Coalition had air superiority, so aircrew could take their time aiming, using LGB. Never lose the high ground….

After it had been bombed. That picture would have been taken in 2003 in the run up to the re-invasion of Iraq, some of my munitions are on those pallets.

I've got hundreds of photos from Al-Jaber in 2003 but I'm too lazy to upload them.....I probably should.
