I need a high resolution satellite photograph of post operation Iraqi Freedom Baghdad. I've found quite a few of pre-war Baghdad but none of soon thereafter the war. If anyone knows where I could find one I would appreciate it. Paying for it would be alright as long as it's not too expensive (>$50). Although, free would of course be preferrable.
I need someplace where I can get a high resolution image of post war Iraq

I think Kuray posted a link to some pictures a few weeks back. They were pretty amazing pictures actually. I have a few saved, but don't have the link sorry....
Ok, I'll pm him and ask for them.
I would search but it's down :/

I think I posted a link to some sat photos like two weeks after the invasion began. I'm not sure if that was here or somewhere else. A month or two ago I know that I posted some pictures from the ground, but no more sat images.orbital 123 said:
I have no idea what either of the links could have been since search is down (LAPTOP LOL.)
Just ignore the pm I sent you then.Kurayami said:
Tw was down right?
If you really feel like digging, I'm sure you'll be able to find something here:FalseMyrmidon said:

Either on the site or the forum.
Thanks for that link. I'll try looking there.Kurayami said:
The HH-60 is the Pavehawk (or Jayhawk if you're talking about the Coastguard varient.) The UH-60 and MH-60 are Blackhawks. The SH-60 is the Seahawk.apollod said:
The Pavehawk is an Airforce chopper. The biggest differences from the UH-60 is its avionics suite and various equipment that makes it better suited for all-weather day or night flight (and refueling boom, but it shares that in common with the MH-60s.)
And you're right, it is an HH-60. Upon closer inspection it has the Euro camo scheme. At first glance I saw the refueling boom and thought it was black, which would have meant that it was a 160th SOAR bird, and the 160th is Army and doesn't fly Pavehawks.

Pavehawks/Blackhawk/Seahawk/Jayhawks are all the same thing just with minor differences (unless you compare the A series to the Block 152 Series, then theres some major differences), and a MH-60G is a pavehawk, not a blackhawk; the MH-60L/K Varaint is called the Blackhawk (along with the obvious UH-60).. you really have to get specific with the Letter Designations when talking about HH-60 Series. Now only if they'd kick in the Block 162 series with the complete glass cockpits. and 160th Flys MH-60L/K's and AH-60L's. But with you playing ofp much like me with the BAS addons, you know this.

I would not call the differences "minor."apollod said:
They're all the basic same airframe tailored to a specific role. A refueling boom is a pretty major addition, for example. And that says nothing for the massive avionics upgrade that the Pavehawks get over the Army versions. I've seen claims that the Pavehawks cost more than twice as much because of the avionics alone. I checked, but couldn't find a price comparison.
The MH-60G is also an Airforce bird, so that goes without saying. The MH-60G is basically just an HH-60G that's fitted for more of a multi-mission role than just search and rescue.
Any pictures?
I've seen the 152s, and they look goofy with the repositioned radar.

I was talking mostly about the airframe in terms of the differences; the MH-60G is a Airforce bird.. pavehawks in general are airforce birds as the Army calls its variant of a pavehawk, a blackhawk, just like if the navy or airforce wanted a MH-60X they would call them Seahawks or Jayhawks, as the mission definition is in the letter designations, not the name. I dont have any pics of the 162's, but they are supposed to have glass cockpits, new defensive aids, some other changes, and not as ambitious of a structural life extension program.
