I would have peed myself if I saw that happen. The only thing better would have been the minivan blowing up. I guess that ole trip over the border for fireworks wont be happening next year.
Might be Farce today. Spent over 20 years in USAF. Sadly nothing like it today. It was B-52's out of Diego Garcia that lit up Saddam Hussein.
Isn’t Diego Garcia that weird island base in the absolute middle of nowhere Indian Ocean?
Maybe these are the prototype flying cars the FAA is allowing further testing on?

Along with some from Barksdale. Also there were some F117, F16, F4,F15, F18 and F111's that helped out.
B-52's did first High level bombing. The Iraqis were firing anti-aircraft guns straight up in the air. Most of my Military buddies picked what time the Party would start with about 60 minutes.
The FAC's would tell you it was the 117's that hit first while some say it was the cruise missiles. I'm going with the Weasels first strike taking out the SAM sites. All I know is that our jets launched at 0 dark 30 and it went on for hours. Everything was airborn that night.
The news picked up on the air war start by a large Dominoes order from the Pentagon or so the story goes.
IQ Builder Operation Desert Storm B-‐52 Specific

B-‐52s aircrews flew 1,741 missions for 15,269 combat hours and dropped 27,000 tons of munitions, which amounted to 30 percent of the overall Gulf War tonnage.
Nobody said they didn't. But there are missions that go in first to take out the SAMs and AAA. There were RF-4s from the Reno Guard going in first too to take pictures for targeting for the air-to-mud folks.
Nah, I got out in '81, but my old F4 Squadron was there...flying F15s.
II got out in 87 from SAC HQ. We changed all focus to Middle East after Iranian Hostage situation. We had some of our Officers captured.
Imagine going to bed with the one on the left and waking up with the one on the right.
Insane motorcycle chase in Sao Paulo.
That's nuts. Like a Jason Bourne movie going down the stairs through small alleys at the 8 minute 25 second mark
I would've called him out for running outside of the baselines but still....
