You should see the other guy.

Photos of an A-10 Thunderbolt II (better known as a the Warthog) after returning from a mission over Iraq. From the size of these bullet holes, I think that this damage was done by small-caliber weapons.

The Warthog is amazing. During the Gulf War, one had an engine shot off and still returned to base. and one more...

Picture 5

On the left is the pilot of this bird.. a fermale USAF Captain. The guy on her right is her wingman. Her call sign is "Killer Chick" Gotta love it.

The first four pictures don't display -- in Opera I get a blank page with a little "image" placeholder, and in MSIE I get a "this page cannot be displayed" error.

The fifth one loads fine.

Help?

Try either I.E. or Netscrape...or the newest release of Opera (7.0.3) I managed to get all 5 pix to load up in Opera 7.0.3.

Hope this helps.

"Killer Chick" USAF Capt. Kim Campbell was one of my mother's junior high school students! (My mother remembers her being a good & well liked student.) My brother D, worked with her dad on an election campaign. She & my brother D were also in the same graduating class in High School (1993)!

Just thought you might find these tidbits interesting.
