Hi all,

Looks like the Gadaffi forces haven't got things all their own way.....
From ABC News site: Video: Fighter jet shot down over Benghazi
Most likely a shoulder launched SAM....
It was weird: that Mirage was already in a spin when it caught fire, right after the pilot ejected. I'm not sure it was actually shot down.
It was not Mirage F1... it was MiG-23... believe me... [;)]

Civilians.
They have a different opinion of strong defences and heavy combat. I daresay that those of you out there with infantry training have a different opinion to mine of those things as well.
Well, if somebody is pointed a twin-barrel 23mm anti-aircraft gun at me, then I'd call that a pretty strong opponent...[:D]
ETA: I started my career in the Army Air Defense. Hence I've had a long love affair with ms. Bofors [;)]

Anyway, the Pentagon's Name-That-Operation computer has struck again: Odyssey Dawn????
What does that mean?[&:][&:]
Sounds kind of like a stripper's name.
Not that I would kow about such things.

Hi all,

Evening chaps [:)] Another long day, maybe one day I'll be able to share some pictures.
No plans on redeployment (to Italy possibly) Martin?

Sorry mate, "no comment" is all I can say on the subject. Sure you'll understand. Although I can probably get away with showing one pic (from 120 or so) from my part in Operation Ellamy...

Luckily that you don't have GPS data written in EXIF in your JPEG (BTW, the original EXIF is not removed after photo editing)... [;)]
I have no idea what that means [&:]
All new photo cameras, mobile phones etc. save so called meta-data in JPG when picture is taken.
This data contains the name of camera, time, various timings of camera etc. [:)]
If device has GPS the GPS data is also written there. [;)]
When you edit picture (and you used Paint.NET) that original EXIF data is not erased - it is preserved and only editing data is added (in your case the name of pain program you used to shrink picture and write some stuff on it)!

We are currently in the market for a fulltime administrative assistant. I posted addvertisements in both Monster.com and Career Builders.com. Within a week we received almost 600 resumes ! And of course the vast majority of them did not match the job description. Oh well.

I loved yo olde Bofors. Worked on one once that was hand cranked.

Also I remember back in the 1980's that even high ranking officers in our base had no knowledge of "Wild Weasel" missions and anti-radiation missiles... I was appalled by the fact that schooled officers were so ignorant... it was like they never heard of Vietnam and Arab-Israeli wars... [&:]
