Podcasts about reconnaissance wing

Episode Summary: Heather “Lucky” Penney and Senior Fellow Brig Gen Houston "Slider" Cantwell, USAF (Ret.) chat with some of the nation's top remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) commanders about on-going combat contributions and the Air Force's future development path for this incredible mission. They are joined by Brig Gen Christopher "Reggie" Hammond, Director of RPA and Airborne ISR Capabilities at Headquarters Air Force; Col Timothy "Tilt" Monroe, Wing Commander of the 319th Reconnaissance Wing; and Col Nicholas "Fever" Pederson, Wing Commander of the 432nd Wing. Remotely Piloted Aircraft spent the past two decades affording incredible battlefield persistence and compressed the kill chains unlike any weapon system in history. Airmen are now working to develop new tactics, techniques, and procedures to address challenges of today and tomorrow—including the peer threat. We also explore how RPA operations will help inform emerging technologies like Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).

Welcome to another episode, the seventy-fifth, of the Lessons from the Cockpit show! I am your host Mark Hasara and for over 60 years my passion has been aviation. The situation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Adan has everyone's attention. It's the continuation of the Proxy War between western powers and the Ayatollahs of Iran and their influence with the Houthi Rebels in Yemen, attacking shipping in one of the largest and wealthiest waterways on the planet. America and our allies have been here before, sometimes with tragic results. The USS Cole was nearly sunk in the Yemeni harbor of Adan after an al Qaeda suicide boat rammed into it. The weapons used are now much more sophisticated and supplied by other US enemies. But we are more prepared in my opinion to fight and win a maritime conflict in this region, which this episode discusses. This episode is financially supported by the book Tanker Pilot, found in all four formats; hardback, softback, Kindle, and Audible on Amazon. The Hardback, Kindle and Audible formats contain the 32 pictures in color, the softback in black and white. Tanker Pilot gives readers a behind the scenes look at global air refueling and air operations in four wars. The Lessons from the Cockpit show is sponsored by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. Wall Pilot creates profile views of famous aircraft, printed on vinyl in four, six, and eight foot lengths you can peel off and stick to any flat surface. Wall Pilot can also create custom graphics of your favorite airplanes with your name, tail codes and numbers, and cool weapons loads.

We did a thirty foot long profile for one customer and his hanger! US and Coalition forces recently struck Houthi targets in Yemen. The Navy aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has four F-18 Super Hornet squadrons in its air wing. This F-18F Super Hornet from VFA-103 represents the 22 Super Hornets involved in the air strikes in Yemen. The strike packages were supported with electronic intelligence by the RC-135 Rivet Joint signals collection and intelligence aircraft of the US Air Force. This print is an RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft assigned to the 343rd Reconnaissance Squadron of the 55th Reconnaissance Wing, Offutt Air Force base Nebraska. F-15E Strike Eagles from Royal Air Force Lakenheath England have deployed to the region when Iran tried to close down shipping going through the Straight of Hormuz. This F-15E Strike Eagle from the 494th Fighter Squadron is configured for the Maritime Air Support or MAS mission to interdict and destroy enemy surface ships using Laser and GPS guided weapons. The Panthers Strike Eagles carried the AN-ASQ-236 Dragon Eye pod on the centerline as this graphic depicts. Unmanned and remotely piloted vehicles have played a huge role in the Horn of Africa, combating terrorism and piracy on the high seas. This MQ-9 Reaper drone armed with GBU-12 500 pound laser-guided bombs and AGM-114 Hellfire missiles is assigned to the 867th Attack Squadron of the 432nd Wing based out of Creech Air Base north of Las Vegas Nevada. MQ-9 Reapers are the type of drones operating out of Djibouti and Chadbelli airports in the Horn of Africa.

