Operation Midnight Hammer F-16 Pilots Grounded for Playing 'Dogfight' Games in Cockpit, WHO Approved This?
Oh, common sense, anyone? I'm fuming after reading this report about the "Operation Midnight Hammer F-16 pilots" getting suspended for fooling around mid-mission. These so-called heroes were apparently playing actual "dogfight" games on their tablets while flying combat patrols over the desert! My tax dollars paying for flight simulators and they're staging their own Top Gun fantasy league at 30,000 feet?
The article says they'd even bet lunch money on who could "lock on" to commercial airliners first. But wait, there's more—the squadron commander tried to cover it up as "team-building exercises." How about some common-sense discipline instead of medals? Let's ground the whole crew and send in pilots who remember this isn't a video game. Unbelievable.
