Meet the B52 Stratofortress

This is the plane that made the Iraqis cower in fear. After the carpet bombing by our B52s, the Iraqi "soldiers" could not wait enough for the US ground forces to "liberate" them.

Was that not known as a hamburger bomb in Vietnam (no explanation needed).

Could have been....I have heard that they were used to clear helo landing zones in Vietnam. A few were dropped during Desert Storm aswell.

That would be cool nose art on a BUFF, "Lets Roll!"

BLU-82 was strapped down to a cargo pallet and rolled out the back of C-130, no other delivery system.

Which came first, the Backfire or the Lancer? The Space Shuttle or the Buran?

Let's not forget this little puppy:

Or better yet, maybe they'll recall what this babe did:

And lets hope they don't go begging for:

Backfire. Don't know about the Buran. It would have been closer had Carter not cancelled the B-1A. Anyway one more picture and something that goes with it.

For the A10 warm and fuzzy...

[Captainpaintball]

I don't know HOW you did it, but you not only made me feel warm and fuzzy, but MOIST, too! (That's just between you and me, OK?)

[spectr17]

Standing near a BUFF (B-52) takeoff, the first thing you'll notice is how low their wings droop, you think they are going to drag on the ground.

Next thing you quickly notice is how loud their engines are, only a KC-135 tanker is louder in my experience. Something to do with the water injection in the jet engine I think if my memory is right.

Sorry friend, can't help you with UNIX.

FRegards!

I found that one at this website.

Ping me when you get the nest thread up.

rm -rf /pub/bin/laden

Basically, it kills, nukes, deletes, annihilates, removes, does away with, blows away, nixes, makes go away, banishes, vaporizes, converts to dust, facilitates the ceasing to exist, leaves only memories of, makes go bye bye, everything in the /pub directory, and subdirectories, after the command is issued, without prejudice.

Very convenient and useful indeed, but not to be used lightly, as there is no way of recovery.

Yes! I like it!

[AmericanCheeseFood]

I wonder, is it legal for a man to marry a wonderfull machine such as that ?

If it isn't I want support for a bill to be placed in CONGRESS !

Cheese .

BUMP!

Here's another handy Unix treasure:

bin laden - pid 2859

kill 2859

However, the kill command is only a request for process id 2859 to kill itself. If uncooperative, the nifty -9 option can be invoked, whereby pid 2859 (bin laden) will be immediately killed by issuing:

kill -9 2859

At this time, process 2859 (bin laden) takes the infinite dirt nap.

Aint Unix grand?

These pictures made me feel warm and fuzzy, AND....... well, never mind, my husband might get jealous. ;-)

LOL - I wasn't thinking warm & fuzzy, I was thinking hot and bothered . . . . .

When I was a kid, my WWII Army aircorp vet dad always took us on driving vacations (ho hum, when you're a kid) - except he made sure we always went by SAC bases and such. I recall seeing B-52's on the ground and thinking they were some wicked looking planes. C-130's regularly fly missions over my home, and I tear up everytime I see them.

Last month, my family was on vacation and F-15's kept buzzing the lake we were fishing . . like Father like Daughter!

These threads sure do make me feel good!

Here are some more.

A greeting from us to them during the Gulf War.

And here is what happened to Baghdad.
