F/A-18A
Cockpit.
Real missiles, real bombs. Real 0 to 100 feet in a second
ejection seat! |

Pepsi
7 Up Coca Cola. Even across the world, they like soda. Just the
cans look weird. |

This
photo was taken atop a building in Riyadh. It shows a patriot
self destructing after it had malfunctioned according to an Air
Force Security Policeman with the 4409TH Combat Support Group
Riyadh Air Base Saudi. No Scud Missile was ever completely
destroyed in the air. Fact, most of the warheads impacted the
ground or buildings. "I did not take this photo. But I
thought I'd show it." |

Bank
of Baghdad 25 Dinar Note.
This one cost me $20 on the black market :) |
|
 |
Kuwait
Dinar Note. This one I had plenty of after a trip to
"town". |

Joint
Forces propaganda leaflet dropped on the Iraq Soldiers. It basic
says, "Surrender now and you might live to see your family
again", or something like that. |

A
leaflet dropped on the Iraq troops by the USMC to intimidate the
enemy. Note the streaking F-111 with the American Flag as the
con trail/exhaust behind the plane as it bombs some solders. I
like this one! I was told the Marines dropped about 10,000 of
these all over the Iraq Republican Guard. The art work is very
moving. |

Patriot
missile site at Shaikh Isa Air Base, Bahrain. These were about
1/2 mile from my tent. |

I
believe this "Walleye" missile cost about 1 million
dollars. It takes two pilots in separate aircraft to launch and
guide the missile onto its target. The missile has a camera type
of device in the nose to aid the pilot in guidance and
navigation. |

I am
standing next to a "Fire Bomb" canister full of
explosive and jet fuel. This is what they used to "light
off" the oil filled trenches used by the Republican
Guard. |
