und Bob Hoovers Show. Diskutiert wird auch ein Unfall mit einem Ultraleichtflugzeug nach einem Zusammenstoß mit einer Drohne und der Absturz eines BAF Yak-130 in Chittagong. Weitere Themen sind die "Airleron Roll", historische Flugunfälle, MCAS-Recover, Rückwärtsrollen einer C130 und ein Doppeldecker, der in der Nordsee wasserte. Abschließend gibt es eine Notlandung eines Kleinflugzeugs in einem Mannheimer Industriegebiet und die Landung in einem Wohngebiet, gefolgt von einer humorvollen Frage von Dennis und einer Geschichte zum Ende.

Anche se non necessariamente in ottanta giorni, come voleva Jules Verne, chi di noi non ha sognato di compiere il giro del mondo? Non erano trascorsi trent'anni dal viaggio di Colombo che già Magellano si lanciava nell'impresa. Impiegò tre anni. Dei 237 uomini imbarcati su cinque navi ne rientrarono solo diciotto su un'unica nave.Cento anni fa una squadra americana si lanciò nel primo giro aereo del mondo. Il viaggio del 1924 fu più lento di quello di Jules Verne. Durò infatti non 80, ma 175 giorni, nel corso dei quali vennero superati 42.400 km, volando da est a ovest attraverso Pacifico, Asia, Europa e Atlantico. Era stato appositamente costruito un aereo, il Douglas World Cruiser, un biplano monomotore, con caratteristiche precise: affidabilità, sicurezza, autonomia e dotazioni da idrovolante per eventuali ammarraggi.Nel frattempo, un'altra aviatrice americana, la leggendaria Amelia Earhart cercava di completare il primo giro aereo femminile del mondo. Alla soglia dei quarant'anni decise di cimentarsi nell'impegnativa rotta equatoriale, che richiedeva un interminabile volo di 47 mila chilometri. Pianificò accuratamente ogni dettaglio, ma quando mancavano solo 12.000 km, l'aereo della aviatrice americana si inabissò nelle acque dell'oceano Pacifico. Da allora la sua fine è diventata un giallo, su cui si torna periodicamente a discutere.In questa trasmissione discutono di questi avventurose trasvolate uno storico dell'aviazione, il professor Gregory Alegi, e un pilota di C130, il capitano Jacopo Fainozzi Perini, che ci aiuteranno a capire difficoltà eroismi di quelle imprese

Today's Story: Going Further

C'est sur la base militaire jordanienne Abdallah II de Malka, à 30 kilomètres d'Amman, que les opérations de largages humanitaires se poursuivent à destination des populations de la bande de Gaza. En plus des trois avions militaires jordaniens, il y avait trois avions américains, un avion égyptien et un avion français.

À l'intérieur de l'avion français C130, plusieurs militaires s'activent à la tâche, car il faut charger près de six tonnes de nourritures fournies en grande partie par le royaume hachémite. Au-dessus de chaque chargement : des parachutes, explique le chef largueur français.« Dans ce sac de voile, il y a dix parachutes qui vont venir s'épanouir et s'ouvrir les uns après les autres afin de supporter le poids de la charge. Comme on a un poids conséquent, on met un gros parachute », montre-t-il.Au moment de l'ouverture de la trappe de l'avion, chaque militaire participant à la mission – dix ce jour-là – devra tenir son rôle. Celui du chef de soute sera de contrôler les sangles qui retiennent les colis alimentaires dans l'avion.« En fait, les sangles que vous voyez sur les côtés, à h-10 minutes, on va en enlever les partiels, retenus vers l'avant et vers l'arrière, et ensuite à h-5 minutes, on va enlever la retenue verticale et les charges vont sortir de l'avion et il y aura une SOA [Sangle à ouverture automatique, NDLR] qui va libérer les parachutes. »À lire aussiAide humanitaire à Gaza: le président américain accentue la pression sur le gouvernement israélienSix pays ont participé à des missions de largage d'aide humanitaire sur la bande de GazaIl y a cinq militaires, ils portent tous des parachutes.

