Cool. I like the scorpion. Are those for the f-16?

Yes, like the title says, all these are real F-16 squadrons.

P.S Tstorm, just thought I'd let you know. The 144th got a new tail marking... Check this one out:

Another thing: the 115th is not an operational squad. It's the new "red" squadron that will also operate helis and ground vehicles.

Except for that, excellent work!

True...
What I meant was that the 115th is an aggressor unit (that like I wrote use\going to use a lot more than just the F-16A/Bs), and not operational as the other ones... \:\)

Raid on the Sun : Inside Israel's Secret Campaign that Denied Saddam the Bomb

by Rodger Claire
isbn: 0767914252

This is a really great book! I give it:

I’d venture to say that any Falcon player will love it! It’s not that big, but its hard to put down!

Hey Slick, that books seems really nice...

Just one question mate... Does it include more photos from the raid (except for the famous one of the first 4 Falcons holding position on the runway)?

No pictures of the actual mission, but there is a group photo taken just before they took off which has never been released. The author interviewed all the living pilots and some of the mission planners and decision makers. He also watched the complete cockpit tapes of the strike. The book really does read like a Tom Clancy techno-thriller. I learned a lot about the mission and realized that what little I thought I knew was wrong.

Get it, best “impulse buy” I’ve done in a long time!
