Are those 2 equally bored A-10s I can see going round in circles 10,000 ft below you? Well at least we only burned 9,000lb of fuel.

hahaha, probably Flyco, you know how it is, hours of briefings, more hours of sitting around waiting for a MET update, finally get in your kite, and it's all over in a matter of minutes. :lol: :lol:

Shane, over in a couple of minutes! Not if it's a 13 hours sortie from Fairford to Bahrain. Nor a 'quick' force deployment to Ballykelly, followed by a 6 hour hold, with a dozen other C-130s overhead Brize Norton waiting for the fog to clear.

Ah! those were the days.
