Copy, would have been my brothers/sisters from Minot operating out of RAF Fairford, UK. I was operating out of Diego Garcia and we were used pretty extensively in the southern portions of Iraq.
Rgr.
Those crews were awesome. We were short on CAS platforms in the North, so we had to rely on some non-traditional platforms for CAS-type missions (B52s, B1s, etc). The 52's in particular were incredible, very flexible, and incredibly lethal - got us and our lightly-armed Kurdish partners through an Iraqi Armored Division with Republican Guard reinforcements in a matter of days....

That's only grown with the integration of advanced targeting pods giving us the ability to lase our own LGBs and also derive our own coordinates for JDAMs and adding the GBU-38 500 lb JDAM to our arsenal. We also just fielded an upgrade to be able to put JDAMs in our bomb bay versus just on the wings and ability to use the GBU-54 Laser JDAM.
