Good reminder, T28 My neighborhood rife with USAF and other spec ops folks. So guy across street dropped two of the big boys outta his Talon herc during Desert Storm. One night they even had poor radio traffic and had scheduled two of them and folks were talking about the "Blu's Brothers", yep one called Jake other Elwood. Gums sends.... Do you know what the BLUs were headed for, or is that still a secret? |
Salute!
The bombs are pulled out the ramp, and then go thru a release sequence from the parachute. The MOAB test I watched kept the chute on for a good while. Dunno about the original LZ prep version or the BLU-82 The ICBM test a long time ago shows the missile launch, but the big bombs just go down and boom. The MOAB has some guidance, but will have to check the details. My Talon herc driver has moved, but a newbie down the street might tell me. The Storm targets were Republican Guard along the front line when the Allies made the left around attack. He told me that they had dropped leaflets promising a big boom unless they moved. Our Spec Ops folks here have and use all kindsa planes and such. Hell, the guy two doors down jumped into 'stan after 9/11 and rode around on horseback working with the Northern Alliance. He was a "combat control" type, not a SEAL or Delta. Gums sends.... |
