it looks like it was nightime ops!

I was also wondering if it was night-time or not BUT there's no way to tell on IR imagery, day and night look essentially identical on IR. It would be pretty gutsy to be making gun passes at that altitude at night so my vote would be that it's a day mission.

Man that pi$$es me off. What a waste of money and manpower. The F'ing drug war is a joke. Does anyone think they accomplished anything? (besides the obvious take down of that one plane). Our country's priorities are very screw up.
