I'm pretty sure it wasn't an SA-7 heat seeker though, or otherwise the RC-135 wouldn't see the associated SAM radar (they can't see heat seekers unless they are targetted themselves). I also recall Spirit 03 targetting Kuwait and it crashed along the coast, which is not real close to Khafji.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-54819685085272134102010-05-24T09:01:18.878-06:002010-05-24T09:01:18.878-06:00Anon: A fiend saw this photo and posted it on his...Anon: A fiend saw this photo and posted it on his blog, where I got into a pissing contest with some dweeb who'd played an AC-130 gunner in "Tour of Duty" or some other lame-ass game... and made a stupid comment about how cool it was to kill bad guys while knowing they "can't hurt you back." I put a link to <a href="http://www.specialoperations.com/Memorial/spirit.html" rel="nofollow">Spirit 03</a> and called him an idiot.

The RC-135 called out on guard "Active SAM! Active SAM!"<br /><br />Needless to say, the old bird never came home.<br /><br />Flares are nice, but with an SA-6, "you're gonna have a bad day." As the fighter pilot types are often quoted. In a garbage hauler with guns, you are going to die.<br /><br />But hell, I'd rather get zapped killing people, than to die of old age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-35269355506121892262010-05-21T12:09:34.382-06:002010-05-21T12:09:34.382-06:00Lou: I'm fond of sayin' I NEVER shop...

Finis.<br /><br />Matt: That IS a true friend.<br /><br />Dan: We're birds of a feather. I do most all of my "shopping" on the 'net as well. I put up a post in the way-back about halcyon days of yore when I actually did my grocery shopping on the 'net as well. But that was when I lived in the Bay Area Soviet Socialist Republic, or Former Happy Days, Part II.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-78563549283777713742010-05-20T16:22:24.521-06:002010-05-20T16:22:24.521-06:00Holy crap.

These days, except for groceries and such like, I do most of mine over the big Net.