Welcome to the seventy-third episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit Show! I am your host Mark Hasara, former KC-135 pilot and air war planner.   The US Air Force is replacing the EC-130H Compass Call with the Gulfstream G550 EA-37B, missioinized to perform the same electronic warfare missions and functions. This episode describes what some of those functions are and gives historical examples from air operations how electronic warfare dominated the battlefield... Israeli Air Force Operation Mole Cricket 19 and the Bekka Valley Turkey Shoot to the opening night of Operation Desert Storm and the takedown of Saddam's Integrated Air Defense System via PooBah's Party. This episode of the lessons from the Cockpit show is sponsored by the book Tanker Pilot, found in all four formats on Amazon: hardback, softback with black and white pictures, Kindle and Audible. The Kindle and Audile versions have an extra file with the thirty-two pictures which downloads with the book. Lessons from the Cockpit is also financially sponsored by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. Go by www.wallpilot.com and chose from 138 very detailed Ready-to-Print aircraft profiles printed on vinyl in four, six, and eight foot long images you can peel off and stick to any flat surface. Wall Pilot can create custom profiles of your favorite aircraft with your name, tail number and weapons load on aircraft from World War II to Fifth Gen fighters. In the electronic warfare arena, if commander's want to hard kill an Surface-to-Air Missile site they send in the Lockheed Martin F-16CJ Wild Weasel. This Viper Weasel is named BOB, the 35th Fighter Wing's flagship aircraft. The Crew Chief used a grease pencil to fill in the left sides of the eights to create BOB as it's tail number! The 55th Reconnaissance Wing from Offutt Air Force Base is the home of two RC-135W Rivet Joint electronic intelligence collection squadrons. This RC-135W flies with the 343rd Reconnaissance Squadron and plays a critical role in the exploitation of the electronic battlefield. General Dynamic EF-111A Raven was employed throughout Operation Desert Storm to jam Iraqi air defense early warning and acquisition radar system. This EF-111A Spark Vark as crew's called it flew with the 390th Electronic Combat Squadron Wild Boars during Desert Storm. It was based out of Mountain Home Air Force Base Idaho before being retired in May 1998. On their last combat deployment before retiring the airframes to the Boneyard, the LTV A-7E Corsair II flying off the USS John F Kennedy were part of PooBah's Party in taking down Saddam's SAMs in and around the Baghdad area. This A-7E belonged to the VA-72 Blue Hawks Squadron Skipper, Commander JR "Shooter" Saunders. The A-7E is armed with AGM-88 High Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles or HARMs. Thanks for taking the time to download and listen to this epidsode of the Lessons from the Cockpit Show!

Wednesday, December 14, 2022 - Jason Patrick is the historian for the 319th Reconnaissance Wing at the Grand Forks Air Force Base. We'll talk about its mission of operating the E/RQ-4B Global Hawk remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), in the intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance role as well as some history of the Grand Forks Air Base. ~~~ In the second half of our show we feature some of our most popular shorter segments, beginning with Tom Isern shares essays about the Great Plains, called “Plains Folk.” Here's his essay, “In Plains Sight.” ~~~ Another essayist who writes about rural life is Jessie Veeder of Watford City. Today she reflects on the power of music in an essay titled ““Mr. Tanner and singing along.” ~~~ Natural North Dakota comes to us from biologist Chuck Lura. Today he covers two topics: Rodents and the Winter Solstice. ~~~ Another nature feature is BirdNote. Today we hear about winged pirates. ~~~ And let's not forget one of our most popular features, Dakota Datebook, written by a team of writers and voiced by Merrill Piepkorn, Marie Offutt and Bill Thomas.

From Wikipedia: A native of The Bronx, New York, Tengesdal is a graduate from the University of New Haven with a Science Degree in electrical engineering. She was one of three women to make it through the program. After Officer Candidate School commissioning, she began a career as a Naval Aviator by flying the SH-60B Seahawk Helicopter at Naval Station Mayport, Florida. During that time, she deployed on two long cruises and multiple short cruises to the Middle East, South America and the Caribbean. After a three-year sea tour in helicopters, Colonel Tengesdal went on to become a T-34C and T-6A Instructor Pilot. After completing T-6A Instructor Training, she became one of four Navy T-6A Instructors to train Navy and Air Force students at Joint Student Undergraduate Pilot Training (JSUPT) at Moody Air Force Base, GA. Her former Navy flight instructor, Commander Ron Robinson, has said that Merryl David (maiden name) “was one of my best flight students, and it doesn’t surprise me that she’s doing so well.” Once she completed her Navy obligation, she continued her military career by transferring over to the Air Force to fly the Lockheed U-2S Dragon Lady at Beale Air Force Base in Northern California. Tengesdal was deployed to multiple locations in support of Operations OLIVE HARVEST, ENDURING FREEDOM, IRAQI FREEDOM and HORN OF AFRICA. While stationed at Beale AFB the first time, she held the positions of 9th Reconnaissance Wing (9th RW) Chief of Flight Safety and 9th Physiological Support Squadron Director of Operations. After her tour at Beale AFB, Tengesdal continued her career by becoming the Detachment Commander of Detachment 2 WR/ALC Palmdale, California where she was in charge of flight test and Program Depot Maintenance for the U-2S aircraft. Thereafter, Tengesdal worked at the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) J8 staff. As Chief of Studies and Assessments Branch, she was responsible for developing the Command’s position on capability gap assessment(s), development and integration for senior-level documents submitted to the Joint Staff. Colonel Tengesdal returned to Beale and held the positions of Deputy Operations Group Commander and Inspector General, 9th RW, Beale AFB, CA. Tengesdal’s final duty was as the Director of Inspections for The Inspector General (TIG) of the Air Force, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, Pentagon, Washington DC. The Inspections Directorate develops, revises, coordinates, and implements Air Force inspection policy, and provides oversight and reporting of inspection programs to TIG, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and Secretary of the Air Force on the readiness, economy, efficiency, compliance and state of discipline of the Air Force. Tengesdal is also the Executive Secretary of the Air Force Inspection System Council. In 2017, Tengesdal retired from Air Force as a Colonel.
