BEAUTIFUL FLIGHT

One of my most favorite flights thus far. 3 ship mission to a neat place. We were chalk 3.

The best picture I have taken!

Me and Brian. I am wearing my lil princess’s button on my vest.

The kids in the truck were a big help in loading the aircraft up.

 

Weather!

A look of the valley we need to fly down. COVERED in low lying clouds.  THIS IS WHAT WE CALL VFR ON TOP!

Weather!!!

A look at the valley of crap we just flew over.

Weather here is troublesome. We get a brief every morning from the weather guy, giving us a forecast for the day. The problem is Weather sensors and equipment are few and far.

PAPER-ROCK-SCISSORS

This has to be one of the funniest letters I have read since I have been over here.  I had to take a picture of it!

Sleeping Giant.

The sleeping Giant.  Me.

SLEEPING GIANT.

Me pretending to be asleep. 

Me waking a sleeping giant with a wet willy!! Needless to say I ran out of the room real fast. He was a good sport about it..THANK Goodness.

I spent close to 2 months flying on nights.

When I first got to nights, it was awesome. The Olympics was was going on and we played video games. That lasted roughly a month and then we had our t.v.’s taken away like we were in 3rd grade.

If we weren't flying or planning we played COD 4 MW2. It was alot of fun.  We learned alot about the Olympics as well.  Our favorite sport to watch was Curling! When curling was on .. watch out! A mass of people would be in our little CP.  What do you know about a –bump,bump,tap-or-HARD!!! It was so comical.

SNOW DAY!!

The parking ramp this morning was covered in snow. The ceilings were low and the visibility sucked.  All you need is time. 

I haven't seen snow like this since we left Germany over 2 years ago.  Just wish I could go snowboarding without worrying about carving into a minefield.

View from up top of the Chinook.

After a 6 hour delay, the  weather cleared and the helicopter is thawed. As my buddy Brandon says “ Lets get two turnin and two burnin”!!

The snow melted and the ramp was flooded. I had to change my boots before we launched.

I have to say that I have one of the most unique rooms here.  My baby sent me a bunch of Alabama material and I just stapled it to the wall. Looks great and Its Homie. Oh and she sent me an awesome Coffee machine for Christmas. Thank you baby!!!

Complete with a foam finger from the last Game I attended against South Carolina, and a coozie.
