Operation Just Cause

[SVT Cobra]

That was a sexy invasion wasn't it? I love reading everything about it, wondering if anyone else wants to discuss it? Any books read recently? Another retired Delta member came out recently and gave more details about Kurt Muse.

Might want to clarify for those that don't remember, was Just Cause Kuwait or Iraq?

I knew a guy that was part of a navy security detail for a facility there when it happened. He knew something was happening when everyone got recalled, issued sidearms, and told to secure all the entrances and wait till it's over.

Seen several things on it and Combat Zone on the History Channel did a pretty cool episode on it. While probably not funny at the time, the fact that when they landed the helicopter on the roof and extricated that dude, they couldn't fly because they were too heavy, woops! And least they survived the subsequent crash.

I love Combat Zone and Untold Stories...other shows are crap now trying to appeal to a new audience. BTW anyone have recordings my DVR is on the fritz??

Anyway that's BS that it was too heavy, they crashed because the pilot had to avoid power lines while avoiding small arms fire. He avoided the power lines and saved everyones life but over stressed the chopper.

Wasn't too fun for the SEALs that took a beating securing that airstrip.

Great debut of the F-117 though! (j/k)

From what I remember, two aircraft dropped a pair of bombs each but failed to do anything more than put some holes in a field. It's been awhile, but that was my general impression which is why I was being sarcastic.

Lockheed Martin confirms there was at least 5 in the air that night including one flying ovals that was tasked to blow the bridge of Americas if necessary.

Ah, that's news. Perhaps my "two" was actually two flights of two.

That's it as they were in flights of two.
