Hi,

I just found out some interesting news that RDAF F-16's have been given important resposibilities in Operation Allied Force. They have currently been given the task/s of flying Combat Aircraft Patrols (CAP) an important job which means protecting Allied forces while they maintain their operations. They are currently using AMRAMM A-A missles in the operation. CAP missions are not easy as they sometimes require the pilots to stay airborn for long periods of time while flying their CAP circuits.

It seems the RDAF is a key entitiy in the support areas and performs the tasks at hand well. Saying this I heard the news saying today that a pilot came close to being hit by a SAM missle. He stated that the missle came so close to his aircraft he could feel the turbulence it created to his aircraft. A lucky escape for that pilot and it shows that they are in a very risky business.

I sincerely hope they all make it back safley & this war will be over as soon as possible.

John I was also looking at the Danish version of the site and was wondering if you could tell me of how to get in touch with the Red Cross because it was in Danish & I want to send some clothing for the refugees, please, I feel so sorry for them and the children it makes me very sad and angry.

Thank you
