TIL that a balloon is an F-22's first air to air kill.

I'm sure some E-4 Airman kicked the tires and certified the jet mission-ready.

And another 500K for the Aim-9X they shot at it as the cherry on top. You know they had to use the F-22 for it's stealth capability and maneuverability against an unknown asset that looks like it has the ability to point it's nose at will.

When the F-22 was being flight tested it carried an addition to the nose for instrumentation. I'm sure those are still around somewhere, just seems like an opportunity missed to "poke some fun" at the Chinese....

I like how everyone is going nuts about this balloon while carrying literal spyware in their pocket.

I'm betting they had some upgraded software to test out and figured this would save them a target drone lol.

I read a past story of Canada trying to shoot down a balloon with a pair of F-18's but it didn't work out very well. Dunno if that affected the decision or not. https://www.businessinsider.com/runa...history-2023-2

Also replacing the 6 caps. Common for them to cause inconsistent speed. They're 50 years old... Single sided pcb and through hole, should be a lot easier than the smd caps I just replaced on one of my squeezeboxes to fix it's analog output section.
