Oh Dude!

See our newest episode entitled... "Oh Dude!"

This was the text that accompanied the movie when it was sent to me....
This is an F16 doing CAS during the recent fighting
in Fallujah. As you know we have been bombing insurgent "safe
houses" with some sucess recently. This F16 was on such a mission, to hit a
house with an LGB, when 30+ insurgents left the building en masse to
hurry to a nearby engagement with US Marines which had been going on
for hours. The pilot communicates with an FAC either in the air or
on the ground, and changes the flight path of the bomb while it is in
the air. You can clearly see the "L" flashing in the MFD, and "TGP"
is selected.

I'm assuming that the bomb itself is probably a 500
pounder, as Mk84s would be overkill in an urban setting where the ROE
calls for minimal "collateral damage".

Has sound.
I have supplied the movie in both .wmv and .mov format. In this case the .wmv should be a better quality since the .mov is a conversion.

Out of curiosity, are you going to add a link to Justice Theatre to the top of the page with the other links?

I guess that it depends on whether or not you plan on making it a permanent part of TOL. And I saw the banner for the Justice Theatre, very nice.

I really can't say anything that hasn't already been said by everyone else... except aikido7. I don't agree with him.

Very cool. Now when do we get to see some ground action?
I'm not sure that footage of hand-to-hand combat has ever been released to the public, in any war.

Frankly, I don't think most folks could stomach it.

I mean, the Normandy scene in Saving Private Ryan was gory, but there's the understanding that it's only a movie.

I don't think the average Joe or Jane is ready to watch real human beings dying real deaths in a real war, up close and personal and in living color.

Of course, there's always the possibility that such a thing might be a ratings bonanza; reality shows are quite the rage these days...
