It's something about 1000 km long border,I remember standing in Iraq on the Iranian border looking into Iran back in 2004...
Can you remember where were you?

No I do not remember the exact location. There was a small US Army Camp there on the border. We had just flown a General out to the camp for a meeting being held there. I remember our helicopter getting a T/R Gear Box Chip Light, and we spent the whole day stuck there. As for what I was thinking? Damn, this is going to suck sleeping in the floor of my helicopter.

now, I'm pretty sure that it was not in Kurdistan.
Maybe central or southern border !!!
I don't know what to say ?
I am just glad that you survived that hell !!!
They've discharged me, cause I said I don't want to go to Iraq !!!
I've spent 10 month in prison, but it costs.
My picture taken at Hunter Field, Georgia when picking up a new B-17 G to deliver to the UK. The other is a shot of the "Greenhouse"

A few of me during my Army days. The first one was taken on the Hong Kong/China border. The one in ceremonial uniform was taken in Germany. We had a few suits and one fitted me, so I used to get called upon for ceremonial occasions! The one of me on top of a Land Rover was also taken in Germany in the 1970s. The last photo is of me and a US Army pal, taken in Riyadh just after the end of the first Gulf War in February 1991. Jeff and I had both served behind the Iron Curtain during the 1980s!

First photo was taken in the Spring of 1974 on the forward flight deck of the Kitty Hawk during a WestPAC cruise. Photo was to be a spoof referring to the gas lines in the states and the call to begin car pooling to conserve gas (Petrol). The Skipper thought it would get the squadron some PR in something like Stars and Stripes or Navy Times, during what was otherwise an uneventful cruise. (or at least was uneventful, after the Ship survived an engine room fire that killed 4 sailors) Aviator Skipper is standing on the left seat, NFO Command ECMO is in on the right. ECMO-3 is standing half-into his assigned right-rear seat, and that's me (ECMO-2) climbing up the ladder showing typical confusion about which side of the plane I am supposed to be on... Fifteen years later, in the Reserves, What happens after a long day (or night) chasing Russkie Subs in the Mid-Atlantic... Pilot can find his own way home, yawn...

Provided it's not classified, is this system still a go for 2025?
I see maintenance as being the biggest issue. The second biggest issue, reasonably speaking would probably be the display and comms system. If somebody knew what they were doing, they could make the "HUD" all go one color and render the operator effectively blind). While he could probably take off his helmet or flip the visor up, it would expose his face.
I figure, if some guy sitting in his underwear on an aviation forum can think of this -- there's gotta be at least a few hundred people way smarter than me who has thought of this.

Me on a field training exercise in our assembly area in Wasserlos, Germany in June 1963. Armed with an M-14 rifle, Randall Model 1 fighting knife, Walther PP pistol, & 2 grenades. We never knew whether an Alert was the real thing or not. We always responded to an Alert fully armed.

I see Lackland '89 - you missed my Uncle by a few years, then.
He was a TI for several years before transferring to Izmir, Turkey around 1986.

That reminds me of my basic training at Ft Knox, KY.They always pick the tallest guy in the company as the guideon bearer. Not a fun job!
