1 jet down, 20,000 aerial strikes on Iran so far, and that 1 downed jet is all the traitor media will talk about.

Hopefully those involved get home safely…I can’t even begin to imagine the horror the pilot/pilots would have to face if captured

It’s war not a video game… (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) happens do you need to be given the definition of war ? Probably since diversity is our strength …

This will encourage the Iran terrorist to resist more. I’m not sure that’s possible. The hard core are born and bred to hate the west. They are already at maximum resistance.

I just checked and I don’t think they have found the second person yet. I hope he or she is not injured and able to avoid capture. Hard to believe with all the air power in the area if not one of the two or with many potential enemies around being the most obvious to me reason they have not been able to single search and rescue.. Probably thousands of others explanations these are the 3 a simple hillbilly can come up with. Fingers crosses we get them home safe soon.

Hopefully some friendly locals found em and are hiding the pilot. They’d have to keep real well hidden as everyone good and bad are looking for him/her. There’s good people everywhere.
Apparently the A10 was damaged over Iran during the search and the pilot made it back over to Kuwait before ejecting. Looks like a few more strikes may be required.

The pilot of the A10 is the 2nd pilot they got. But he ejected over Kuwait. It was kind of confusing at first when they said a second pilot was found.
Looks like the WSO is still missing.

Lots of unconfirmed reports that the WOS has been rescued. Major firefight occurred/occurring at his location.
Moosetrot Hope it's true but it appears all the reports come from one report made by an independent journalist named Jack Murphy.

The Presidents Truth Social Post: FROM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND! This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour, but was never truly alone because his Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow Warfighters were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue. At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation. This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND! The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies. This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around. We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!
Eh...wot?

It sounds like there is a special force of Marines that train for these type of rescues. They are the best of the best.
Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

Air Force PJ’s are absolutely specialists at extraction. This , however, would’ve been carried out by joint operations. Lot of moving parts to accomplish that.

I’m hearing that A-10s aka “ SANDY” were involved. The “SANDY” A10s can trace their history back to A-1 Skyraiders that kept in contact with downed aircrews in Vietnam.
CIA was also instrumental in this. Put out false information to redirect attention.
“Complex operation “ is an understatement.

"After an F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down deep inside Iran, the United States launched a massive combat search-and-rescue operation that successfully recovered both airmen—but only after losing HC-130J rescue aircraft, helicopters, drones and an A-10 in what may be the costliest CSAR mission in modern history." "By the end of the mission, the United States had lost an F-15E Strike Eagle, at least two HC-130J Combat King II rescue aircraft, an MH-6 Little Bird helicopter (possibly two), one A-10 Thunderbolt II and possibly multiple MQ-9 Reaper drones, while two HH-60 rescue helicopters were damaged and several other aircraft reportedly declared emergencies." source

Knowing your country has your back and will come get you out and not say no to costly has to be a great feeling and add confidence. Now time for the tds crowd to turn this to a but that wouldn't happen if Trump didnt want the bad press. Maybe correct maybe not. I dont care I care our airmen got recovered alive. Out of all the crap the government wast money on spending on backing and rescuing our troops is something im 100% behind.

Last week there was reports coming out of plans to fly SF in,,,
Build runway,,,,, extract uranium,,, land transports,,,fly it out
Which would be incredibly stupid to release that kind of info,,,,if true??
This past weekend generals are being fired,, as pics of burnt out remains of transports and heli’s on a “abandoned” strip come out,,,
Flying transports in and rolling little birds out,, for the mountain rescue makes zero sense
Sorry, I’m not buying it,,,
They have special long range heli’s that can aerial refuel,,, designed for this exact rescue purposes
And I’m NOT in anyway knocking the military,,they are absolutely the best in the world
It would be very disappointing if they were actually that transparent
Let’s hope they aren’t,,, and I highly doubt they are
My guess is,,,,,,,
Something didn’t go according to the plan
Maybe someday we’ll find out,,,maybe not

Seems to make complete sense to me given the distances involved, the general elevation of the terrain, the tight spaces for maneuvering in those mountains, the heat during the day in that area, and the performance limitations of the various aircraft available. I do agree that something didn't go according to plan. That being the nose gear of the C-130's getting stuck in soft ground. I would also assume that the plan was to abandon the two AH/MH6 at the site regardless ... due to time constraints on the back end of the mission.

Aren’t you a pilot?
in higher elevations/thinner air, larger helicopters with larger rotor surface areas greatly outperform smaller machines in maneuverable and lift
Just watched the presser
Still not buying it
There’s no doubt a incredible military operation took place,,,
I just don’t believe the whole story
Yeah i am familiar with density altitude that's why i made reference to the elevations where the mission took place. The ah6 and mh6 climb about 25 % faster than the UH60 variants and are far more nimble. They weigh about one seventh what the uh 60 weighs and can operate at greater altitudes than the UH60. The rotor disk of the UH 60 is double the diameter of the disk on the AH/MH6. 27 feet compared to almost 54 feet. Much easier to maneuver in tight spaces. So different roles for different aircraft.. I was simply wondering why you would think they wouldn't transport the ah6 in to use onsite.

[/quote] Same reason they didn’t use them extracting the first pilot My scipitism comes from working out of Hughes 500’s in the mountains,,,,,They couldn’t carry very much But I have to admit that the modern military version’s are certainly more spicy foresure They have specific heli’s designed for long distance/high elevation recovery,,,,
