Is that a Pelican flying over Kandahar?
Leland sent this in:
 Wow.

I try to avoid using the word "awesome", but that pic truly is!

That put a smile on my face!
Paul, I'm no EOD guy like Leland, but I believe that is a bomb of some sorts. For the SCWDP! (just kidding) |

Odd, you'd think there would be something about SCWDP on there somewhere. Maybe Lelands not discriminating on this one!

That would be 500lbs of righteous Pelican Power!
If you look closely, you can see the CIS mods for better initial kick that Leyland has cunningly applied to this monster. Nail 'em, Leyland!

According to a reputable source (ok...Leland via Paul) it is actually a 2,000 lb bomb which did its job two days ago. It WAS big pelican doo doo!

Ruf - hope you're right about the mass - bigger bombs are better bombs - but the date on that pic is today 20 Dec.

Leeeeland, you f'ing rule!
This place is a brotherhood. You have the elders, Early_S Man and John Walker, you have the Good Old boys, Jack Olsen, Rarly, Superman (do I mean goodie two shoes?), you have the slightly cynical but ultimately liberal nemesis, Old_Skul (my nemesis), the far and away Matt H. (? in australia, just rebuilt his engine) punching out 5 bazillion HP from a 2.7... A band of merry porsche guys. The young gun off to war, Leland, bring the whole team together. I'm touched by that one. Really...

Jack...apologies for the mail I just sent. Did it before I checked the board. And guys, according to the expert, "that's a J-DAM, also known as a Mk 31 which is a satellite guided 2000 pounder. big boom" Anybody doubting this can consult the leader of the SCWDP... Thanks for posting Jack!
