[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3332915, member: 44288"] First saw them in 79 at Ft Riley. I was amazed at their slow speeds and ability to turn hard without losing altitude. They looked like they were out of the Star Wars movie. Of course that is the same night I heard a[B] WHUMP,[/B] [B]WHUMP[/B] [B][I]WHUMP! [/I][/B]outside my tent. It was a blue dummy 500 pounder finally coming to rest in between my tent and the next tent. Come to think of it that's the same week we found an AIM-9 parting the no passing stripe on the blacktop while on route recon. We reported it to range control because we thought it was an obvious part of our exercise. Turned out it was dropped off an A-10 that morning and they were trying to find it. Man I wish I'd had a camera during summer camps and playing army on TDY. [/QUOTE]
