I hate you Kyle........[Coffee]
When was the last time an F-16 actually strafed anyone? I thought they just hung out at cruising altitude and dropped their LGBs from there?Quote:

I couldn't tell you an exact date, but I'm sure they've strafed plenty of people/things in the last couple years of Iraq. But yes, they do drop a lot of JDAMs and LGBs.Quote:

Sorry, bud. Maybe this will cheer you up. This is a video from Asskrackistan where I controlled several GBU-38 strikes from a 2 ship of F-15s on a downed Blackhawk that couldn't be recovered. The video is from a UAV, is sanitized, and is a compilation of the entire mission. Enjoy. [Coffee]Quote:

I'd rather have an AH-64 come in hot with their guns, but an Eagle or a Falcon is better than nothing. [Beer]Quote:
