Air Force Wants to Move Fast on Boat Plane for Special Operators

24. Yes this is special ops.

That is why I cannot understand why it is not classified.

I know nothing about the Navy but for some reason have been watching WWII navy movies. Much more exciting than AF movies.

Growing up next to Naval bases, we loved the Navy. Better BXs, better uniforms, more interesting personalities than the AF. At least as kids that is what we thought.
We were stuck on small bases with not much to do.

Right no idea why the AF is doing this. And why this is not Navy or joint ops.

Another puzzlement is that we already can reach most places in the South China Sea within 24 hours. Heck, we could do that 60 years ago.

There are US AF bases in Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Guam, Korea, Philippines, etc.
I think from bases in Japan that we can even get to Beijing, Shanghai, and North Korea.

But it sounds like they want planes that will land on water.
Carry troops and equipment. And the AF is making it all public.

Maybe it is a threat to China, we can get to Beijing and Shanghai (the financial hub of China). We can land in the Yellow Sea and do recon work and drop off troops etc.

But we know the Navy has subs in the Yellow Sea, Trump let that cat out of the bag, the idiot. Has carriers and air power.

Right it sounds like some sort of internal political situation between Navy and AF.
Or some sort of US propaganda sending a message to Beijing.
