The North Korean Heroin smuggling boat 'Pong Su' was sunk this afternoon by 2 x 1 SQN F-111Cs.

Paveway III double tap. Took just under 8 Mins to disappear!!

I can imagine Kim Il-Jong (a la 'Team America) and his reaction: "Oh Australia, you're breaking my balls here, you're breaking my balls! I don't have any heroin OK?"

Just listen to the newsreader's accent. Sounds more North Korean than the guys in the green suits.

Effective management of drug trafficers, as has been stated what a pity the smugglers were not still aboard.

Did the ATO (Frag) really take over a year to get to the crew? - or did the environmentalists hold a year long sit-in at TGT location to determine that no fish would be harmed during the making of the film.

Someone on another site has suggested today that as most drugs come into Australia on major airline B747s if we used the same logic we should start to blow these up as well.

Now that would get BA's attention.

Navigators

antipodean alligator

I see that you are a navigator - obviously on F111s. I should say (although off thread) that the best advertisement I ever saw for the RAAF was "How would you like to tell a pilot where to go - become a navigator'.
