Here is the target. It's a pick-up truck with the driver-side door open. There are 3 people walking towards it.:

Great Movie, hey the Divx Software I downloaded to play the movie appeared to disable my Real Player software, any ideas on that.

It probably got designated as your "default" video player..........Go to Settings, Control Panel, Folder Options, click on the File Types tab, and you can specify which program you want to use for any file type, including .mpg files.

Thanks a bunch Vab for linking me to the video! All i can say is wow!

I honestly believe if i were a turban-wearing koran-thumping kalashnikov-totting goat-r#@ming baddie ...and i see a Spectre or Spooky gunship lumbering toward me ....that i would probably just keel over long before the lead (and shells) start flying!

Actually my first introduction to the spectre was in this 1980s cartoon (Rambo and the Force of Freedom) where the evil 'General Warhawk' had commandeered a Spectre Gunship ....and i can vividly remember my glee (i was quite young ...probably pre-teens if not younger) when i saw General Warhawk's Spectre rip up Rambo's camp! Obviously this was a cartoon, meaning that even though bullets galore were flying not a single bullet hit anyone! Actually the ordnance was hitting everything but the actual targets! But anyways i digress! I do remember the pleasure i accrued from seeing the guns and cannons (and howitzer) bristling from the left side of the Spectre! Darn ....that was nice .

Also one of my good friends here in the US served in 'Nam as a gunner in a gunship ....and he told me how it felt firing the guns at the vegetation below, and how at times he would notice trees were getting felled!

Anyways, going to the real world, i feel sorry (yeah, right!) for the al Queda kooks! I would say that seeing a Spectre bearing down on you is a good sign that God is not with you! It is a very strong hint!

I love the Spectre and Spooky!

Gotta show this to some buddies that were AC-130 crew, one thing about the thermal sight, how come you can't see the tracers coming down?

It takes a while to download the link at #17 but it is well worth the wait.

[MindBender26]

Don't know. Looks like these were 20mm or more probably 40mm rounds. Non-tracer so bad guys can't ident the A/C?

[MindBender26]

Looks like 20 or 40 mm for most engagements with possibly 105 for main building. Looks like small arms, (non explosive bullets) especially chasing the second vehicle.)

Can anyone identify the voices involved here? Sounds like at least 3 separate aircraft or ground based observers to me. Who was issuing clearances to fire (or not fire?)

Also, think aircraft was long distance from targets. This comes from observing turning radii, what I think is time of flight of projectiles, and lack of response by terrs on grounds to sounds (or lack of sounds) of A/C in the area.

Any ideas?

[agincourt1415]

MindBender, you're probably right, they're not using Tracer rounds. I think we were looking at an observation screen and not the real gunner's crt screen, don't see how they could direct gunfire from that screen, almost looked like a HellFire Missile attack, if I didn't know better. I email blasted this to some friends, it was spam mail of the month award stuff, LOL.

Thanks for that link. That was the first time I was able to see it.

My favorite part - "That guy's still moving. He went down the embankment and he was protected. BAM!!"
