Aero-News Quote of the Day

"At the time, for me, what I was thinking was, 'Well, you know, this could be the big one. Let's make sure we get it right."

Source: Lt. Col. Fred Swan (USAF), mission commander aboard a B1-B Lancer tasked with dropping four GBU-31 "bunker-buster" bombs on a building thought to house Saddam Hussein. So far, there's no confirmation that the Iraqi leader was killed in the raid. The building, a restaurant and residence, was reduced to a smoking hole in the ground.
