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... [;)]

That's what I saw in the video.

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]

Bah. Any calibre less than 40mm is for wimps. [;)][:'(]

ETA: I started my career in the Army Air Defense. Hence I've had a long love affair with ms. Bofors [;)]

I USED to like you Per! [:D]

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.

Believe it or not the place I was was designed to defend from attack over Hungary by Soviet Union! [;)]

BTW, it was one of the very first placed that USA / NATO hit in 1999 in Serbia/Yugoslavia (back in the 1980's the Yugoslavia was still federal republic and it was mandatory to serve in non-birth republic - thus I got to serve in Serbia)... that time the aircraft did come from Hungary as predicted but they were not Russian...

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... [&:]

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?


Leo "Apollo11"

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...

I know exactly where that is !

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)!

I did not know that . Very interesting, thanks.

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.

Off to review more tax returns, see you guys later.

Good morning - Tithe. [&o][&o][&o]

So are you saying I should not have submitted my resume, listing all of my software QA and customer support experience? [X(]

Should I have listed my measurements instead? [;)] [:'(]

Morning tithe.

They are only tan-challenged, not rhythm-challenged. [:D]

Well, I did kinda suppose that being that pasty white automatically disqualified one from a) having rhythm and b) being able to jump very well, but reggae? [:D]

Yeah, thats how it starts. You start cranking it with a hand and then nature takes its course. [X(][:D]
