Quote Of The Day

Not to worry:
“These things will be worked out,” Heithold says. “There will be strict rules of engagement for the use of lasers, just like there is for a tactical nuke.”
That's Lt. Gen. Bradley Heithold, the head of U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command, which would like to fry "stationary vehicles, aircraft and fixed communications nodes such as cellphone towers" w/ a 60-kW or 120-kW high-powered laser mounted on an AC-130W Stinger II (formerly Dragon Spear) “mini arsenal plane”.
Belly o' the Beast, stolen from FTA.
A huge thanks to great friend of site Paul Carter for all AC-130W shots.
Make sure to check out all of Paul's aviation photography work here.
Bzzzzzt!! Ain't got time to make no apology! (For your tax dollars.)
