God, please be with our servicemen and women during this time of action. Lord protect our families and friends, and give our leaders wisdom regarding this Libyan situation. To God be the glory forever! In Christ Jesus’ name. amen!
Is that the strike version? If so it has 2 crewmembers.
B@stard!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s hear what he has to say now. Thank God Pilot is presumed safe.
Prayers Up!
Well, if they’re with the rebels, at least you know they are getting a warm reception.
Amen and amen.
For now.

Right now? Come on. For the moment, at least, they are in love with the aircrew that are helping them.

The rebels are probably Al Qaeda
Mechanical failure?? When is the last time we heard of an F-15 crashed because of the mechanics.
