Default USAF Bombs Yorkshire!!!!

An item on the BBC news..............

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/3389957.stm

An F-15E from Lakenheath dropped a BDU-33 25lb practice bomb - and made
an 18 in crater.

Is this what they mean by 'Ground Attack' ??

Little Bitty Blue Death from above!

(Although I did see a guy kill a rattlesnake with a BDU-33 on the
flightline once... yes, it did have a charge in it and yes, the guy was
an idiot.)

I don't know, put a flat cap on Bin Laden, give him a sheepdog... maybe

Why the fuss. Everyones been missing the bombing range at RAF Holbeach for
years. Used to be a weekly occurrance to get calls about practice bombs
being found miles arround when I was in the Police there.

We had a F-117 bomb West Texas last year. He bombed a interstate dumpster &
somebody's bathroom before he found out he was dropping practice bombs. He
claimed he didn't know the jet was loaded with them, which may be true. The
investigation revealed he was running late, missed most of his pre-flight
briefing, his jet crapped out & switched planes at the last minute and
didn't pre-flight it.
