Garry,

An air power zealot I am not! But control of the air in this case helped provide the NA forces the edge to move rapidly into shattered Taliban lines, whether they were Taliban fighting in Hilux 4x4s with RPGs or armour as they did still have themselves. 🙂

RE: Mosquito Page Updated

I just watched 633 Squadron again today, didn’t know it was on, but that music is unmistakable! Love that film.

RE: Armour, part II

Garry,

I for one don’t think that way. But the air campaign in support of the NA was decisive in the fact that it allowed that mobility some room to move.

What swung the war in the NA’s favour was in no small amount American & Allied air power! Smashing the Taliban front lines at crucial points provided the necessary break through for the NA.

RE: Air China crash in Korea

Although this news is never good, there is one thing that makes this crash a little better – survivors!! This is good news from the ashes of the wreck and no doubt the stories they will tell will be interesting.

What super hero would you most like to be and why?

Batman – gets the hottest chicks and drives the coolest machines. 🙂
