Report from an Air Force Pilot On The Ground

Speaking of my buddy BLACKFIVE, I just had to share this:

Here is a report from an Air Force pilot who was assigned to several operations in Iraq as the Forward Air Controller - the USAF guy responsible for calling in Air Strikes and communicating with the aircraft above a ground combat mission.

It's long, but it's good. It shows the Zoomies are doing their part on the ground, as well as in the air...even if they don't know certain *ahem* unofficial Marine nomenclatures.

BLACKFIVE: Air Force Pilot Experiences Ground Combat

:: I'm fascinated by the parallels here... of the challenges of Air/Ground Coordination faced in combat operations like this... and what we do.
