Operation Swarmer

(If this is posted anywhere else, i apologize.)

Operation Swarmer was only a few days ago. It was the largest Air

Assualt since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. It involved 1,500

Troops, half of them Iraqi Troops, but also involved the 101st Airborne

Division.

The Operation Lasted 4 days and even freed the Peacemaker hostages.

I remember when I was there and we did this massive air assault and they told us it was the largest done and now this one put ours to shame. I flew about 4 times into the LZ just with my aircraft and we had a bunch more Blackhawks and Chinooks also.

Good work guys!

Where have you been for the last several months. Horse has been telling people this over and over. If you would come on more than just to change your siggy and read the posts, you would have known this was happening.

It is a beautiful site to see though. I wish there had been some footage of us flying our air assaults so that I could post them.

Well Alder, I have been very busy lately with Junior High and Tests. Also, I just didn't have the time to get on. The only reason i changed my siggy two days ago waas because I had for 3 months.
