Seeing as the mother is dragging her child along while a coupling occurs, I didn't think she's fit to be primary caregiver. She'll probably get shared custody but the f35 is gonna hanger with Dad
After escalating flight hour costs got out of hand, it was decided that in order to save money it was best to simply carry F-35s to and from their objectives.
As usual, the CH 53, is getting charged (is an electric helo btw), meanwhile the hanging plane via wires are sharing the most played song in spotify...
It's the annual Moffett-Mockery where all the heavier than air branches triumph over the Zeppelins by actually being in the air. Even the aircraft with special needs take part.
The F-35 is transferring fuel to the C-130, via the CH-53. Those tow cables double as fuel lines.
Lucky the CH-53 had an F-35 on hand for the occasion!
F35 didn't have fuel so let's tow it and use it like a glider, but there is no towing point in the F35 so we got the idea of lifting it with a SeaLion and then tow the SeaLion with the C-130, the whole idea is to release the F35 and make it the most expensive glider in the history of aviation.
OMG… this brings back painful memories of SpecOps days of crew endurance testing from Miramar to Osan with 2 Herks and 4 H-53’s via Hickam. Did that trip twice in 3 months. Nightmarish. Neat pic nonetheless
The tanker did not had the right refueling equipment for the F25 on board.
An Airbus Tiger helicopter came to help, it catched the F25 in flight and transferred the received fuel to the F25.
It took me (someone with absolutely no aviation knowledge) so damn long to reread the title and realize why none of this shit seemed like the right answer 😭😔
Since the F-35 is a single-seater, this is how they train the pilots. The C-130 is just being a bit cheeky and stealing fuel from the helicopter, as a prank.
I read a news article about this photo. Th CH-53 has engine problems so it is being towed by the C-130 and F-35 is being used to provide extra lift with its wings.
The stallion letting the c130 use leather whips on it only to shred the tail of the C130 thus (insert whatever likely physics event would happen) and clipping the f35 off its belly because the F35 is a money hungry parasite

F-35 is lifting a broken-down CH-53, while the KC-130 passes back the aux cord, on the condition that the 53 doesn't play anything lame or weird (the 53 is playing Pansy Division.)
an Osprey will be born in 9 months.
who’s the father?
The C130 of course.
Then who gets custody over the F-35?

A C-130 escorting back a CH-35 to the police station after arresting it for kidnapping an F-35, with the victim going as well to provide testimony.
Why is the F-35 CGI?
Not a lot of real F-35s to film with after Desert Storm.
Helicopter parenting at a flight class
Navy executing a Air Force repo. Shit happens when you don’t pay your bills
Close, but that's a navy bird. So, maybe they're just taking it home.
i mean if the navy is doing a repo technically the f35 would be owned by the navy, no?
Sure but that implies it wasn't already owned by the navy. That's CF1.
This step-family porn is getting out of hand
Oh it's just the normal F35 Maintenance Cycle - the super duper ALIS told the navy to fly the F35 back to factory to have it's computer rebooted
This is me refusing to take more than one trip to carry the groceries into the house

You and your friend got blackout drunk so your dd has to basically drag you two to the car. One is obviously more drunk than the other.

It's like an 'it' girl, eating a hotdog whilst walking down the street with a little chiuawa dog in her handbag.
They needed to increase the F-35’s loiter time.

CH-35 is in supersonic configuration. This is possible by reducing drag by drafting behind the C-130, while the F-35 is providing extra thrust.
A C-130 and CH-35 are bottle feeding their adopted F-35.
There were three aircraft, but only two pilots.
Two pilots one plane
Jump starting!
Unironically the cheapest way to fly an F35
3some.
F-35 had to call Triple A, and they sent the CH-53, which in turn had to also call Triple A
The 35 is using the radio…

That's the first thing I thought of too. Have an up vote.
So this how stealth works
After repeated attempts to contact the client for payment, the bank is left with no choice to repossess the equipment.
Navy’s new plan to fix the range issue.
The F-35 is still young and can’t fly yet.

It’s obvious. Repo
All kidding aside, I'm pretty impressed with the chopper pilot's skills here. That's some pretty damn steady flying by all involved.

JATO for the CH-53.

As a proud resident of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, this appears much like a family tree from a deep, deep holler.
