Camel spiders are no Urban Legend although the ones in the pic are not as large as they appear due to good use of perspective. However all the stuff about them being aggressive and flesh sucking predators is just legend. The ones I saw were about a hand size. Big, but not fearsome.
The picture of the sand storm is real. That is part of the expat camp at Al Asad air base in Iraq. I have several other shots from diferent angles and can even show you my hooch in some of them. Definately NOT an urban legend.
How are ya? I'm HOME right now. :-)
Can you post some Eagle Eye?
Thanks for your service for our country!
God bless you Eagle Eye. :)
