Next trip was a quick run to Spain, Germany, and Fort Bliss TX.

Remember, dimmer skies are safer skies. Spray on!

Some people ask how I pack. No matter the location, I bring a 7 day bag that gets me through most trips without laundry. Here I had tore the world apart looking for the ipad charger. Oh well, off to the store for another one.

Image

Had a great chilly night in a German Christmas village.

Image

Looong flight from Germany to Texas. Full tank of 36,000 gallons of gas.

Looking across the Texas/Mexico border.

Middle America

"Chief, why do maintainers draw dicks on everything?" I didn't do it this time! Silly Army passengers set me up.

While the Tide pods are popular, I'm more of a Pine Sol on the rocks kinda guy.

Hungarian hills

Right turn Clyde.

We are hammer down, but still gettin' passed.

Image

This was a slightly disorienting picture. Like water washing up onto a rocky beach, but at 10k+ feet.

Image

Years ago I could never imagine making it to 2500 hours flying along in this aero plane. Drinks on me tonight boys!

Image

Just like out of the Tom Clancy novel, we were picking up personnel and collected intelligence by any means necessary sanctioned by orders direct from the POTUS.

Boots on ground for the first time in my grandfather's native land of Hungary.

Agent codename CARDNAL, Colonel Mikhail Semyonovich Filitov
is safely onboard, and headed to stateside debriefing. When asked why defect from the Soviet Union, "One way or another, we all fight for what we believe in. Doesn't that give us some common ground?" In reality, saying goodbye to Hungary. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Image

Lower Swatara Pennsylvania! The place I'll always call home. Go figure the one time I get to fly over my house I grew up at, there is a cloud in the way.

Image

Jersey in the house!

Image

Spending the night in somewhere in Ohio, so they gave us a sweet van, and off to find sam'mich's.

Image

Nice field.

Image

Image

Best way to end a long day is with a Coors Lite.

North Atlantic Tracks; truckin’ high above the cold.

Land ho!

Field off to the left on the scope is called Narsarsuaq Airport. Diverted there a few years ago to get Greenland pinned on the map, and was my second most northern landing. Won’t be needing that today.

Image

Looked outside, but we couldn’t see it. Tiny little spot.

The Spirit of the Constitution; Dover’s oldest original delivery airplane.

Hey little friends!

Image

“Need gas pumped ASAP chief.” “Well I’m still gonna send it!”

“Hell yeah I like flyin’ with Fargo. We’re sure not gonna break…”
“Damn it Ben! Don’t put that evil on me.”

Image

Lets ride boss!

Image

“Clear left.”

Image

“Reach 430; traffic 11 o’clock; Turn heading two seven oh.”

Image

Muggy DC Beltway.

An old Dover friend before switched to New Jersey, “I remember when you were mine…”

Image

Well, this trip was labeled a fail, as the Spoiler Control Electronic Flap Computer decided it didn’t want to play anymore. No Control-Alt-Delete was going to bring a fried power supply back from the dead. Had to sit at Andrews waiting for the backup airplane to bring me one, then watch it take the cargo we were going to haul. Thus, continues the legend of 61sick6. Oh well, can’t win them all.

Image

Wait a minute. It was the loadmaster that jinxed this trip saying nothing will break. You get to sit in time out now!
