As some of you may know I live right next to Whiteman AFB, home of the B2, in Missouri. A friend of mine is hosting this video but it may not be up for long as he has limited bandwidth, so don't stream it, do the "right click, save as..." instead.

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.
