No I specificly remember seeing Fox News live feed night time shots of airbase taxiway where A-10 taxied. They didn't say which airbase it was due operation security, of course.

[Ender Wiggin]

so those arent it? Also, i found out that the OOB was from mid July, ill see what else i can dig up. I assume some of the units were there from the begining, im not sure where in Iraq that the A-10's are at, maybe northern?

Yeah those are not it, as the war was starting/ongoing there was no ground forces in these bases. It was early hours/days of the war that I remember seeing the live feed.

[Ender Wiggin]

well, i found out there were A-10's at King Kalid, also 4 Sq's at Al Jabar. Found Navy OOB http://navysite.de/navy/iraqi-freedom.htm I dunno how to add Sq's on a carrier.

Thanks Ender. Some good stuff here. And I thought this "Campaign Building" was going to be just "Technical". Time to start going through the 10 Video Tapes I kept of live "news" from OIF. Now I know why I did them

Ah I beat you. I got 31 VHS tapes from OIF, mostly from Fox News which is available on sat dish.

My tapes are some 4hrs and rest 3hrs long. Man I still remember sitting in the sofa hours at time just glued to the tv screen. Not many times you see history in the making.

ODS back in 1991 was somewhat missed by me, I didn't even have CNN at that time. So now that I got both CNN and Fox News, I promised to myself that no live feed escapes my grasp this time. So I ended up with 31 tapes of live feed

Also as the good documentary material from the wars is pretty rare, its good to have my own documentary material at hand.

I was told you were doing the OIF campaign, maybe we can work together, and compare research and work.

[RobC_F4]

Who told you that? as I have just changed "status" within the company so suddenly I have a whole bunch of RL admin crap that I had better concentrate on)

Remember, I am a total "newbie" to the internals of Campaigns, I might just become a big "paign in your @$$"

Was there any F-16's deployed in Kuwait?

[Ender Wiggin]

I believe so, Ahmed Al Jabar had the 524th FS from Cannon AFB.

[Ender Wiggin]

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/f ... rsian.html, not a bad site for info on the airbases, it shows where the carriers are, and the OOB on the Navy will help too, as to who was where.

[Snake Man]

Could not found that link. I know its asking a lot, but could you just copy-paste the data overhere. Like in the good old days in Afghanistan forum we stored the data HERE and not some xyz web site in the world. This way if all fails, we still have the data and can use it.
