The U.S. plans to reduce the number of aircraft for NATO operations, another A-10 lifeline appears, and discussions about restarting C-17 production. Also, owner-produced airplane parts, airport weirdos, a new album from Speed Brake Armed, how the NTSB uses audio spectrograms, lying flat on a broken Polaris seat, and Roman Numerals. Aviation News US Plans Major Cut to Fighter Jets, Warships for NATO Operations in Europe, NYT Reports Citing European officials, the New ​York Times reported that the U.S. plans to reduce the number of ⁠F-16 and ⁠F-15E fighter jets from roughly 150 to 100. Maritime reconnaissance ​aircraft would be cut from 26 to 15, and all eight aerial refueling tankers would be pulled. The ⁠New York ​Times said the U.S. aims to redeploy a missile-launching ​submarine and an aircraft carrier, along with several warships and jets ⁠that join ⁠the carrier's missions. One of two groups of bombers previously assigned for ​Europe's defense may also ⁠be reallocated. NATO spokesperson Allison Hart told Reuters, “Historically, there has been an over-reliance on U.S. forces and capabilities.” The U.S. European Command said in a statement that it would “rightsize” its contributions to the NATO Force Model. Congress Throws A-10 Warthog Another Lifeline The A-10 end of life is scheduled for 2030. Depot-level maintenance has stopped, and the 571st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, has ended. The A-10 Weapons School is scheduled to end this year. However, an amendment to the House Armed Services Committee's version of the National Defense Authorization bill seeks to keep the Warthog alive. The amendment calls for the Air Force to keep supporting A-10 training, testing, experimentation, maintenance, and sustainment efforts. Other requirements include preserving lessons learned and operational expertise and maintaining a formal pilot training unit. A-10 Warthog's New Aerial Refueling Probe Is Now Operational In The Middle East The A-10C is now operating in the Middle East with the new probe-and-drogue refueling capability. First demonstrated in early April, it took only six weeks to become operational. Previously, the A-10 could only refuel from a KC-135. The KC-46 was not yet certified to refuel the Warthog due to the “stiff boom” problem, which could damage the receiving aircraft. Now A-10s can refuel KC-46s with the probe or from HC-130s, MC-130s, Marine Corps KC-130s, and KC-130Js from other operators. A-10 with refueling probe. USAF photo. Boeing “Encouraged” By C-17 Production Restart Discussions Restarting C-17 Globemaster III production would be extremely difficult, extremely expensive, but not impossible. There is interest from various operators and from the U.S. Congress, which has asked the Air Force to prepare a formal briefing on the feasibility of acquiring new C-17s. Driving USAF interest is a succession of crises in recent years that have put serious strain on the aircraft, and questions have been raised about the viability of the current plan to keep them flying through 2075. The C-17 is powered by the F117-PW-100, which is the military variant of the PW2000 family (the same engine that powers the Boeing 757). New engine production for the PW2000 stopped in 2016, and the USAF is currently depending on overhauls of existing engines to keep the fleet flying. So the MRO infrastructure, engineering expertise, and supply chain for supporting this engine remain very much alive. In March 2025, RTX announced agreements with JetZero to integrate the PW2040 engine and APU into its blended-wing-body demonstrator. So P&W is actively working on the PW2040 for a new application, which suggests the engine isn’t entirely dormant in their engineering ecosystem. The decision to restart the engine isn't just a P&W decision. The risk-sharing partners, like MTU Aero Engines, have to