Our 47's call sign was Whiskey one-five. But that was a few years before the 1st gulf war. Before that, flying snakes, I was Gunfighter eight. Oh those where the days. Have a good 4th.
"Also, sometimes T-72Bs shoot commander's 12.7mm "off-bore" from its barrel..." I think what he is saying is when the commander's 12.7mm fires the bullets (tracers) hit 180 degrees in the other direction. Atleast this is what happens for me.
