20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Mar. 24, 1999 -- NATO Launches Air Strikes Against Yugoslavia

March 24, 1999: We started out with fantasy baseball and a pic of Mark McGwire; that didn't last long, because we then switched to NATO air strikes against targets in Yugoslavia:

Look, a B-52!

For the PM update, we switched photos and referenced the NATO name for the strikes, Operation Allied Force:

The last update of the evening added a link to a photo gallery:

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