be on board. There are 222 C-17s in service with the U.S. Air Force today. The last plane was delivered in 2013, and Boeing shut down the line in 2015. Australia, Canada, India, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom operate the C-17. C-17. USAF photo. Listener Mail Eclipse spare parts Mark writes regarding the discussion about Eclipse parts from Episode 896 and notes that FAR 21.9(a)(5) creates a framework for owner-produced parts. Where a certified part is unavailable, owners of certified aircraft can “produce” their own. And they can do that either by making it themselves or by contracting out its production to a suitably qualified supplier. There are rules about quality and the requirement that owner-produced parts be of equivalent specification to OEM parts, but as long as an aircraft owner can put their hand on their heart and assert that those conditions are met, they can supply parts to their maintainer and tell them to install them. See this AOPA guidance. Airport Weirdo Koeby has developed a crowdsourced gallery of airport weirdos, where travelers submit funny photos of strange things they spot in airports. No account is needed; you can just submit your photo, and it will be added to the gallery. It's called Airport Weirdo. New Album release by Speed Brake Armed Pete Buffington tells us about Speed Brake Armed’s new New Age album “Echoes Above the Infinite Sky.” This album takes the listener on a journey of flight from South America, to Spain, to the Cosmos, and back to ancient Greece. Inspired by over 35 years of real pilot experience. Video: 737 Echoes Above The Infinite Sky | Speed Brake Armed | Full Album | New Age Aviation Music https://youtu.be/slO-4xnVqHg Spectrograms Andy adds his perspective about the conversation on spectrograms in NTSB investigations. While he has absolutely no actual knowledge about NTSB processes or how they actually use spectrograms, he speculates based on his experience as an audio engineer for over 30 years: “Spectrograms have been a tool I use fairly regularly in production. To me, it mostly comes down to being able to recognize things that are hard to pick out. For instance, if there is some kind of unpleasant noise in the background of a recording, sometimes I can identify it and potentially filter it out, purely by ear.  Other times, particularly if it's not very far above the noise floor, it can be very difficult to pick out by ear.  In that case, I'll often look at a spectrogram. It's certainly not always helpful, but sometimes there are things that I can pick out visually that I can't pick out audibly… “So I can imagine that in a cockpit recording with a lot of background noise, examining the spectrogram might allow patterns to be detected that would not be obvious audibly. My guess is that they wouldn't be looking at the speech, but rather for indications in sound of what was happening mechanically. “For instance, if there was sound at a particular frequency, happening at a particular interval regularly, that might be an indication of something. That's the sort of thing that you can often see on a spectrogram even if it is audibly buried in the noise floor.” 14 Hours Lying Flat Patrick thinks maybe United could have done better: 14 Hours Lying Flat: United Polaris Passenger Pays $7,400, Gets Just $350 For Broken Seat. A United Airlines passenger has recounted her experience of flying in a faulty Polaris seat. She was forced to sit in a lie-flat position for the entire journey. After complaining, United offered her only $350. The ticket cost $7,388. DCCCXCIV Rob wrote in to say he enjoyed the value that Erin Applebaum brought to Episode 894. Also, that “with the very welcome return of David, this episode may well be the first podcast ever where the hosts have an odd number of kidneys!!” We also got a refresher on Roman Numerals.

