+ST0RM 145 Posted August 20, 2009 Never had a SAM shot at me, but did ask an F-15E pilot that was flying back on the rotator earlier this week. During the early part of OIF, the Iraqis launched several SA-2s at him. They were just ballistic shots, but still impressive to see (his words). Now, AAA, oh yea, that crap isn't fun. That shot of the Thud. What took it? Truly a rare shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fubar512 1,350 Posted August 20, 2009 That shot of the Thud. What took it? Truly a rare shot. I'd venture to say a camera mounted on the Fansong that was guiding the SA-2. I have another one of a ballistic SA-2 over Kep, where the sustainer had burned out. It almost appeared to be flying in formation with the AC that took it Both those images are from "First in, Last Out: Stories by the Wild Weasels" , which I'm currently reading. I'll post a review of it, as soon as I finish it. Though be warned, that damned book is as thick as the NYC Yellow Pages :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
