USAF pilot here; training to fly the AC130U Spookie gunship right now.
You guys got me out of a tight spot in '06. My convoy got hit with 5 IED's simultaneously, totally destroyed a KBR truck, no other casualties though. It was pitch black except for the flames, and it must have been a busy night cuz we couldn't lock down any air cover for a good 15 minutes... Well when "Big Gun 7" dropped in on our channel and put that IR light on us from 12,000 feet... I can't even explain the feeling! It's nice when you got all that firepower backing your azz up on the ground!
I'm headed back over there for a short notice all expense paid trip to Tikrit, wish me luck!

I am in the Air Force. I am a Heavy Equipment Engineer / Combat Engineer for the 819th REDHORSE squadron in Great Falls, MT. I am currently in a country that sounds like "I rock" and should be home soon. I've been in for several years and seen many many things in many many places. When my term is up, it's time to go home and be happy as a civilian.
