Correct, Beagle.
And I haven't seen anyone else here with any background in CSAR besides me, much less having actually flown escort and pickup cover when getting shot at. If so, we can trade war stories.
I have kept up with the bidness, andlast 40 years for I have had neighbors within two houses that have flown the helos or special 130's or parachuted into northern Iraq as a combat control troop that rode around with folks of the "northern alliance" or dropped one of the big bombs on Saddam's troops. Plus being with my unit and school orgs. So that's where I come from.
