Show of force! - Aircraft of World War II

evangilder · 06-07-2005, 02:32 PM

This was a show of force in Mosul after some Americans had been
killed. It's shows some UH60's firing on a target illuminated by
a hand held laser, then attacked by a UH-60. That is the description given to me in the e-mail message I received.

How's that for a show of force.

evangilder · 06-07-2005, 03:00 PM

If that doesn't do it, I don't know what will!

A Spectre Gunship?

Kick Ass...

evangilder · 06-07-2005, 06:37 PM

I thought so too, Les! My first thought was "get some!". My second thought was "Les has to see this one!"

lesofprimus · 06-07-2005, 07:33 PM

Man, that sound u hear, that chainsaw sound, is music to my ears... I've been in some pretty deep ****, and when those minis go off.... Damn..

I got goosebumps thinking of it...

evangilder · 06-07-2005, 07:36 PM

Yep. It gave me the same thing. But I can tell you that was once one of the most beautiful sounds I could have heard when I did. Sucks to be on the receiving end, but when the fecal matter hits the rotating air circulator, that is the most beautiful music.

lesofprimus · 06-07-2005, 07:47 PM

Yup......

Heres something to get the old fluids pumping........

Nonskimmer · 06-07-2005, 08:23 PM

That's good combat footage.

evangilder · 06-07-2005, 08:46 PM

Wow! I am amazed that someone was actually shooting video at that point. Yep, I could feel the sweat coming on with that one. Whew!

lesofprimus · 06-07-2005, 09:37 PM

Hehe...

plan_D · 06-07-2005, 09:39 PM
