> After Pakistan shut their boarder all the fuel convoys ran through my area. Before I got there 3 tankers were hit with RPGs and SAF destroying them in an S curve surrounded by mountains. Technically the independent - Afghan security companies are responsible for removing the disabled vehicles from the road but insurgents began using the obstacles to their advantage, planting IEDs on them and using the slowed traffic to launch further attacks so we spent a few weeks clearing the mountains and disrupting the ambushes before getting a couple of our mechanics and their armored wrecker to come remove them from the road. I think we removed 8 trucks along my stretch of road.

Unreal. Not to make light of the situation, but looks like real life Roadwarrior aftermath.

F4U! One of the most BA planes ever I think. The guy I bought my house from told me storys about flying them, and how unpredictable they could be. He left me the two nice framed pics in the garage, one of a P51 and one of F4U.