The Navy's Blue Angels showcase the C-130's capabilities at aerial shows around the country.

In 1996, eight C-130's rolled out of the Lockheed Martin factory and sent to the Minnesota Air National Guard. Since then, the 133rd MXG has been maintaining these aircraft throughout its service life. Only one to date has reached 10,000 flying hours while deployed to Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait on February 10, 2020. Jet 96-10003 hit this mark after completing tours to Oman, Bagram, Kuwait and other operations since 2002.

Episode 197 is the eighth in a mini- series wander covering the Secret Service and their possible involvement in the coverup, or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy.  Today's episode  continues our coverage of the individuals in the white house detail who were in Dallas that fateful day.  In this episode, we tell the story of Sam Kinney the driver of the Secret Service  follow up car. The car that was carrying the bulk of the secret service agents, and which was  situated right behind the presidential limousine in the motorcade.  Kinney is undoubtedly one of the good guys, and his  comments are  captured during an oral interview  by Vince Palamara and and in  his only public television appearance on the Today Show.  Kinney would privately reveal that he was the one who found the bullet in the presidential limousine. A fact made public after his death by Gary Louck, who was his neighbor and  his friend. Before Kinney died, he would tell Palamara the story of how he found a piece of the presidents skull as he was inspecting the presidential limousine.  Kinney was  taking the limousine  back to Washington via a C130 transport plane when he came across the skull fragment. He would drop the  fragment in his pocket and  deliver it  to Dr. George Berkely, once he returned to Washington. Where did the fragment go....the answer to that question is still a mystery as it is unaccounted for at the autopsy. Join us for all sorts of fascinating facts and revelations from this straight shooting and forthright member of the secret service team.  Delving deeper into the individuals involved into  the President's protection  is for the purpose of solving the perplexing  question of how men generally so loyal to the President, might have motivations to act otherwise.  It is the seminal question regarding the inner workings of the secret service and their true orientation to President Kennedy. The inner  workings of the Secret Service are just that...they are secret...and not much has been said by the agents outside of the official agency position.... since the assassination, but at least one man Vince Palamara is widely considered to be the resident expert on how the Secret Service figures into the assassination story.  Mr. Palamara has done more original research on this topic than  anyone else.  Others have done extensive research including Doug Horne. So this series of episodes will give us a chance to better understand this often over looked aspect of the assassination story.  Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

