We did that with the Growler too, years ago. In a weird turn of events, I now teach them to use that new radar and AMRAAM. We're maybe not as hard up about it as you think

I refuse to ever click on his YT channel again, but I assume it’s something along the lines of “old man yells at cloud”, with “deep intel” thrown in for clickbait. Oh, and something about the F-14, because that generation of aircrew will never move on.
That about right?
Am in the same line of thinking, except how the F-14 could have done it much better.I refuse to ever click on his YT channel again, but I assume it’s something along the lines of “old man yells at cloud”, with “deep intel” thrown in for clickbait.

Put me in the camp of "Not an Ace" since drones/cruise missiles can't shoot back, but by all means paint that shit on the side of your Harrier and give my man a **DFC (knocked down to a silver star since the USMC hates awards).
**Edit: Silver Star greater than a DFC apparently. FUBIJAR.

Seems like the right compromise
Wouldn’t a Silver Star be an “upgrade” from a DFC? Maybe give him a clean DFC (no “V”), but a Silver Star is a pure valor award and the DFC (lower precedence) can be given for aerial achievement. If Mother Green hates gongs maybe give him a clean BS or better yet…a Meritorious Service Medal!
I think Air & Space just found it's AV-8B.
Maybe a new callsign for Earl too...
Neo or Morpheus?
John or Sarah Connor?
Queen Bee (drone killer)?
People fly Harriers still? Weird.
Glad I wasn't the only one who didn't realize this..
/sarcasm
Guess I was the only one after all
