Almost every night I get to hear these guys doing this. One just flew over as I type. They must go through several million dollars worth of ordinance per night. On the plus side, when they do it, I can crank some Arma up loud and the neighbors won't complain

I love that machine. When you think of it its so simple but so hi tech too. Just get a cargo plane and stick 4 big guns out the side and you have God's finger pointing down at things he wants to destroy. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. I cant stand up now for at least 5 minutes
