Condor use in the Military
I read somewhere the Condor is being used by the U.S.Military? Anyone got stories or Photos? Just to support our Brave men and Women in the Armed Forces. I am an ex Airforce enlisted.

Which Patton??
On December 9, 1945, a day before he was due to return to the United States, Patton was severely injured in a road accident. He and his chief of staff, Major General Hobart R. “Hap” Gay, were on a day trip to hunt pheasants in the country outside Mannheim. Their 1938 Cadillac Model 75 was driven by Private First Class Horace Woodring (1926 – 2003), with Patton sitting in the back seat on the right side, with General Gay on his left, as per custom. At 11:45 near Neckarstadt (Käfertal), a 2½ ton GMC truck driven by Technical Sergeant Robert L. Thompson hit the car containing the general head-on. According to the book Unexplained Mysteries of World War II, as the crash was at a railway crossing and the vehicles were just starting up, this means the crash was at no more than 20 miles per hour (32 km/h).
At first the crash seemed minor, the vehicles were hardly damaged, no one in the truck was hurt, and Gay and Woodring were uninjured. However, Patton was leaning back with trouble breathing. The general had been thrown forward and his head struck a metal part of the partition between the front and back seats. Paralyzed from the neck down, George Patton died of an embolism on December 21, 1945 at the military hospital in Heidelberg with his wife present.
So it’s safe to assume not that patton? 😀

While it makes a romantic story of sorts for Airforce fans/addicts it is purely the stuff of daydreams
The military would not put a toy into the hands of a fighting man
My friend who is a retired marine and has been a swat instructor from the the late 1970’s stated, that they would use silent pellet guns to remove porch lights.
I myself was on a marine swat type team and we never used a pellet gun. We used the MP5.

Like I said, a great way to kill some time on a day off.
