Fort Rucker in flames after Black Hawk Lives Matter protest

What began as a peaceful demonstration by Black Hawk pilots frustrated after years of being marginalized by Chinook pilots turned suddenly violent.

As crowds of aviators were shouting, "Justice for Igor Sikorsky!" a few broke away and began vandalizing CH-47s spray painting "Black Hawk Lives Matter!" on their fuselages. "That's when it all hit the fan," said an anonymous warrant officer who was used to remaining anonymous. Suddenly offended by the presence of fixed-wing aircraft and any design that deviated from the main rotor/tail rotor configuration, the swelling mob descended on Fort Rucker's aviation museum toppling and burning anything with a propeller or more than one main rotor.

In an effort to deescalate the situation, the base commander, Lieutenant General Durkan, ordered military police to evacuate the museum until things cooled down. Almost immediately barricades were erected by angry Black Hawk pilots who began spray painting "AMPAB" and "F*** 31B" on the museum walls and displays that were still standing. Declaring the museum an independent country, the pilots called it the "Black Hawk Autonomous Landing Zone" and posted signs reading, "NO MP LZ." The name was then changed to the "Black Hawk Organized Protest" or BHOP for short. In an effort to show solidarity and understanding, Captain Carpenter who is an Apache pilot, joined the crowd but was shortly beaten into a coma.

Lieutenant King, a spokesman for the group of disaffected aviators, now demanded that all helicopters with non-Sikorsky configurations must be destroyed everywhere they are found. Noting that the Army was considering adopting a new generation of helicopters based on the Kamov design of two counter rotating main rotors and a pusher propeller, King called it, "...a slap in the face to Black Hawk pilots. It's a dog whistle to Chinook pilots that their aircraft are 'superior' to the Black Hawk. They're instruments of oppression." Ironically, half of King's flight time was logged in CH-47s.

Major General Sowell, a retired Huey pilot, called for calm explaining that there is no real reason for grievances among Black Hawk pilots, especially with all the technological advances that have been made since the end of the Vietnam War. Lieutenant King dismissed the criticism calling General Sowell an "Uncle Tom" who "doesn't get it."

Meanwhile, Brigadier General Cathy, a career CH-47 pilot, offered to shine the boots of a Black Hawk pilot and urged other CH-47 pilots to follow his example. His efforts were hampered when he realized that nobody in the army any longer wears boots that can be polished. Nevertheless, General Cathy maintained that his offer was sincere.

A few CH-47 pilots were photographed having linked arms and standing with downcast faces under a banner proclaiming, "SO ASHAMED" while other CH-47 pilots insensitively rolled their eyes and refused to get in the picture.

"This isn't ending," said Lieutenant King, "until everything that flies looks like a Black Hawk and every former Chinook driver buys us a beer whenever we walk into the officers' club."

What an insult to bomber and fighter pilots. Beware. There is a B-52 in your future. Vertically liftoff your way out of this one, wimps!
 

I was afraid it would come to this uprising at UCLA (the Ugly Corner of Lower Alabama)

Dammed Blackhawk drivers are going to ruin Ft. Rucker before they can even change the name so it's not honoring a confederate.

Before you know it, those filthy blackhawk drivers are going to want to sit at the same bar and order the same food as the Apache pilots.

There goes the neighborhood....
 

Of course they are not wearing BOOTS comrade!! Because we have ordered ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL to dawn BALLET SHOES until further notice!!!

Do THE DANCE BIOTCHES! UP AGAINST THE WALL!!! ... Or ELSE.
 

Way past time Chinook pilots were held accountable for their two-rotor privilege ... And lest we forget, Comrades, there are any number of would be POCs (Pilots of Color) at Fort Rucker who, thru no fault of their own, have no rotors AT ALL!!

All because a select group of (screw face into contemptuous hate mask) privileged white pilots DEMAND TWO!! ... When will this Rotor Racism be remedied!!!!!

Comrades!

I of course only support the 'two blade serenade'. There is nothing more 'equal' than 100's of pounds of steel (stalin) rotating at 324 RPM. No plastic blades that disintegrate upon hitting a dragonfly. Trees tremble at the sound of our mighty power. Your machines may be faster but force = mass x acceleration and when it hits the fan, the 'auto' is the best option left.

Who is the warlord of BHOP? Rapper Gomer Pyle?
 

On top of it all, the names like Chinook or Apache for helicopters are demeaning to Native Americans, implying that these peaceful nations had anything to do with war or ever resorted to brutal physical force in general.

As such these names are racist and need to be banned, and these helicopters ugly war machines destroyed.

Land-o-Lakes has already removed a Native-American woman (assuming she wasn't a transvestite) from its packaging, leaving beautiful nothingness in xer place.

