Weasel_Keeper Forums Manager Hotshot Registered: 06/28/01 Posts: 9142 Loc: Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA	I just returned from a month long deployment to Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson AZ for two exercises. One was "Advanced Guard" which I can't talk about much, and one was a traditional "Snowbird" exercise where our A-10s fly with live ordinance. One thing I'll take away from Tucson is the awesome sunsets nearly every day. AGM-65G, 300lb live warhead, and under the belly one of two live 500lb Mk-82s. _________________________ "Cave Putorium!"

Great pics WK, do you have a 1920x1080 of the top one? _________________________ Antec 902 \| MSI GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR 3 1280MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

Cool stuff but I still like the DSU/33 and FMU 139 option better! _________________________ "Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.

LMAO Chris! That fence is the ONLY thing fragile on these beasts! Mace, I only have 1600 x 1200 pics. They were taken from my crappy little RCA SK-210M because it was smaller than my Canon Eos for traveling by C-130s. Paul, I haven't heard final words on a Hawgsmoke this year, but I'll be first to volunteer. Might as well put up a good show/fight since my base might be losing our A-10s. Be cool to hear "Ft Wayne's 122FW Blacksnakes won Hawgsmoke 2012...just before BRAC killed them." _________________________ "Cave Putorium!" SoWW #2485
