Looks like clownpro video, not gopro
Am I missing something? Or did they just document dripping only 2 250# bombs from 20,000 feet?
But the charm was the stealth. We toss that term around generically now, it was a huge deal then.
Years ago when Pease AFB was operational in New Hampshire, the FB111s would led take off right over I95 which was right at the end of the runway.
From the perspective of a guy on the ground for the PGW, the success of the F117 that first night really amped up the guys on the ground. We all understood that the difficulty of ground offensive would be driven by the relative success of the air war. The success of the F117 and TLAMs deep into Iraq in the first few…
You should have seen the formations over Saudi Arabia....looked like every friggin plane in the world.
Then again, the possibility of anyone seeing anything at Diego is <0.00
Anything over 50% guaranteed a shitload of freaked out Iraqis.
There was plenty to shoot at, no reason the air force budget couldnt help a bit.
As a Navy man, I can state clearly that was because the Air Force guys have to go home after work.
I was in the PG, my issue was an M1911 and an M16A1. Triangular stock and all.
Clearly an excellent call.
M14...longest serving rifle with one of the shortest periods as the standard issue rifle.
Hey, the other way to look at is the Iraqis screwed the occupation.
It was the missles.
That is a navigation skill on a ship too, hard enough to do moving at 30 Knots, real skill do do it at 5 times that speed!
Which meant someone had the job of breaking and entire crate of chelm lights while wearing nods to make sure they didn't screw it up.
There still was plenty of that. Kinda hard to pace count in a helo though.
Maybe for a 14 year old MREs were good. I hated those things!!
