Actually it was a Piper Cub with 2 lost African Missionarys.
The pilot deserves a posthumous medal. No way I’d agree to go up in a 440 knot, 50 year old aircraft in that environment.
And they know it was daffys plane , because it had a sign on the wings I guess. Our tankers our fuel, freeloaders don’t lead.
They're welcome to it.
Qaddafy is going to win this “war”, IMO. You can’t really count on the French for anything much more than perfume.
They showed him a family photo first. (His family was tied up and had a couple Klashnikovs pointed at them)
It was on a humanitarian mission to deliver baby formula as yesterday the US bombed the baby formula factory, with the babies in it.
I heard it was a "Wilga" with auto slingshots. ; )
Obviously Gadhafi's intelligence agency is still up and working.
Oh wait! I forgot. President Obama publically announced that we'd be leaving soon so that his poll numbers would not continue to drop so fast.
Most likely Obama's decicion to get involved with Libya was also to keep his poll numbers from dropping so fast.
Democrats will kill is they think their poll numbers will go up.
***The French are definitely taking the operational lead.****
If the FRENCH had allowed Reagan to fly our f-111s over French air space, instead of going around Spain, they would not have to be doing this right now.
I’m wondering how they got that guy to head up there.
“Hey LT, I have good news and bad news. The good news is, I know you’ve been asking for more flight time...”
It probably gave the French a good fight.
Wow! I am speechless!
Do the French have a plan for the ground war? It seems that they will need it at some point.
Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi challenged the allies’ no-fly zone for the first time today, sending up a warplane over the city of Misrata where it was quickly shot down by French fighter jets, a senior French military official said.
The plane launched by Gadhafi was a “galeb,” a single-engine military aircraft

Anyone else remember that MASH episode with an inept North Korean pilot known as “5 O’Clock Charlie”?
Sounds like he moved to Libya.
LOL. It said "Khadaffi's Plane" on the side.
Mass Libyan surrenders upon smelling the French soldiers.
