Iraqi Freedom images from August
I spent some time with the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing in August, as the article has been published in a aviation mag I thought I would post a few shots that didn't make it into the article.
335th FS from Seymour Johnson.
31 Squadron
VAQ-209
115 FW/Wisconsin ANG
23rd FS from Spangdahlem
763rd ERS

Neil

I'm not sure. From the pic I was guessing that it was either the AIM 9 pylon or the whole thing.
Remember my background is Avionics G/C on Aussie Hercs. The most offensive piece of kit they had was the Elsan dunny down the back.

It's the BOL launcher rail - basically just a Sidewinder/ASRAAM launcher rail with integrated chaff dispenser. The bulged nose contains the nitrogen bottle for cooling the seeker head of the missiles.
