Hi Mike,

A customer was a surgeon in a battalion aid station with the U.S. Army
101st Airborne Division at Bagram air force base in Afghanistan.

The U.S. Army was kind enough to ship his Argo Navis equipped 10"
Dob over and he and a couple of colleagues would observe from an
abandoned Russian howitzer emplacement in the airfield.

Given that there was a war going on, it would have been easy to mistake
them for enemy combatants with a mortar or rocker launcher.
