there was a quote in the article about the one that went down in the mon river. “heading downstream in a generally south, southwest direction at approximately” well going south on the river would be going upstream. so whats up with that:confused: ---

Not to put this back on-topic again, but my brother is a pilot on a mc130 in the air force right now. He spent 3 tours in afganistan and Iraq, but he is in Special OPS and can’t tell me what he was doing. Maybe when all of this shit is done with he can tell me. I was down at Eglin AFB in Florida(where he is stationed) and got to take a tour of his plane. There is just a ton of shit that they can put in there, it’s pretty cool. ---
