Enterprise F/A-18s Strike Enemy Mortar Position in Iraq:
ABOARD USS ENTERPRISE, At Sea (NNS) -- Strike fighter aircraft from Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, flying from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) in the North Arabian Gulf, attacked an enemy mortar position near Balad, Iraq, north of Baghdad, Jan. 9, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Two Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 86 F/A-18 Hornets from Enterprise’s embarked carrier air wing each dropped a 1,000-pound Joint Direct Attack Munition in the attack, striking the enemy position.

This strike was the carrier’s first use of precision-guided munitions since the beginning of the new year. Enterprise strike fighters last struck a target in Iraq Nov. 28.

Enterprise deployed with three Hornet squadrons, one of which is the “Sidewinders” of VFA-86, based at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, S.C. The aircraft involved in Friday’s strike returned safely to Enterprise.

They can be either Glock 18's (full-auto) or Glock 17's (semi-auto). Both take the long 33-round magazine.
From the picture I can't tell which model the pistols are, about the only external difference is the selector on Glock 18. Maybe some of our Greek friends can tell which one they use.

Great pics!

In addition: here is a small video of the Greek Special Forces training:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/video/39731000/rm/_39731779_greece05_dunlop13_vi.ram

In it, you see them fiing the pistols, and they only fire semi-auto. So maybe it'ts the G17.

Greek Army Special Forces use Glock 17s. Glock 18 is in use by Greek Military but only by the Navys Special Forces(MYK).