美国人也觉得U2高空侦察机虽然有4800公里的航程，但是也还是不够。他们尝试把U2飞机运到航空母舰甲板上。U2这种飞机有着巨大的细长机翼，所以它的起飞速度很低，甚至不需要弹射器就足以从航空母舰上起飞，洛克希德的试飞员甚至只用了三分之一的甲板长度就起飞了。但是也因为它的机翼尺寸太大了，总怕降落的时候磕磕碰碰。而且这架飞机是自行车式起落架，机身上一前一后装了两排轮子。在起飞的时候，机翼因为太长了 ，两端有点下垂，必须装两个小轮子托着。飞起来以后，小轮子就扔了。降落的时候，只能靠机身前后两个轮子来着舰，这样就不太稳当。经常在着陆的瞬间，就像皮球一样从甲板上弹起来，这样根本就没办法在航母上着陆。洛克希德公司的工程师对飞机做了改装，加装了着舰钩。到了1964年，美国人终于可以驾驶U2侦察机降落在航空母舰上了。至于最开始是在哪艘船上降落的，现在已经不可考。有可能是在小鹰号上，也有可能是在企业号上。飞机降落的时候受了伤，鼻子撞到甲板上，空速管撞坏了，不过这些都是小伤，很容易修理，几天以后就修好了。尽管美国人掌握了U2高空侦察机在航母上起降的技术，但是这项技术就不太实用，因为要想让这个活宝从航母上起飞必须把航母甲板清空。严重影响航空母舰上的飞行调度。所以U2从航母上起飞执行侦查任务只有一次，那就是去监视法国在法属波利尼西亚群岛的核试验。美国人根据U2的采集的数据，断定法国人在一年内就能准备就绪，全面生产核武器。当然U2这种飞机虽然尺寸很大，机翼很长，但是它的重量却不大。这还不是降落在航空母舰上的最大的飞机，最大的飞机是C130大力神。在1963年的秋天，美国人就让一架KC-130F在福莱斯特号航空母舰进行了一系列的评估飞行，飞机从航空母舰上一次又一次的飞越，一次比一次靠近，而且还多次在福莱斯特号航空母舰上触舰起飞。就像打水漂一样，轮子在航母甲板上碰一下，然后就飞起来走了。最后飞行员觉得有把握了才正经八百的把这架C130大力神停泊在航空母舰上，滑跑距离只有101米，因为C130在降落的时候可以让螺旋桨由正向的拉力变成反向的推力，可以大大减小降落的距离。当然了，像C130这样的尺寸4发动机运输机在航空母舰上调度起来实在是太麻烦了，所以没有实用性。你想啊，如果是一架尺寸很小的战斗机在跑道上出了故障，那么我们可以把它推到一边去，不能耽误别的飞机起飞降落，可是如果是一架C130大力神，这么大的飞机停泊在甲板上，然后它出了故障飞不起来，你拿它怎么办？你能把它推到一边去吗？不行啊，航母甲板上根本就没他周转的空间，你只能狠心把它推到水里不要了。不过呢，美国人还真的专门为海军和陆战队研发过短距起降的运输机。这就是XC-142短距起降运输机。这架飞机最大的特点就是机翼能竖起来，发动机和螺旋桨不就跟着竖起来了嘛。从而可以达到短距起降的目的。从开头的X编号，大家也能看得出，这是一架技术验证机。XC-142曾经在本宁顿号航母上做过测试。这种飞机甚至能垂直起飞。飞到空中以后，机翼放平，变成普通的4发动机螺旋桨飞机，起飞重量可以达到20吨。可以说，这种飞机就是现在V-22鱼鹰机的前辈。但是这架飞机的缺点在当时是难以克服的。这架飞机虽然能垂直起降，却代替不了直升机。而且相比普通的固定翼运输机，这家伙的航程又不长。说白了，垂直起降的飞机就没有航程远的，这种起降方式本身就特别的耗油……清除所有标记清除选中的标记错误类型无错字 - 写作（在线版）

He would also see intense action as a gunship pilot in Vietnam.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Col. Blount takes us through his early days as a Super Constellation pilot and some of the unusual circumstances he faced in that role. He then tells us about changing to the C-130 and flying through 18 typhoons in East Asia before returning to the U.S., where he flew the Apollo 13 crew to Washington after the dramatic conclusion of that mission. He also flew the president and vice-president as a pilot of Boeing 707's commonly known as Air Force One and Air Force Two.Finally, he describes rejecting an assignment stateside in order to fly an AC-130 gunship in Vietnam. Blount takes us inside the intensity of that combat, being close to one of the rare gunship disasters of the war, and flying a mission after the war was officially over.

George Ferkes could not pass up the opportunity to fly in the U.S. Air Force. After finishing flight school in 1970, he soon found himself in the skies over Vietnam. Ferkes flew in support of Operation Lam Son 719/Dewey Canyon II and the Siege of Fire Support Base Fuller. Less than a decade later, Ferkes was co-piloting an MC-130 gunship as part of Operation Eagle Claw in the mission designed to rescue hostages in Iran.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Ferkes takes us inside the intensity of combat in Vietnam and the actions for which he received a Silver Star during the fight at FSB Fuller. He also walks us through the planning for Operation Eagle Claw, how the mission unfolded, and how it ultimately had to be aborted and ended in in the loss of eight American heroes.Finally, Ferkes shares his memories of Joint Special Operations Command and U.S. Special Operations Command taking shape in the wake of Operation Eagle Claw and his role in planning the U.S. intervention in Grenada and our response to the terrorist hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea.

