Recall that Trump did say he was going to bomb the s**t out of ISIS, and that's who this was intended for. Caves full of ISIS fighters. Good oh!

10,000 foot mushroom cloud! 21,000lbs of ordinance, in one package?
That is truly one big mother ...
Glad they're ours, and not theirs!

I was living just south of Gainesville, Fl when they tested the Moab at Elgin AFB. We were 260 or so miles away as the crow flys and it rattled the windows in the house. Truly impressive piece of ordinance.

I would like to add that the MOAB is a 147,000,000 grain door knocker!

Am guessing it's rolled out the back of a cargo type aircraft and not carried slung under ? Also am guessing as it breaks away the aircraft jumps up in elevation after suddenly losing 21,000 lbs ? That's like a bus sized bomb ! Yikes.

Sits on a sled and is pulled out by a parachute out of the cargo bay of I believe a C130. The same plane my son is transitioning to flying later this summer.

I'd love to watch this from a safe distance. Some things must be experienced to fully appreciate. Kinda like witnessing an elephant bluff charge.

Robb I see quite a few of the C130's around here, since I live not too far from Stewart airport. Ray I live in a suburb of Albany NY and see those C-130 s fly by several times a week. The one I saw today had shies or something similiar attached. Must be one of the planes that do the supply runs to the south pole. They do practice approaches to Albany International all the time. Impressive machines.
