Dangerous Chinese military maneuvers

[DangerBird]

It starts getting interesting around 3:30, at 4:00 I instinctively dove behind the couch

Looks like the U.S. Marines to me, not the Chinese military.

I understand your position behind the couch. Sometimes a long lens can appear to compress depth making it look a little dicier than it is.

Looks like US Marines in Japan. Okinawa?

 

[ultracruiser41]

Looks like normal air ops to me.

MARINES!

[DangerBird]

After looking closer, those are the US Marines. Very Impressive flying

Mainland Japan, not Okinawa! Mountains in background behind airbase.

Love those Jarheads, got a good friend ex USMC pilot, they are the dogs bollocks.
(In Brit talk that means pretty darn good.)

 

[Tyger]

We're not allowed to call them "jarheads" anymore.
They commissioned a study, and it turns out you can actually put something into a jar.

...OK.

Bootnecks/Booties? Although that one really applies to UK Royal Marines due to the leather collars on the old uniforms, Leathernecks the US equivalent, DD’s, Gyrenes.
