You can go onto the FLT ops home page and it says CRAF has been activated. First time since 2002.

Looks like Biden is seeing the political fallout of not getting people out of Afghanistan and now pulling out all the stops. It will be interesting to see if the Taliban stops allowing people to exit until they are allowed access to gold and other funds held by the US that we are refusing to release.

To real question is: what kinds of "people" are we bringing out?

Loads now are very light on the AMCITS.

Theyre still being told that security can not be guaranteed to the airport.


Total clown show.

Probably all that we will use unless they elect to put a few "ancient" 330s into the mix. Perfect mission for the "expendable" aircraft. Wonder if the CRAF rotations come with 26 hour duty days like MAC/AMC love?? Gotta do something for that HFP/CZTE. Ohhhh riiiiiiggghhht. 🙄😁🤣🤣

Can you put JATO on a 767? I wouldn't do it for triple GS?
