Afghan light relief
Sorry to all those fiercely serious types, but how about a light relief-type thread regarding some of the finer items to have emerged from the newspaper/magazine and TV coverage of the current crisis?
Here are just a few of the howlers which I have enjoyed so far:
The B-52 is a stealth bomber and 'scours' for targets.
The Canberra is a turboprop.
The Predator flies at 60,000ft with an accompanying fighter (nice one, Frankie).
The USAF is flying EF-111s and F-4 Wild Weasels.
The RAF is flying Buccaneers.
The USAF flies an aircraft called the 'River Joint'.
USN fighters return to carriers with bombs - or S-3 Vikings land carrying drop tanks.
