Really late ejection. Doubt he made it.

yah, i dont think he lived. in the second picture, right above the middle lamppost, you can see that his chute is barley open. the plane, and most likely the pilot, hit the ground just a few seconds after this shot..  :pray

This guy had a lot of downward velocity compared to the 27.

jesus guys,   this one is a legal United Nations joint effort to help a country where civilians are getting killed by a dictator.

Surely there can only be positive comments towards the French for being first in for once.   :rolleyes:

Problem is that its a little late. I doubt it will do much good unless the UN puts boots on the ground. I doubt they have enough spine to do that (the UN not the French).

was wondering thew same thing  :pray

also: Another breaking news update from CNN: -- U.S., British ships fire 110 Tomahawk missiles on Libya, Pentagon says.

didn't realize we had that much firepower in the area


Well fixed IADS is gone after this.  I expect SA2/3/5 sites are down including EW.   Now problem with roaming Gekos...videos of them showed nice and new paint job.

Not sure where you were trying to go there but if you were making the implication that there was an illegal effort, let's not, OK?  :aok We can argue it for 100 pages, but it's not needed.

Amen. Two thumbs up to France for being at the front and having the sack to do the hard work first.  :salute

Anyone who thinks the French have no history of being among the bravest and having fought the hardest in the face of the worst odds has little knowledge of history... don't brand an entire people with the failings of a few in their government and leadership....

US just bombed the HELL out of those punks.

150 Cruise missiles preceeded by enough Mirages, Tornados and F-16s to annhilate their whole military just smacked Quadafi in the face.

I'm sure Quaddafi will be just fine.

It's the hundreds of thousands of people in his armed forces, with guns to their family's heads by that madman that will get smacked.

Unless they've dug up Ronnie Reagan and have put him back in charge... then we may be bombing old Quaddafi's house again!
