Hello, All!
Here's a LL 2.0 beta screenshot from my HP netbook. The picture shows two USAF F-15 Eagles (three, most likely - after all, SOMEBODY took the photo!) from the 57th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, based at Keflavik Naval Air Station, Iceland, shadowing a Russian Tu-95 Bear bomber.
Back in the day, the AF wanted to send me there. Iceland was just too doggone cold, so since I had yet to re-enlist, I didn't have enough time to complete a tour there before my term of service ended. Therefore, they could not send me there. I later found out that they sent one of my tech school buddies there instead. (I hope he enjoyed himself there!)
I held out on re-enlisting until they offered to send me some place I was comfortable serving at for two years, which was Sembach AB, (West) Germany. I looked it up on Wikipedia recently, and found out that the US Army has now taken the base over. Germany kicked the US Army out of Mannheim (30 mi./50 km to the east), so they're moving the military prison there...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
