Hey Guy's;
Well I'm really disappointed about the show first off they never mentioned the operations in Bosnia & Kosovo, and they forgot to mention the use of the LITENING II targeting pods on the A-10's, also there where 2 bases of operation in Iraq not 1 there where operations in Tallil & Kirkuk during the conflict, I should know because I was there, and they also made everyone believe just the 23 FW was the only wing that flew there( and Afghanistan the 926th & 442 was there with them)----- NOT----- there where 5 A-10 units, and 2 of which was carrying the LITENING pods, and those units where used for hunting the HIGH VALUE TARGETS not the way those pilots of the 23rd stated, we used the LITENING II's to hunt for those targets not just binoculars, GPS and ground FAC's, also they never stated that the LITENING II's on the A-10's that helped in the demise of Uday & Qusay Hussien back last summer
