Generally anything that is not American and within 10 miles is fair game :shock:

Hope they never let the pilot fly again :roll: :roll: :roll:

training to identify enemy targets and direct U.S. aircraft to fire on them.

 That just about says it all.

I liked this bit. " did suffer minor injuries "while exiting the vehicle in rough terrain," " I can just picture it now.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I rather liked the comment on the Aussie website. Along the lines of "Best thing you can do with a Suburban"  :lol:

The A10 tank buster pilot that blew up a british warrior in the gulf was given a job as a pilot training instructor!

Got to love the Yanks, if the bad guys don't get you, then they will!

I suppose if it had been a rangy or discovery they would have used a missile, blue on blue [-X

Back in the 80's A10s flying out of the US bases in Suffolk used The Wash as a gunnery range-  people in Hunstanton complained of 30mm gatling rounds hitting their houses, and they were 20 miles from the range!

Apparently it was caused by rounds bouncing off the sea; they fixed it by increasing their angle of attack from the usual 2 degrees to 3.

Good to know our allies across the pond are maintaining their high level of skills  :oops:

I rather liked the bit in one of Clarkson's books where he was writing about the B52.
He was saying that during the Vietnam conflict the BUFF crews were regularly bombing to within 300 yards of friendly forces. he followed that with something like, "Pity they lost the knack"

[brixworth-alan]

They've not lost the knack of 'within' 300 yards- it's the 'outside' bit they need to learn.

Smart Missiles to Retarded Bombs- the full spectrum of Military Intelligence.
