Neg Gunslinger. I'm stuck here babysitting these birds until we get a confirmation on when and where we are going.  Hopefully we are going to 4 day work weeks after our phase is complete.  In the meanwhile I'll be sitting around training folks.

Like I said... I don't necessarily believe it's a game image. I think it's computer generated.

The picture in the link doesn't state that it's a photo, but it does state that it's copyrighted. This in itself is odd. The Department of Defense does not copyright anything AFAIK.

I'm still searching for something definitive...

Call me a skeptic.

what sells me on the pic sandman is the pito tubes on the bottom fusalage below the cockpit....and the heat blume coming from the flares itself.


CG and 3d art can imitate this but they usually over look that and add some cheezy lensflare or lighting effect.....not taking into accout the 4000 degree (i'm guessing there) flares igniting within milisecons of eachothter

EDIT:

and the conformal fuel tanks.  Usualy u don't see those in art/games either.

Great pics!
Especially this one.

Why is the guy masked? Does he fear something? He might be from el-quaeda.
Anyway...pics like that makes me proud about my country.
Here is a pic from another REAL fearless soldier. She dont need to mask herself while having fun.

And this one you can make to your personal wallpaper.
Isnt it a 'beautyful' description whats about the word 'power'.

My prayers are with you.

hes got a point. to humble and extract information we should have don exactly what hussein and his cronies did. then the extreme lefty elements of the media, germany, and france would have had no problem with it. of course the guys being humiliated werent former torturers themselves in some cases. they were just average innocent iraqis. which is why there were riots all over iraq protesting their treatment. oh wait. there werent riots. there were iraqis laughing at how low some of the former oppressors had been laid.
