According to Fox the RC-135 and U2 flights will resume. The flights will stay in international airspace as before, but will NOT be escorted by fighter jets. The Pentagon doesn't want to establish precedent by having to protect our legal observation flights in international airspace. Fighters will be on standby in Japan, and was observed previously, F-117A fighters have been sent to SKorea for coordination practice with the current wargames.
How would you like to be the crew assigned to be the next guinea pigs precedent-establishing crew? I understand why they're doing this, but it doesn't make it taste better, and they better have the Hammer of God ready if those NK bastards harm this plane or crew. Fly safely people, and if a NK fighter tips his wings? F&^K 'EM. |
