Easy day moving stuff around the DelMarVa peninsula. Comin’ in low around Quantico saw a big ole nice house on a private spot. “Hey Cap’m, put that shadow right over the swimming pool.”

Marine executive transport.

Image

Well hello little new friend. Expensive F-35C

Image

There you guys are. One of a few things that fly slower than we do.

Image

“Gas it up chief, we gotta go!”

Next up is a longer than normal photoset, but crossed three countries off the list with a two week trip to Singapore, Vietnam (North and South), and the Philippines. Also hit up Hawaii on the way back home. Great time had by all, so roll those photos!

Taking a few airplanes, so good to have a partner I've worked with before to have all the help I can get.

Image

Biggest part of a great trip is having a great crew.

Image

Had so many people onboard, an extra loadmaster had to crowd my spot where I normally can stretch out. “Shouldn’t you be downstairs saying, “Check completed.” Or something?”

Image

North to Alaska for a front end crew change. No time limits for crew chiefs or security though, so it’s gonna be a 32 hour 4 stop trip in total by the time I get in a bed.

Image

35 hours later after waking up and starting a half a world away, arrived to a kickass nice room at a hotel in Singapore.

Image

Dinner time!

Image

Rooftop pool.

Image

Fancy room.

Image

Fancy bathroom.

Image

This one is actually out of order from later on in Vietnam, but still looked cool.

Going up.

Image

Asked the taxi lady to take us hammer down big time to somewhere cool. She had quite the gadget setup.

Image

We were dropped off at the Marina Bay Sands casino. One of my security guys got a little too excited about it.

Image

“Where does this elevator go?” “It goes up.”

Image

Rooftop views of Bayfront Subzone, Downtown Core, Singapore.

Lunch time.

Image

Image

I forgot my swimmin’ shorts, but wanted to use the rooftop pool. While we were exploring the Marina Bay Sands casino, I sent my partner FCC that was afraid of heights to get me a pair from the mall. Great color choice. Thanks. A lot.

Image

Oh well, the pool is nice.

Image

Well Singapore, it has been nice, but we are loaded up and ready to ride. The loadmaster has CCR cued up to play on the PA system, because next stop VIETNAM!!!

Comin’ in hot to Vietnam like a wild weasel.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Fire services.

Image

Look at that sexy new piece of Boeing. The flag at the top of the tail made me double take.

Image

“Quick, lock the door, and then maybe he’ll go away.”

Image

“This is the real deal boys, we ain’t in Kansas anymore.”

Hotdog holding on.

Image

Taxi driver was very helpful and friendly.

Fancy hotel. Prolly in the top ten I’ve ever stayed at.

Venturing into the wilds.

Image

Image

Cheers.

Image

Not what I was expecting when reading the menu, but I’m pretty hungry, and there is beer, so we’ll take it.

Image

Car is worth more than the whole block.

Image

Time to hit the bars, and see how this corner of the world drinks.

Image

Image

“Sir, would you switch to drinking Tiger beer?”
“With a photo for the blog? Sure why not.”

Image

Nope, didn’t like the Tiger beer, so back to the “333”.

Image

“Hey, ice cream floats sound great to go with all this booze!”

I’m sure it would have tasted ok if some pilot didn’t knock it over on me before I could try it. Back to the hotel for some overnight laundry service.