Here is your Rumble video description, ready to copy and paste. This Easter weekend, the U.S. military pulled off one of the most daring rescue operations in American history -- pulling a wounded Colonel out of a mountain crevice deep inside Iran after his F-15E was shot down. The CIA ran a fake convoy to confuse the IRGC. American attack aircraft bombed every Iranian search party that got close. Transport planes malfunctioned and were blown up on enemy soil rather than left behind. Seven hours over Iran. Not one American killed. And while all of this was happening -- the American left was posting recycled footage from the Butler assassination attempt and telling the world Trump was dying at Walter Reed. He was in the Oval Office the whole time. We break down every detail of the rescue, the Walter Reed hoax, Trump's legendary Easter morning Truth Social post, and the organized defeatism machine that has been wrong about America for fifty years -- and keeps getting funded anyway. Plus -- the American Enterprise Institute just dropped a bombshell report proving the middle class isn't dying. It's graduating. The upper middle class has tripled since 1979. We have the receipts and the story the doom-sellers don't want you to hear. GUESTS: Jon Miltimore -- Senior Editor, American Institute for Economic Research -- joins at 8AM Central on the middle class economic story.

Partiamo da Budapest, dove il vicepresidente statunitense J.D. Vance è volato per incontrare Victor Orbán e offrirgli il sostegno ufficiale degli Stati Uniti e del presidente Donald Trump, in vista delle elezioni parlamentari del prossimo 12 aprile. L'analisi di Sergio Nava.Con il giornalista investigativo ungherese di ProjectVSquare e Direktiv36 Szabolcs Panyi, parliamo della sua inchiesta sulle conversazioni private tra il ministro degli Esteri Péter Szijiarto e il suo omologo Sergej Lavrov, che ha svelato i legami tra il governo ungherese e quello russo.Infine, con Carlo Biffani, analista esperto di intelligence e security fondatore e direttore di Security Consulting Group, facciamo il punto sull'operazione attraverso cui gli Stati Uniti, dopo due giorni di ricerche, sono riusciti a salvare il navigatore che era ancora disperso in Iran, a seguito dell'abbattimento venerdì dell F-15E su cui stava viaggiando.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur un accord migratoire entre Kinshasa et Washington, un naufrage en Méditerranée et une enquête sur les exactions civiles au Burkina Faso. Iran : que sait-on de l'opération de sauvetage du pilote américain ?   Donald Trump a annoncé, dimanche, que le pilote dont l'avion a été abattu vendredi en Iran a été secouru lors d'une « des opérations de recherche et de sauvetage les plus audacieuses de l'histoire des États-Unis ». Les deux pilotes à bord du chasseur-bombardier F-15E avaient pu s'éjecter avant le crash de l'appareil. Si le premier a été exfiltré rapidement, l'armée américaine a dû lancer une vaste opération pour retrouver le deuxième. Comment a-t-il été localisé ? Quels moyens ont été déployés ? Téhéran avait-il les moyens d'empêcher ce sauvetage ? Avec Franck Alexandre, journaliste spécialiste des questions de défense et de sécurité à RFI.       RDC : pourquoi Kinshasa signe un accord migratoire avec Washington ?   Dans le cadre d'un accord conclu avec l'administration Trump, la République démocratique du Congo a annoncé accueillir, dès ce mois d'avril 2026, des ressortissants de pays tiers expulsés des États-Unis. Si le dispositif sera entièrement financé par les Américains, les contours de cet accord restent flous. Que sait-on pour l'instant ? Que gagne la RDC en acceptant un tel compromis ?       Avec Patient Ligodi, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.       Naufrage en Méditerranée : pourquoi 2026 risque d'être une des années les plus meurtrières ?   Depuis samedi, plus de 70 personnes sont portées disparues après le naufrage d'une embarcation de migrants en Méditerranée centrale. Parti depuis Tajoura, dans le nord de la Libye, le bateau comptait à son bord environ 105 femmes, hommes et enfants d'origine bangladaise, égyptienne et pakistanaise, selon l'ONG Mediterranea Saving Humans. Que sait-on des circonstances de ce naufrage ? Les migrants prennent-ils plus de risques face au durcissement de la politique migratoire européenne ? Avec Welly Diallo, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.      Burkina Faso : plus de 1 800 civils tués en 2 ans, comment Human Rights Watch a-t-elle enquêté ?   Selon un rapport de Human Rights Watch intitulé « Personne ne pourra s'échapper », 1 837 civils ont été tués entre janvier 2023 et août 2025 au Burkina Faso. Des exactions perpétrées par les jihadistes du Jnim (Groupe de soutien à l'islam et aux musulmans), mais aussi et surtout par les forces armées burkinabè et leurs supplétifs civils, les Volontaires de la défense de la patrie. Alors que les autorités burkinabè remettent en cause cette enquête, comment l'ONG a-t-elle mené ses recherches pour dresser un tel bilan ? Avec Jean-Baptiste Gallopin, chercheur principal à la division Crise, conflit et armement à Human Rights Watch.

After President Trump took out Soleimani, you would think that his relatives wouldn't be allowed to spread anti-American hate in the United States. Turns out the State Department is just getting around to it. An F-15E was struck down over Iran, and American special forces went in to recover the missing pilots. Europe just doesn't understand why it matters. X has become a right wing echo chamber. At least, Nate Silver thinks so. Let's try to figure out his logic.

Day 38 of the Iran escalation and the stakes just got even higher. In this episode of the Mike Force Podcast, I break down Trump's explosive warning to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Age,” what that actually means strategically, and why the rhetoric signals a major shift in how this conflict could escalate from pressure campaign to full infrastructure warfare. I also cover the newly released details of one of the most daring combat search and rescue missions in modern history, as U.S. Special Operations forces pushed deep behind enemy lines in Iran to recover two downed F-15E crew members after their jet was shot down near Isfahan. Reports now indicate a massive multi-aircraft rescue package, CIA deception operations, aircraft destroyed on the ground to prevent capture, and a brutal behind-enemy-lines extraction under real risk of Iranian interception. This is a full breakdown of what happened, what it tells us about U.S. capabilities, and what comes next in the Iran war.New Channel https://youtube.com/ ⁨@mikepreachingtothechoir⁩  Follow the underground https://patreon.com/mikegloverGet your Carnivault Subscription and Save on Changing Beef Prices by locking in your prices - The best freeze dried meat for prep or dinner.

