 Re: cross country
One fine March day in 2003 I woke up in Camp Udari, Kuwait, pre-flighted my Chinook, and crossed the border into Iraq. The next 6 weeks was one long cross-country where I criss-crossed from Kuwait City, Baghdad and Mosul, and very remote points in between. At one point I was grounded in the middle of the open desert for 4 days due to a dust storm. Got really tight with my crew that week.
-Three CH-47s under my control for 6 weeks: FREE
- 3000 lbs of Jet Fuel per flight hour: FREE
- Occasional and spotty maintenance support: FREE
- Taking a dump in the middle of the open desert during a dust storm while your crew laughs at you: PRICELESS
