They very nearly did a few years back, then 9/11 happened, Afghanistan kicked off and Iraq followed.

Great shots, and how on Earth did you manage to capture the rounds coming out of the Avenger canon :Wow: and good to see some Fort Smith examples :clap:

Brilliant Roel, just brilliant, every single one a winner and as a bentwaters veteran it brings a tear to my one good eye (naval saying!)
