For those that believe that Iran is a pushover in Military Air

Cheyanne mountain is very vulnerable to nuclear weapons. It was designed to RESIST near misses from Soviet city busters with CPEs of miles. A direct hit would turn Cheyanne Mountain into a lake. I've seen it when I was stationed at Fort Carson when we provided the quick reaction force to defend it.

The Russian ICBMs aren't very accurate. Even if they are aiming at it, it may be out of the blast area and it will.
anywhere from 150 meters (barely in the blast are) and 1400 meters. If you missed a hardened site by a mile, you missed. It this case it would be half to a little over a mile. That's what makes Cheyanne Mountain work. You need a direct hit with some heat on the ball.

BTW. I was stationed at Peterson
Field.
Check, yer it.

The proper term is "tag, yer it", commie liar.

I was at Fort Carson. We provided the alert reaction force. One company fully armed and equipped round the clock. Five-minute rollout capability.

So what. Now get back into the discussion instead of spreading gas.

What do locals stationed there call Peterson Field, and where do the pilots do their attack training? Also, what non-Air Force officers fly out of Peterson AFB for training? Answer those three questions and I might believe you actually served there.
 
No, you are just a liar who doesn't know what you're talking about.

I spent a bit of time serving in the SAC Nuclear Huts. That means I know something about the construction of Nukes.
And before I went into the service I worked for GJ Pipe and construction welding those infernal aluminum pipes. I had all the information but didn't put it all together until Iran Nukes became an issue. What you got is a MAGAt pile of crap.

Unless they are attending the Academy. there are very few non pilots flying there. Of course, they are issued their wings just before Graduation. So, they might be a couple there to earn
those wings. Of course, I served there when the fighting trainers were F-33s for the fighter training, the Jump bird was an L ( forget the rest of number) and the Nav Training was done by C-19s and C-133s. The General had two birds. One was the one he was suppost to fly in, a C-140, and the other was the one he actually used until it was scrapped, the C-118.

As to where they were flying those training missions, it was never revealed to me and I never asked.

It's now called Peterson AFB or, Peterson Space Force Base. What we called was just Pete Field. And thank you for you Animals from FT Hood to fouling the Springs us for the rest of us. I see you haven't changed.

Even Sineva missile never missed more than seven meters from the targeting point. Oreshnik's hitting target with 1 meter accuracy.

The Army opened Fort Carson and Peterson Field about the same time. The Air force used our bombardment ranges for their training missions.

You must have been there in the Stone Age if old shakeys were operating.

Sounds good to me, Comrade. You keep telling this old SAC Player that.

You aren't even aware what an old Shakey was? I was told at the start of my Prop Tech School to disregard the parts about the C-124 old Shakey (that's the Globemaster II NOT the C-118 which was a dolled up C-54) because all had been retired. I was stationed at Pete Field working on C-130Es when I got an immediate order to report to Elmendorf, AFB in Alaska because a person with my similar background flew his light plane into Mount Mackinlay. I had a year on "Antique" Airplanes in Ubon RTAB. To be specific, the AC-130A. What was there were about 20 DC-130As. Along with 3 VIP C-118s and 2 C-124As. Interesting time relearning Physics.

To give you an idea. I was on my 3rd AFSC (MOS to you) when I retired in 1990. I can talk about some WWII Aircraft., the real problems of the F-15A and the F-16A. the A1-E. F-4E (slatted) and the T-33. T-37 and the T-38 and more.

Long Live the Nickname for Elmendorf AFB (the home of the Antique Air Force ((AAF))
