"The Terrorists have won the toss and have elected to receive!" B-52 photo: Who created this?

Have you seen THIS photograph? Do you know WHO created it??

posted by ASA Vet on 9/28/2001

On Friday, September 28, nationally syndicated conservative talk host Hugh Hewitt described this photo on his radio show, citing FreeRepublic as his source, and giving credit to the post by ASA Vet in particular.

Since then, Hugh's webmistress, Lynne (the WebXena) has reported HUNDREDS of requests for a link to this photo, and has posted a link to a DIFFERENT FR THREAD, with an image posted by FReeper archy, on www.HughHewitt.com.

An earlier thread with this image was started by RaceBannon on 9/27/2001 at 12:30:59 PDT.

1 - Is there an EARLIER post of this image anywhere on Free Republic?

2 - Does anyone know who "Bob McCown" is?
(MOST images posted seem to have the name "Bob McCown" printed in the lower right-hand corner.)

3 - Who is the REAL creator of this masterpiece? (And, can you PROVE it?)

Thank you.

"Lots of great stuff at Registered's private site ..."

LOL -The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer.

Registered won't be too happy about that!

I was always kinda a Colorado fan: GO BUFFs! A full point extra credit if you can tell why b-52s are called BUFFs.

That was a B-2 stealth bomber.

This is the F-117

That's an actual photo of the tactical capabilities of the B-52H. Kinda scary.

Scary for the enemy. They've never seen anything like this and the day they do, they will never be that sorry again!!

Where are the Hound Dogs and the nukes, those all look like dumb bombs, with a couple of ALCM's for variety.

I've seen this picture at work (pentagon) for many years; many folks use this as their PC desktop wallpaper. The only change here is the text (which is great) and the origional background which is a series of buildings, hangers, water-tower, etc, which have been replaced here with the desert like sky. I'm sure this will replace many peoples PC wallpaper now! Good work whoever did it!

That looks like: "Spread double wing formation, full attack frontal play, on two. Go team!"

A full point extra credit if you can tell why b-52s are called BUFFs.

Actually, it's BUF (no second 'F'); it's an acronym for ''Big Ugly Fornicator'', more or less. The Air Force has been trying to sell the bowlderized ''Big Ugly Fat Fellow'' for over thirty years.

Air Force PR types are wusses.

but we should re-start production in record numbers.

That would be difficult since the last B-52 built came off the Wichita line in October of 1962.
