If they're that good, how about sending them to Syria to search for WMDs?
To: Libloather
Vipers as search planes? They've got to be kidding. What a desperate bunch of numb-nuts running the show.

"The three planes, equipped with infrared and sonar-scanning capacity"
I wonder if the Dutch ever figured out how to get that supersonic sonar working?
To: Libloather
I just don't see how three F16's can find a body from flight level. They must think we're all idiots and don't know any better. Modern day keystone cops.

They're probably just carrying the modernized LANTIRN pod, which includes a new FLIR system that is reported to be very sensitive.

Best they send 7,500 trained lobsters to interrogate Aruban crabs. They'd get a better answer, quicker.

I know what FLIR is. What is LANTIRN?

They must think we're all idiots and don't know any better.And to think of how much global warming will be caused from these jets just TAKING OFF! Crap - I'm gonna lose sleep tonight...

To: Chode
You can actually locate shallow graves with IR systems, provided that they are sensitive enough and there isn't too much overhead cover.

Don't be fooled. Three jets going door-to-door can be very effective.
Imagine one of these babys knocking on YOUR door.

How about a few F-16's of our own to patrol our southern border?

Yes I'm afraid she's been reduced to fish droppings at this point and time.

Interesting. Still, seems like longshot to find a body that has probably been cold for six weeks. The Dutch are trying (poorly) to save face.

Do you know who is paying for this entire search mission? I have a feeling that this missing teen is costing us big bucks. Who will pay the bill if she is found? And who will pay the bill if she is not found? I wish to know...
To: Lazamataz
Imagine one of these babys knocking on YOUR door.Hell, I'd run 'em off with my varmint guard .22!
