Quote of the Day
You can gave computer sights or anything you like, but I think you have to go to the enemy on the shortest distance, and knock him down from point-blank range. You'll get him from in close. At long distance, it's questionable.

7,000 Flying Hours
|
USAF #83165
F-16C Block 25
Was the first F-16 airframe to break 7,000 flight hours and a small commemorative decal was applied to the tail in 2008. This Viper also wears 15 various bomb markings and three gun strafe markings from a prior OIF deployment and hence was called 'Lethal Lady'. It was retired just a few months after reaching the 7,000 flight hours.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Cyrus (the Virus)"
68 FS intel officer who didn't really crash the PFPS mission planning computer while deployed to Kuwait but, who found out the MS Office suite was jacked up. He didn't know the pilots were aware that the Office suite was messed up and were going to get it fixed the next day. Intel dude thought he'd done something and unneccessarily "fessed" up since he thought he busted the mission planning computer. We had our naming ceremony for all the FNGs while we were deployed (dang! no booze or girly mags/movies!). We had all the un-named officers (pilots, intel, MX) submit their own call signs as a ruse. The intel dude submitted pro wrestling names. Of course, we intro'd his naming with female wrestler names instead of "The Rock" "Stone Cold" "Sting" etc. Then one of the pilots embellishes how the computer got jacked up cuz the intel dude must have the virus "touch"...hence "Cyrus the Virus"