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnick, and Vincent Oshana break down the rescue of a U.S. pilot after an F-15E was shot down, Trump's 48-hour Iran warning and “open the strait” threat, Rubio revoking visas of IRGC family members, and the economic and political fallout from Iran war taxes, impeachment calls from Ro Khanna, and Newsom's $19M PR controversy.-------

Send us Fan MailPeaches breaks it down—this isn't theory anymore.A Little Bird destroyed in Iran, multiple aircraft hit, and the second F-15E crew member recovered after evading in the mountains. This wasn't clean. This wasn't easy. This was real. And yeah… people are already calling it Eagle Claw 2.0—but this time, it worked.Peaches dives into what actually matters: the brutality of these missions, the insane level of coordination, and why this should be a wake-up call for anyone pretending fitness or preparation doesn't matter.Then he pivots—budget fights, munitions shortages, and the reality that we're burning through capability faster than we can replace it.Bottom line: you just watched what happens when everything is on the line—and the only thing that matters is bringing people home.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 This Isn't Training Anymore 01:30 Little Bird Down—What That Means 03:00 The Reality of SOAR Pilots 04:30 Some People Don't Deserve Oxygen 05:30 OTS—Train for This, Not Instagram 07:00 F-15 Crew Recovered—Massive Win 09:00 Stop Complaining About PT (Seriously) 11:00 Multi-Aircraft Losses—Still Completed Mission 13:00 Eagle Claw 2.0—But Successful 15:00 Artemis & Space Force Momentum 17:00 Why Space Force Actually Matters 19:00 Coast Guard Doing Real Work Too 21:00 $1.5 Trillion Budget—Good or Insane? 23:00 Munitions Problem—We're Not Ready 25:00 Final Thought—This Is The Standard

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, in what President Trump called "one of the most daring search and rescues in US history", a Pentagon official warns Tehran the Airman's rescue shows the US can penetrate enemy territory 'anywhere' in Iran. Former Pentagon official Brent Sadler said "Not only can we rescue our pilots, but we can also go to where we need to secure nuclear equipment or the remainders of their leadership." Sadler's comments come after the rescue of a U.S. Air Force weapons system officer (WSO) early Sunday morning local time after roughly 36 hours in hiding. The pilot and WSO ejected from an F-15E fighter jet when it was downed over Iran on Friday. The pilot was rescued that morning. Also the dumbest Democratic take on the war with Iran equating the conflict as a "social media war", the significance of the Department of War and a surprising report from the Bureau of Labor with 178,000 jobs created in March.

U.S. rescues airman from Iran mountains after F-15E fighter jet shot down. Airlines are starting to cancel flights as they face jet fuel shortages and rising prices brought on by Iran war.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The world held its breath this Easter weekend as US and Israeli troops scrambled to find a missing Weapons System Operator (WSO) who had been shot down on Friday in his F-15E. The pilot of the aircraft was successfully recovered despite heavy fire from Iranians. The WSO, who is yet to be named, survived for over 36 hours behind enemy lines before being rescued. Details are still emerging but it appears that he may have suffered a concussion during the ejection from the F-15E. Israeli forces played a key role in his rescue, providing intelligence as well as possible covering fire, although that detail has not officially been confirmed.  Back in Israel, some of our team tried to go to the Old City in Jerusalem for Passover but were initially prevented from entering the city since it was closed due to the war. Our team decided to try entering the Old City through a different gate and what the police told them there absolutely shocked them!

An American hero, seriously wounded, survives 36 hours in the Zagros Mountains while evading Iranian bounty hunters. The daring story of courage, resilience, and military skill unfolds as details emerge about the mission, the firefights, and the stakes involved.

A seriously wounded American Air Force colonel survives 36 hours in Iran's Zagros Mountains, dodging bounty hunters and escaping a deadly situation that highlights the stark contrast between U.S. military rescue operations and the disregard for life under the Iranian regime. Plus, a deep dive into recent Middle East operations, the Strait of Hormuz crisis, and lessons from past failures in Afghanistan.

