pawnman Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Loading bombs?? Relative safety???!!! There's a lot of problems I could have in an airplane that I'd be more than happy to deal with: just don't make me handle bombs. I'm raising a toast to your dad. Anyone that handles high explosives day in and day out is certainly earning their pay! Cheers. Like I said, REALATIVE safety. As far as I know, no one took a shot at him in his entire 23-year career, although we WERE at Rammstein when Bader Meinhoff (sp?) set off that bomb. I was only months old. He did have a good story about hearing a rolling noise, and looking up to see one of the bombs rolling down the ramp towards him. And another about the idle airman who was spinning the fuse on the back while escorting the bombs out to the plane.
HuggyU2 Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) Sure enough: Lt Col Driscoll was at Reno. Real great guy. Always upbeat. Oddly enough, just after this photo was taken, I went back to the Box I was hanging out in, and a gal is there with a shirt that says "baseops.net" on the front, and "UAV's Suck" on the back. It had picture of the Pred on it, but I'm hoping to see one made with an RQ-4. Edited September 26, 2007 by Huggyu2
