Launching CALCMs over the western desert of Iraq at night while some guy with a 57mm AAA shoots at the sound of our jets overhead. No chance in hell he'd hit us, but we could see the air bursts 15k below us.

Delivering a full load of M117s on top of some IA arty batteries on a ridge line and delivering some badly need help to the Aussie JTACs in the valley below who were getting pounded by the arty. Not a peep from the guns after our drop. The coolest part was watching the orange glow of each bomb's impact ripple out for miles against the undercast (also at night).
