Attached are the photos of your bombs .. we actually got your message on two different types of bombs, a 750 and a 2000 pounder .. the pics you see are of the 2000 pounder (2000 pounder .. is that a bomb or rhyner's manhood) with a couple from the 750 ... anyway, I only have information on the 2000 pounder ... the pic you see is when it was inscribed on a Mk-82... this is an unguided munition .. it was later converted to a GBU-31 .. the GBU-31 is a guided munition .. the conversion is accomplished by putting components on to the iron bomb itself .. we do not have pictures of that or while it is on the plane as their are mission requirements and time constraints during this period ... However, here is the info for your bombing mission:
PLATFORM: F-16CJ
MUNITION: GBU-31 (2000 pound guided munition)
CALLSIGN: BLANC-11
TIME ON TARGET: 14 DEC 2001 2130(zulu); 1530 (CST)
TARGET: TROOPS IN THE OPEN
AREA OF TARGET: TORA BORA AREA; SOUTH OF JALALABAD
The 750 pounder is normally put on B52s and would have been transported to Diego Garcia .. I have no confirmation of whether it has been used yet. Hope one of the pics I sent can be used ... they look ok to me ...
A couple of the pics have an emblem from the Pennsylvania State Police ... they were the guys who investigated the air crash in Pennsylvania on Sep 11 .. we have some people here with ties to them .. so we try to put that emblem on bombs about to be dropped .. hope you don't mind if they piggy-backed.
