I was LMAO when I saw this clip. Capt. Teo's wife is dressed in a full pink parka, with gloves INDOORS in the officer's mess, playing fussball with her son. Wah so cold inside the mess, meh? Maybe USAF did not pay heating bills. Well it will be a miserable 2 years for her if she is already freezing her ass off indoors. :-)

I will be worry if they fly more than 8 hrs a week. For every 1 hrs our mighty F15s fly to the sky, it costs more than $30000 on fuel, maintenance, allowances etc..

The F15s are 2 seaters, so every time they fly, its the equivalent of 2 pilots getting their hours. Anyway, about 150 hours a year is standard.

How come those ground crews wear like Ninjas or like NAVY ops room?

March beri cold? Sinkapoh cannot tahan cold how to live in angmo countries?

March in Idaho is very cold. Could be worse, they could be in Elmendorf, Alaska. The Capt. interviewed kept saying it was so great they can fly over land.
