We were back in Iraq for the second set
Killing every ****** thing that they parked in a revet
When I saw me close to 69 trucks parked in a row
I knew I shouldn't do it but I just could not say no
And I called up twenty mike-mike and I rolled in for the pass
Knowing my commander, he was goin' to chew my a$$
But this issue's black and white like a school bus full of nuns
And someone's gotta make the call
I'm going in for guns

We'll find out more as the investigation ensues.

Ok boys, it's all fun and games 'til someone loses an eye...Or is it after?

Know what this calls for? Remember "Slapshot"? Wink

I remember testing RFID a couple of years ago. I guess no one was awarded the contract. Should have strapped an ACMI pod to the roof rack!

ACMI pods are not used by pilots for information as they fly. They are used for debrief purposes and for Range Training Officers to see how an air battle is progressing real time. All players could/should have used the Link. Link 16 passes the useful information to the pilot and can easily be used by all players air to air and air to ground.

Oh... and some people are taking the comments on the board a little too seriously...as long as the guys were not killed or hurt (too bad) humor is good. Fighter pilot humor probably isn't as funny to everyone else as it is to us...although we're a damn funny bunch, just listen to the songs we sing.

Anyone see the pic of the Suburban yet? If the driver was in the driver seat, he's REAL lucky if he didnt get hurt.

If the pics are released then lets see them, however only if they are public info. Bet they won't be until after the AIB, which is a public report. I'm sure we would all appreciate the pics and then remember those were only training rounds. Had they been combat rounds we'd all be sending prayers to the guys families.

Ya I saw the one with the (Strawberry colored)Suburban on the trailer. I was expecting alot worse then it really was. Let the folks at ABDR have the Suburban for a couple of hours and it will be good as new..

I got this one in via Tom Wharton: Here is the result of that F-16 who mistook this SUV as a target vehicle at the Lakeside Range near Dugway (Utah test range).

Neither of the two Senior Airmen working in the area were killed, however, they did suffer wounds from fragmentation flying around the area.

They should have had those new tires that don't go flat!
