Military Laughs

Just here to help you remember the good old days

Embrace The Suck

[Lockheed C-130 Hercules @C130TheHerc]

The C-130 is the largest plane to land and takeoff from an aircraft carrier.

[Military Laughs @MilitaryLaughs]

Could you get your mask on and cleared in 9 seconds? Or did you struggle?

[Military Laughs @MilitaryLaughs]

@SGTWipper1Each Gone too soon.

[JayJosephVet @JayJosephVet]

Should be a question on the ASVAB

[Christopher Wipper @SGTWipper1Each]

Do you remember standing on these yellow footprints?

What thoughts were going through your head at the time?

[Military Laughs @MilitaryLaughs]

Did you ever have a complete weapons cleaning kit?

[Christopher Wipper @SGTWipper1Each]

Would you drink out of one of these today?

[Military Laughs @MilitaryLaughs]

What was the best way to get these to shine properly?

[Military Laughs @MilitaryLaughs]

How old were you when you joined the Military?

[Christopher Wipper @SGTWipper1Each]

Not many people reach this level of satisfaction in their lives.

[B-52 "BUFF" @BoeingB52BUFF]

How did the B-52 get its nickname, BUFF?

[B-52 "BUFF" @BoeingB52BUFF]

Despite being a 65+ year old airframe, only 5 B-52s have crashed since 1991. Although over 70 have been lost due to operational crashes and accidents over its lifespan, recent losses have been rare. Most of the losses were from combat or early-era incidents.

3 FEB 1991: Tail 59-2593 crashed into the Indian Ocean during Desert Storm when the crew encountered electrical and engine problems in flight.

24 JUN 1994: Tail 61-0026 crashed at Fairchild AFB during practice for an airshow. It stalled during a "go-around."

21 JUL 2008: Tail 60-0053 crashed on a flyby mission for Guam's Liberation Day parade. Improper stabilizer trim setting.

19 MAY 2016: Tail 60-0047 overran the end of the runway during an aborted takeoff, crashed and burned at Anderson AFB, Guam. Reported cause was birds ingested into the four right-side engines.

Then yesterday's incident.

There are a lot of questions, understandably, about yesterday's horrific loss. Time will reveal the cause.

Praying for the friends and families of the dearly departed.

[B-52 "BUFF" @BoeingB52BUFF]

After an intense day of severe thunderstorms, lightning strikes near the B-52 static display on August 5, 2020 at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

[B-52 "BUFF" @BoeingB52BUFF]

NOOOOOOOOOO!

There's literally nothing left...

B-52 just crashed shortly after takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base.

[B-52 "BUFF" @BoeingB52BUFF]

There’s really nothing like it.

[A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" @A10TheHog]

If the A-10 had a theme song, what would it be?

[Lockheed C-130 Hercules @C130TheHerc]

Is there anything the C-130 can't do?

[Christopher Wipper @SGTWipper1Each]

South Korea requires all able-bodied male citizens to perform mandatory military conscription by age 28.

Should the US do the same?

[Military Laughs @MilitaryLaughs]

In the Marines, you are a Rifleman first.

In the Army, you are a Janitor first.
