Abu Dhabi, UAE, Albania, Greece, Germany & Qatar have turned out to be good friends. They have emptied their college dorms, officer training apartments to house refugees. Even South Korea is taking people but you really have to be real aware of where the North border is [green dashed line & blue solid]. We've added teams at all refugee locations looking for permanent Countries & homes. The kids start smiling again after about 3 days. They are so tired when they board in Afghanistan that they don't make eye contact. Last trip had 44 babies & toddlers, not a peep on a 3 hr flight. The taliban asked not to evac professional people or pilots. Not sure what they need pilots for.

If you are in Incheon, I suggest putting a waypoint marker for the border. If you dont, just do it visually. When you see terrain with no lights, thats where North Korea starts. Get scared when you see red flare... start praying when that red flare seems to be flying at more than mach 1 towards you. Other than that, enjoy the chicken and the bone soup.

RDAF C-130 & a UAE C-17 depending on manifest we can put together from our target lists. We've used a few commercial aircraft but unless it has a defense system we can't use them anymore in Afghanistan but work great outside to redistribute bodies to their permanent homes after quarantine.

Well, wow but that's going to require alittle more explanation..... you're flying for two different air forces and two different tac aircraft......??

Congress Vows Probe of Afghanistan Withdrawal

WASHINGTON (Reuters)—Members of the U.S. Congress, including many of President Joe Biden's fellow Democrats, said on Tuesday they were increasingly frustrated with events in Afghanistan, and they vowed to investigate what went wrong.

"The events of recent days have been the culmination of a series of mistakes made by Republican and Democratic administrations over the past 20 years," Senator Bob Menendez, Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement.

Menendez said his committee would hold a hearing on U.S. policy toward Afghanistan, including negotiations between former Republican President Donald Trump's administration and the Taliban and the Biden's administration's execution of the withdrawal.

The date of the hearing was not immediately announced.

Seems fine to me. Feminists are anti-patriarchy, but governments/borders/nation-states/laws are patriarchic inventions.

UAE is being very generous with their C-17s, their crews, their in Country facilities, their avgas, humanitarian aid, cash & medical personnel. The taliban are allowing only certain Flag aircraft to operate in/out of their airports. [changes daily]. The Hercs & Moose pretty much are the same aircraft regardless of the roundel & Flag on the tail. Course if you break em you bought em. Radar is still out @ KBL but good @ Khost & Kandahar.

 

[FLYNAVY]

Humanitarian aid, medicine, vaccines, food [& a very little cash] is being allowed into 4 Afghan airports. All humanitarian flights are met by representatives of the taliban who pick thru the pallets & load what they want personally into their white Toyota Highlanders & leave. In the case of KBL then we quietly taxi over to the Ramp 9 hanger, do some maintenance & loadout collected vacationing passengers on the deadhead trip to pick up more aid to bring back. Wink, wink, nod, nod. Sure they're onto this system, even the media is playing along I think. We'll ride this pony as long as we can. Interesting convo with some lawyers this morning on potential lawsuits. People held against their will can sue the taliban & most likely win in the Hague. Course the taliban so far have no money & unless the US screws up & recognizes them as the legitimate gov't of Afghanistan the cases should expedite thru. MAS is not on the approved airport manifest yet, not sure why, but US State is working on it. UAE is willing to get involved & have a few citizens there.

It's my turn to hose out the vomit in back so we're gonna do a little detour over the HK, looks like a bad one. Get breakfast ready, we're uber hungry.

So the Danish Air Force allows cross qualification between the two aircraft? Or did you get the training for the C17s in the UAE?

The US is already recognizing the Taliban simply by negotiating with them and now working with them.

Well, where I come from, we say the whole picture matters...
It's one thing what the Taliban are doing in Kabul, it's another thing the environment that allows them to do it...

Here's the US government's misinformation...
The Biden's now want to fight the plague (ISIS) with forest fire (Taliban), so they would sacrifice everything.
Syria reload, I think early next year max...

Then either the fire or the plague will reach us..

With the small force the RDAF has, life is a lot easier to have quals on multiple aircraft, even between fixed wings & rotary. It makes putting together mission packages a lot easier & you get pay bumps for additional current qualifications.
Not up completely with International Law but not sure if negotiating means you have legally recognized an entity as the lawful government of a Country. Hope not anyway.
****Qatari buses are transporting British, American, Ukrainian tired folks & a few other nationalities from Mazar Airport to Kabul Airport & will leave on a Qatari C-17 to Doha. The trip overland is scheduled to take about 8 hours. Please say a prayer for their safe travels. That whole operation in Mazar has a whole lot of stink on it.****
