When you absolutely, positively need something killed, USAF, accept no substitutes.  :salute :rock

I heard from an inside source that the building was actually a pre-school for disabled children.

Makes it easier for the A-10 pilot, doesn't have to lead them so much.

Honestly TwentyFo, are you even American?  :huh
I honestly used to think you were a pretty cool person.

<ahem>  actually, if you want it killed with the 30mmGG then it is USAF-R.  we now return you to your regularly scheduled waste of company time.

I had the rare opportunity to see one of these bad boys do it's business on an Iraqi tank in the first Gulf War. I was a 13F (Forward Obsever) in the good ol' days and caused or witnessed a fair share of destruction, but never have I seen and have yet to see again anything dismantled so brutally.

We were told that the A-10 pilots had to see a shrink after sorties because of the up close and personal nature of their work. Don't know how true that was. Never had a chance to ask one.