Tony's Book The Flying Mathematicians of World War I Resources Mentioned PHC UK (Public Health Collaboration) Charity Dr Aseem Malhotra Lou Walker - Fabulously Keto Interview Quotes by Tony Royle “I had to work out that it was the drugs that were making me poorly” “I wasn't actually that fit or well underneath the surface” “It's basically been fraud for many, many decades, this story about cholesterol and heart disease - It's just not true” “The one thing, the most important thing, which is our health, without our health we can't do anything, can we? That's the one thing I had ignored. That's the one area I had put my trust in other people.” “I could have died because I had chosen to ignore it.” “All the research and educational or nearly all of it anyway is paid for by an entity that has a vested interest in us being unhealthy, that's the most ridiculously stupid thing to do.” “You get the odd doctor that says, hang on a minute, this isn't right but as soon as they say that, they become sort of demons in their profession. They're marginalised. Nobody wants to be with that guy, he's the crazy guy.” “At any given time, our cholesterol will be what our body wants it to be.” “This is a cascade then of disruption causing requirements for more drugs. ” “It is such a complex thing, the human body and it's inherently able to look after itself, all we need to do, is not toxify it and make sure it's not deficient in anything it can't produce.” “Everybody is blessed with an innate common sense and intuition.” “Take ownership of your own health rather than delegating it to a third party.” “It's interesting that all the metrics that the doctors look at all went in opposite directions to what their science told me should happen.” Connect with Tony Royle on social media Twitter: https://twitter.com/Tony_Royle Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/tony.royle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyroyle If you have enjoyed listening to this episode - Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

When I met Christian Shauf, the Founder and CEO of Uncharted Supply Co (https://unchartedsupplyco.com/), I was with him and his band Catchpenny (the Armed Forces Entertainers of the year!) making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on a C130 flying over to Iraq.  Since then, he went on to provide morale and mental health relief to countless deserving soldiers overseas, then going on Shark Tank to get backing for Uncharted Supply Co. and their amazing line of emergency preparedness gear.  Athlete, adventurer and Entrepreneur, Christian talks to us today about Getting uncomfortable and being comfortable there!  The value of discomfort training.His goal to help people prepare for huge changes they may not have the skills to deal with in this Nerfed up world.The journey of life and discovering what we don't know and learningOur adventures in Iraq and on the San Francisco Marathon course.  What is Christian Reading?   Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink (you can get that here. https://www.amazon.com/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/1250067057)Go check out Uncharted Supply Co.  https://unchartedsupplyco.com/

In this episode of The Real ResQ, we are joined by Dr. Chris Hewitt, Prehospital and Emergency Medicine Physician.  Chris gives us a different perspective as the Medical Director from his background.  He tells us of a story where he ran some of his junior medics through a tough scenario which turned into a real life save scenario six months later.  With his type of training scenarios, he looks for his medics to “make a decision that's heading toward right.” We then get into a story about when he was working in Houston TX and he helped on scene with a terrible car crash.  Our next story from Chris was while he was on a fixed wing flight on a C130.  A hard landing literally cracked the tail of the C130, Chris never skipped a beat with his patient care. We finish our conversation talking about training scenarios and collaboration with a multitude of moving parts.

Our schedules got in the way of recording this week, so we're revisiting one of our early episodes. We cleaned up the audio a bit (as best we could given the original Skype recordings) and added the cover art, which we didn't start doing until later episodes. We had a good time with this episode, just dishing on ghost stories with the aid of good whiskey. So, what was The Maco Light? A hundred years and a thousand storytellers have blurred the legend of the Maco Light and we're not going to make it any clearer. Joe Baldwin was a brakeman and was traveling in the caboose of an Atlantic Coast Line train through the little town of Maco, North Carolina, when all of a sudden it became uncoupled from its train. Was there something nefarious about this? We don't know. But, Joe, who may or may not have been asleep and/or drinking, realized that another train following close behind was about to collide with his car that sat motionless on the track. He ran to the back of the caboose, wildly swinging his lantern to get the engineer's attention, but the engineer who may or may not have been asleep and/or drinking, didn't see Joe's light in time. And the oncoming train crashed into Joe's caboose taking Joe's head in the process and flinging it into a nearby swamp. For more than 100 years, until the track was pulled-up in the late 1970s, Joe's body roamed the tracks each night with his trusty lantern in hand in an endless search for his severed head (you'd think he'd have searched the swamp, right?). In addition to Joe, we talk about the haunted Carleton House on Fort Huachuca Army Base in Arizona. Where a ghost name Charlotte pranks the Strom family by ringing the doorbell and running away, taking pictures off the wall, and turning the lights out at night. Of course there could be other non-paranormal explanations for these occurrences and we rag Col Strom for 'em. We also discuss the C-130 Loadmaster at Little Rock AFB who was crushed between two Humvee's being off-loaded from the plane, and how he sticks around after death to work on the plane. And finally, we touch on the USAF Academy cadet who after committing suicide in the 60s still practices his marching on the parade field each year when the new freshmen class arrives. And as we go through these stories, we digress into a conversation about the reclamation of lost submarines, inoperable dishwashers, and 3M Command Strips.

