DWCAce 19 Posted October 9, 2008 Most of the pics I've seen so far are all HUD tapes from the A-10. Keep you head down, take care of your self and your buddies. If it get's hot, call these guys, they'll give ya some close support :) FYI, one of my friends recently finished his second A-10 rotation through Bagram. Hopefully you didn't need to see their skills in action, but if ya did, I'm sure they put on a good show! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Brain32 265 Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Well when I wrote I remembered one video I saw of US Convoy stopping by near some kind of field, then you hear: OMG man look at this!!! Camera turns around and WHAM, as long as you can see a field of good ol' weed, about 1-1,5m high LOL EDIT: Thruth be told I'm not sure if that was Afganistan or Iraq...

+EricJ 4,245 Posted October 10, 2008 Gr.Viper: Yes it is a beautiful country, alot of stuff you see or haven't seen is just amazing. I got a really beautiful sunset picture that I'll put up in a sec. dwcace: Generally I'm starting to rotate with my FSO as far as patrolling, which is why pictures are showing up late in the game. And most of the time I have a "Rover" style feed, so I've seen some live footage of bombs from A-10s, and F-15Es. I've worked with them directly a couple times, but so far I've never controlled a live drop, it's relatively quiet in my sector and usually they boogie like cockroaches when any sort of air (CAS, CCA) shows up, but sometimes you get a treat, like an HVI drop I watched. Silverbolt: Yeah it could be Afghanistan, opium is common, along with cornfields. And overall thanks, and will always try to keep my head down.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+EricJ 4,245 Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks, and no Nesher, I'm not on R&R, we got satellite internet so I'm able to post while deployed. I don't go out as much as the others so (my position keeps me in the TOC) I got some more free time, while some others buy their own internet. Providers are Iran and China, so no, I'll stick to the Guvmint computers. And ravenclaw..... I'm assuming that's around Kabul? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
