Pray for the Pilot.

I doubt engine failure and we know the French didn't knock it out of the sky.

[MistyCA]

I don't think I understand. This is a single-seat plane with two people dead? Were these people in the plane or on the ground? And the pilot is presumably living? It's very sad and I pray for the welfare and health of the pilot, but this does confuse me.

Ditto prayers for the pilot.

Update (Dissociated Press) -- All residents of the towns of Domptail and Saint-Pierremont and the surrounding area surrendered unconditionally before noon on Thursday....

[antidisestablishment]

I pray the pilot made it out, but would be surprised if he did. I was stationed at Spangdahlem--great base. When I was there, we had an A10 crash into an apartment building with multiple casualties. Nasty business flying in crowded areas.

Anyway, I had to respond to this ``There were neither live nor depleted uranium munitions on board.'' A10 cockpits are constructed of DU, but I am thankful no DU munitions was involved. Never attempt to pacify greenies--you just spread the disease.

The two-seat version of the A-10 attack plane can be seen over the eastern Mojave Desert as it undergoes flight and handling tests. This aircraft is painted in an overall gray "lizard" camouflage. The A-10 has been informally dubbed the "Warthog" by its crews, who care less about the planes looks than for its load-carrying ability and superb low-altitude, low-speed handling qualities. This particular aircraft may be seen at the Flight Test Center Museum.

And for the record, I never saw a two seater A-10 while on active duty.

Tinfoil hat time or not--I would love to know if any of those Algeriomoroccan-islamonazis got ahold of a Stinger...

[Psycho_Bunny]

Well, it has to be asked so, I'll ask it:

Have the French offered terms yet?

[Reborn]

Praying for the pilot...

[Bahbah]

Prayers for the pilot and family members.

[Michael2001]

Ditto on the prayers. As for those suggesting that this is a terrorist attack, I highly doubt it, the islamomaniacs are not that sophisticated to bring down one of our jets.

"Pray for the Pilot"

Prayers being said.

[stand 4 something]

Prayers going up for the pilot and family from the wife of an A-10 pilot.

[rockfish59]

Why are we even in the cheese eating, surrender monkey country anyway?

Bunch of ungrateful, whining pimps!

[Johnny Gage]

A U.S. Air Force A10 on a training mission crashed Thursday in a forest in eastern France...

France.. immediately thinking it was under attack, announced its UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
