Visited years ago while TDY to Wright-Pat. Neat place! Could spend hours there but only had 20 minutes.

Charlie I am glad Spectre is on our side that is one scary AC

Wright Pat's museum is great, was there a few times while stationed there. Another good Air Force museum is at Robins AFB.

Sgt John H. - I love the C130's period, great transports.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth I live close enough to Ft Bragg I hear and see them flying quite a bit! Have even seen a few training jumps! SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth

SPC Nancy Greene - I prefer flying in one of these over a commercial jet sis.

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth as soon as Space A is available, that’s how I plan to travel! In the meantime, I drive where I want to go! I haven’t felt safe on a commercial plane since 9/11 SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth

They must have some awesome technology and ballistic computers. The two pronounced dynamics of the battle consists of a moving plane and distance to the target. There can be many more inputs like wind speed, barometric pressure, humidity, heat and more to input into the ballistic computer.

I say this because our M1 Tanks are not designed for us to use Kentucky windage and eye-balling the target. The very cool ballistic computer in the tank gives us a ballistic solution that automatically adjusts the main gun and the M240. Now that I think about it. The plane most likely has Thermal Imaging capability. It can detect people quite easily due to heat signatures. I think that is why the small group of Taliban were not content sitting in their well hidden spot near the top of the mountain covered by trees when they heard the plane.
