@t1pnr1ng The baseline for hotpad scrambles is still 5 minutes, but the DM line is further out (the 25 mile line) so they got a little time to kick the birds up. I noticed that these Eagles did NOT have FAST pack fuel cells on them, marking them as homeland defense units and not the ones that go on Bear Hunts.

@FrozenMinnesotan I was there in 84-85. When Sembach shut down their OV10 operation, they moved me to Bitburg to finish my tour. Was you uncle in weapons loading?

@t1pnr1ng When exactly were you stationed at Bitburg? My uncle was there from 83-87, I bet you probably know him!

Meinfurer2, when I was at BT in the mid 80s, our Zulu jets were had 5 minutes to be in the air, after the Klaxon blew. My guess is that the current threat in North America doesn't require that sort of response.

Look at he Bitberg alert video on you tube and look at this one today ! The Americans have gotten sloppy ~!

pg1171 What r u talking about dated. they continue to update the avionics and engines in this plane. Also, they have shot down many aircraft a lot newer than it. The fact remains that it is a great platform that is constantly updated so that it can still (easily in some cases)compete and win against modern aircraft.
