B-52's heading out from Barksdale Airforce Base
 

Just an update. B-52's heading out from shreveport, LA.

one of my old roomates is probably on one of those planes, she was headed overseas sometime end of the month

Loose lips sink ships. What are you, some kind of wannabe Iraqi spy? :ak47:

nola represent.

I live in Glendale, AZ, not far from Luke AFB. When the alert status goes up they patrol much more often, and buzz the houses here. I think it's great. I'd be scared shitless if I know these planes were coming after me.

I'm phoning Saddam now and letting him know!

I liked that song "Love Shack"

LOL

huh... on a similar note, while driving up 59N from Corpus Christi (south texas) toards Houston today i passed a military convoy of at least 60-80 vehicles, mostly hum-vee's and cargo trucks... the sky is falling, etc. etc...!

Did you tell them they were heading in the wrong direction?

heh, no... thought about seeing if some of them wanted to race but thought better of it..

Also the third largest C-5 base was activated yesterday. For those that dont know a C-5 is the militarys largest cargo plane.. its cargo area is just shy of the length of a whole football field at 93 yards.. Can carry 6 grey hound bus's, 4 apache helocpoters, 18 humvees... They are flying over my head like crazy now.. whew now what if one of those hit the twin towers.. would have taken them out and about 1/5 of manhattan..

One.

When I was in Germany in the 60's the girls down town use 2 tell us, your going on Alert next week. :Graucho and sure enough we'd have a dam Alert

You can always tell when the fleet is going to arrive in a port because the whores always get there a week in advance. Don't know how they know - they know, though.

Nice.

me too, Rock Lobster was fun too

You're behind the times buddy - these days they've taken a lesson from the major industries and work on a "just in time" schedule.

The girls arrive in town here in the morning and the USN arrives that afternoon :)

You are aware there's little to nothing they can do about whatever we choose to do correct? You're aware of Desert Storm I assume? Repeat is in route, just pre-emptive this time.

My brother lives across the freeway from the AFB in Tacoma which is used alot for heavy cargo transport etc. It always gets extremely busy there right before and during major military activities. Things have definitely picked up over there this week.
