I mean in an era where the Internet watchers are tracking everything, isn’t this just “giving” your enemies massive amounts of Intel…


But probably a big tinfoil hat moment coming. Maybe rightly so!

Note the part about the AMC general telling his troops that they should expect war with China by 2025.

That’s more concerning than tail numbers .

PS. Not sure removing tail numbers does much against determined “trackers.” Camo patterns, dirt, wear patterns and even rivet patterns are like fingerprints.

One good detailed photo and every plane is different enough to be given a “fingerprint.”

But gives folks something to worry about, I guess. Some Contractor is getting a big repaint contract.

Some AF General will later become a VP at that contractor. Odds are some AF General is already a VP at that contractor.

That’s the bigger conspiracy… where are your tax dollars.
