I'm glad they got those guys back and that they are alive. I remember when their plane went down and last I heard they were assumed dead. If it's the same guys I'm thinking of, they were based out of Patrick AFB here in Florida.

I knew the head guy of that operation and he was going to hire me on as a pilot if I went into the Army Reserves to get my pilot training. That was back before 9/11 and the Reserves wouldn't put me in pilot training because they said I was too old, so that ended that.

Would of been a hell of a exciting job though, because at the time they were talking about giving them A10 fighters because they were getting shot at so much. Would have been the only civilian operation to use military fighters.

We are running a so called under the radar war in Columbia with the govt their using civilian contractors so the US military can claim no involvement officially.