How did America manage to rescue two airmen after their plane was shot down over Iran?In this bonus bank holiday episode, Venetia Rainey is joined by Jack Murphy, ex-US special forces who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, including as a Green Beret. He is now a journalist and military commentator and hosts The Team House national security podcast. He broke the story that the weapons systems officer (WSO) from the downed F-15E had been rescued alive after 36 hours stranded behind enemy lines.Jack provides a unique insight into the dramatic double rescue mission - already being described as the most complex in American military history. He explains the initial search and rescue (CSAR) efforts, what the WSO would have been doing to survive on the ground, and why the US abandoned and blew up two multimillion-dollar aircraft at a remote desert airstrip.Plus: what role is AI playing in the Iran war and beyond, in battlefields from Ukraine to Gaza? The US military increasingly relies on an AI decision support system called Maven to help with targeting, intelligence assessments and troop deployments. Israel and Ukraine use similar technology. Proponents of artificial intelligence argue it makes warfare faster and more efficient - giving the West a key battlefield advantage in a time of rising conflict. But critics say there are concerns over safety and low accuracy, and worry humans are increasingly being left out of the loop. Some of these concerns come from industry insiders such as AI company Anthropic, which is in a dispute with the Pentagon over the use of its system Claude for autonomous weapons. Venetia Rainey is joined by Adam Wishart, the filmmaker behind new Channel 4 documentary, Click to Kill: the AI War Machine, and Heidy Khlaaf, chief AI scientist at the AI Now Institute and previously at OpenAI.

In this high-stakes Monday edition of What's On Your Mind, guest hosts from Turning Point USA—Hayden Smith, Tanner Smith, and Titus Queen—fill in for Scott Hennen to break down a historic weekend. The primary focus is the breathtaking search and rescue operation deep inside Iranian territory to recover a downed U.S. F-15E crew member. The team analyzes the logistics of the mission, the CIA's masterful deception campaign, and the sheer grit of an injured colonel who spent nearly 48 hours evading capture on a 7,000-foot mountain ridge. The episode features full coverage of President Trump's national address, where he details the rescue and issues a final, blunt ultimatum to the Iranian regime regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Later, former National Security Council official Mark Pfeifle joins the show to provide a firsthand account of his recent two-week stint in Qatar, offering a look at how Gulf allies are navigating life in the crosshairs of a regional war.

For the first time in five weeks of war with Iran, two American combat aircraft were shot down in separate incidents. One of two service members onboard an F-15E was rescued. The whereabouts and status of the second crew member are either unknown or haven't been disclosed. During a rescue mission, a Blackhawk helicopter was also shot at, but was able to return to base.

War Room Battle of Kharg Island Updates: Iran Downs U.S. F-15E, One Pilot Rescued, US A-10 Warthog Fighter Jet Crashes Near Strait Of Hormuz, Pilot Rescued, 2 Airmen Missing, Trump Requests $1.2 Trillion in Military Spending

An F-15E is down in southern Iran. Justin, Tony, Eric and I talk through what combat search and rescue actually looks like, how a captured pilot changes the politics of ending this war, and why a hostage makes the "pack up and go home" play functionally impossible. Then: the AWACS that "only" lost a third of itself on a Saudi tarmac, why CENTCOM is still parking high-value aircraft like it's 2003, and what Operation Spiderweb and three years of Ukrainian drone warfare should have taught us but didn't. Plus Pete Hegseth's ongoing purge of the officer corps, the Enron theory of Pentagon innovation, and why the War of 1812 is the best analogy for where this is all heading.

As many of you probably have noticed, we've been doing a lot more with news and defense analysis over on YouTube. Short 8-15 minute videos on things that are happening. It seems to be received well and has gained some traction. Don't worry, the "standard" podcast is still happening. I think it pairs well. But maybe its not for you...and that's ok.  https://www.youtube.com/@AfterburnPodcast With this pivot, there's been a learning curve, and so it hasn't necessarily migrated across all the platforms. Some things just aren't quite easy to do, especially when I weave in traveling with hotel wifi. For example, you'll see I just shared the video.  That said, many have reached out asking to have this released in an audio format, so here it is, and we'll see how it goes.
