My uncle gave this picture to me years ago. He took it during desert storm with a cheap disposable camera.

Cool.

Thanks,

I wish I had the digital image of this but since it was a regular photo that's not going to happen ;). Would love to have this one blown up.

That's a sweet picture

Had a Demo of the TOW on Okinawa by some jarheads on the same style of hummer, only they were shooting it foreward over the hood and had the back of the hummer open like a clamshel (backwards facing the hummer) and blew it off when they launched the Tow

Yea got to check that backblast area when using rockets/missles. I have seen the position lights on A/C broken and busted up because of the TOW/Hellfire and 2.75 rockets. The Apache actually has a rubber blanket covering the front edge of the stabilator because of that reason. I have still seen them tore up pretty bad from backblast.
