Hellfires and TOWs are some bad ass missiles - I worked with some grunt
artillery soldiers while I was stationed at Nellis AFB in the late 70's as a
tactical missile systems tech working on all sorts of air launched
conventional missiles, smart bombs and general munitions. I also worked with
a lot of defense contractors when they developed and asessed new systems on
our bombing range in the desert. I worked with some really neat equipment
for the (then) new IR version of the AGM-65 Maverick with Hughes Aircraft.

It'll come in handy when you get that turrent mounted on your truck :-)
Not as handy as the Hellfire missiles that go with it. They should be
just the ticket for clearing the tourists off the road and out of my way.

BTW I fixed the laptop and I've been using it. It also has the DATA I/O
PromLink software on it.