Four-and-a-bit Doctors battle Cybers, a chap in silver spandex and a Time Lord conspiracy in the 20th Anniversary Special

This is episode 33 and we're inside Cassinga on the 4th May 1978 with the SADF paratroopers and SWAPO who are going toe-to-toe. Episode 32 outlined the detail of the jump – now we're going to follow the action inside the town which was SWAPOs HQ in southern Angola. We'll also hear about the mobilisation of the SADF mechanised battalions far to the south, just against the cutline – the border between South West Africa and Angola. They were heading for Chetequera and other bases and this force was going to face its own set of challenges. Remember there were different groups of SADF paratroopers doing different things at Cassinga that cool morning in May. Charlie Company had settled into its assigned stopper position East of the town - but they were already 45 minutes behind schedule. The entire attack was supposed to take two hours and this was a bad sign. Even more of an issue was the Alpha and Bravo main assault groups which had landed almost two kilometers off their assigned dropzone south west of Cassinga. This was mainly because the C130 and C160 pilots had waited a few extra seconds as they flew over the town because they couldn't see the zones – the wind had blown dust and smoke from the Canberra and Buccaneer bombing runs over these points and confused them. While the critical battle for this strategic position would continue, we need to shift our attention almost directly due south of Cassinga to the join the men of Battle Group Juliet. That was the second third of a three phased attack into Angola set for May as part of Operation Reindeer – and overland assault just over the cutline. That plan was to the advance on Chetequera and the various mechanised units began rolling out of their training bases at 22 hours 40 on May 3rd. That's when columns of emerged from Juliet's training camp into a bitterly cold semi-desert night. But there were three separate combat teams involved starting from different positions.

Our MavGeeks have a truly spiritual experience this week as they speak to Our Sacred Lady of the Fat Albert, Reverend (Sqn Ldr) Alice McDermott – Pilot turned Padre -about her time flying the venerable C130 Hercules. Alex brings up a less than sanctified topic about praying to the Lockheed Martin gods down the big white telephone after a few bumpy trips down route, Gini comes to the confessional to admit she has also come close to offering up those prayers after a few spins around the Rock of Gibraltar in the back of the venerated Lockheed Lady; three Hail Hercules and a stiff cup of tea and peace is restored. Join our Mavs and the divine Rev Alice, as they chat through making bacon and eggs mid-flight, the J or the K, delivering tubes of pringles to warzones and meeting “Ally McMeal”. For what you are about to receive, may the Loadies/Lockheed Martin make us truly thankful… This is an original podcast series from BFBS. Written, presented and produced by Gini Carlin and Alex Gill Email us mavgeeks@bfbs.com

Merry Christmas! For 69-years the US Air Force has performed what has become the oldest continuing Department of Defense mission and the longest-running humanitarian airlift in the world. Every year, the multinational Operation Christmas Drop brings school supplies, clothing, rice, fishing equipment, and toys to more than 50 remote Pacific islands throughout the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. Utilizing Air Force C-130J "Super Hercules" aircraft, the operation also gives the Airmen the opportunity to practice humanitarian aid drops, as they'll later be expected to conduct drops over countries like Iraq or Afghanistan after deployment.