It's high time U.S. Air Force did the same.
 

I like helicopters because if it gets too cold you can turn off the big overhead fan.

Ah, (by the way, lovely to see you Komrade GD) are we talking about THE Gomer Pyle of my early TV memories? Andy Griffith? The Gomer Pyle Show? If we are you just struck a cord you will probably wish you could stop.

A most notable Gomer Pyle, (whom is a most underestimated talent) singing and creating a memorable TV moment......long forgotten....



At this same time hooking up with the opposite sex was like this all over the place. Give it up baby, baby give it up, NA NA, NA NA NA NA NA NA NA, NA, GIVE IT UP, BABY GIVE IT UP.
Was this the feminist dream we were looking for?



BUT, and this is ONLY for my feminist counterparts, my MALE OR OTHER GENDERS Can Ignore, when a man with a very decent voice sings this to you, and he's very handsome, you're done. You're owned. No need to look any further.

Arnold's last name is racist. Rename Schwarzenegger!
 

Oopsie, perhaps I have been reminiscing about the wrong Gomer Pyle.

What say you Komrade GD?


 

'Yard Darts' as we used to affectionately call the UH-60 in the early/mid-eighties.....

One Chinook Crew Chief once made the comment (while our insides were being liquified by the constant jostling of the 'aircraft') that when one could no longer see hydraulic fluid leaking down the bulkhead, it was out. The CH-47 was the one aircraft I was more than happy to gather my belongings and leave mid-flight.

In case Gomer Pyle (i.e. Andy G) is overly busy susurrating sweet songs into your revolutionary soul (whereby you - for a jiff - skip your ballbusting duties, korrekt?), surely Barney Fife could stand in as Rapper Warlord of BHOP, no?

No, no, nope. Not Kubrick's tragicomic figure - that's Private "Pyle"!
 

With the usual time-delay, the BHOP thing obviously jumped the Big Pond. Reports show revolutionary comrades Black Hawks landing at Illesheim (Bavaria!) AAF, and immediately surrounding a kulakish Chinook. (no wonder the report abruptly ends, without comment!).


In other news, it appears the revolutionary furor extended even to our Solar System (possibly Galactic?). For now, our Moon is the declared enemy of The People Planets. Because... white!

The famous Dark Side of the Moon is fully ignored. In a Goeb-B-L-M-sian move, it is claimed to be merely a cosmetic decoy, just for show. Further, that wretch, the Moon, has close contacts to and profits from Earth's Space KKKapitalizm!

By now, Mars maneuvers to become the warlord of the Solar Hell Occupied Protest (SHOP). Interesting times we live in, Komrades...
 

I sense a debunking coming...

... force = mass x acceleration ...
Komrade Kissov - should there ever occur a need to perform Your Most Significant Duty, while focusing on CHOPpers and the like revolutionaries, here my humble proposal how to achieve that goal, and that in a sustainable, enviro-friendly and heat-avoiding way. (heat-avoiding: your Nagant, you see, would remain holstered!)

So, should the material you feel the necessity to work upon be CHOPpers & Co, then: Just tell them "I give you a foolproof method how to grab control, using force". And then present them that glorious formula of yours, force = mass x acceleration. Next, see those revoolooshunary pinheads brood, wilt, disintegrate...

In truth, Mars is worthy by virtue of being the Red Planet -- but stay! Is it red in the sense of the Red Star (good), or red in the sense of a Red State (evil)? Dear me, we must look into this with all dispatch.
 

The difference between a blackhawk and a Hoover vacume? The Hoover only needs one dirtbag.

How many Apache pilots does it take to change a light bulb?

NONE. Apache pilots aren't afraid of the dark

... Who spray painted "Natives for Black Hawk Lives" on one of the barricades?
Wasn't it one of them Blackfeet?
 

 

BELAY BLADED BIGOTRY!!

At first blush, doesn't seem like much of a rallying cry, Eh Komrade

But hark, consider all the Star Trek references and allusions .... "Belay that last bladed bigotry, Helmsman!" .... spoken to Hirabu Sulu who was forced to be returned to a life of a closeted gay man in the 23rd century; all because of a possible failure of revolutionary fervor in the 21st

Imagine a world where one may never openly say who he really is. Even worse, imagine if everyone thought your shipmate Chekhov was the one who was gay. What kind of hell would that be?
 

Difference between a blackhawk and a porcupine?

Porcupines have pricks on the outside...

(I still laugh at that one!)

Quite right, GD. The glorious REVELOOOOOUUUTION is upon us. Time to stop day dreaming and get to work.

So..........ALL HELICOPTERS MATTER.





However, Black Hawks have the best music video.
