Mount Weather tower busy due to SOU later this evening, 126.2/241.0/ EOC P25 system 981 East Site (1) TG's 1 and 2 (tower simulcasts)
CAP fighters assume A/C TDY Makos A/A 284.100. Guess the DC (Brave) and AC (Cosmic) Air Guard folks on Alert backup.

Very OT, butSeen pulse jets on film during WW-2 aka the V-1 buzz bomb.. yikes!
It does look like a A-10 with pulse jet engine
In a way, I' horrified, there has been a lot of talk about inexpensive drones and needing heavy ordinance.
Replicate Ordnance, Not Cheap Drones
General Prize Essay Contest—First Prize. Sponsored by Andrew and Barbara Taylor. Drones won’t offset China’s growing military, but more weapons could.
and I started thinking about something that is really inexpensive but very effective, the V-1 came to mind, with a slightly more effective guidance system, they could be very effective, like 5,000 could be made in a matter of months by just about any country (my opinion), then I thought about why should I give ideas like this to anyone and solve problems like this for them, apparently I didn't have to.
Others had already thought about it.
The simplicity of a pulse jet is the big deal,in
How to Build Your Own Pulse Jet Engine
Bellowing up to 140 decibels, a valveless pulse jet drastically accelerates the speed of bikes, scooters, skateboards and more. Here's how to make one from scratch in about 8 hours.
www.popularmechanics.com
gives a good idea of its simplicity.
researching further, it looks like the USAF is also interested in the idea.
Don't let the idea of small drones fool anyone though, when delivery of supplies in IRAQ was considered via unmanned helicopters , they initially wanted to use a small cheap helicopter (Robertson R-22?) for the purpose, then they figured out that a small cheap helicopter needed the same equipment as a heavy lift dedicated helicopter, so they went with that.
So I guess there's no holding back "progress"
It affects RR in that at some point we can also start 'listening' literally, to see what the power-plant is, and we need to know what were listening for (many of us can already identify aircraft by the sound).
Thanks

Joel ..Drones lead to counter drone weapons.. Lockheed working on high power microwave radar array that can smoke
drones in any local given area and Germany has this cool anti drone system Skynex. Awsome weapon.
Your right.. low cost drone swarms will be coming.
CAP tanker heard tonight is IGOR and usual 231.625 A/R boom freq.

Maryland still has Pax River,Andrews and Aberdeen for various Mil aircraft but no actual State run flying ANG aircraft?

Any idea if this will be a C-32 or VC-25 jaunt?
MdANG aviation types will need to move to DC, lol. Seriously though, many Reservists and NG members already cross state lines to get to their units, some traveling hundreds of miles for their weekend duties. Prince George's / JB Andrews is not that far out of the way for the those still wishing to fly / maintain aircraft. Also, there still will be ArNG helicopters at Edgewood.Air Force article on Maryland ANG A-10's. "leaving Maryland as the only state “that doesn’t fly,”
