We have unleashed the fury of our Air Force's best bombers which include the B52, B1 and B2. In the previous thread,
Pictures To Make You Feel Warm And Fuzzy: Part II, I have spotlighted the B52. There are also posts from some of you highlighting the B1 bomber on this thread as well as other great pictures. All of the other threads in this series are classic, must see pictures and commentary from the great people of FreeRepublic.
Feel free to post or link any pictures here. Since the bombing began today, I already feel much warmer and fuzzier just thinking of those 2,000 lb bombs exploding in Afghanistan.
ENJOY!

I like the first photograph, but sadly, my initial reaction was 'Boy, that bat sure was constipated!'

There is something that has always bothered me about that pic. Technically speaking, if one gets close enough to read the writing on a Stealth Aircraft, we're the ones that are sexually violated, not the other way around.
