Herc Ride

Postby BigTruck » Tue Sep 04, 2007 1:52 am

After a month of training the grunts for Iraq up on Mauna Kea, we await our ride home at Kona Intl

Hey!  Bird's here, form it up!

Loading up, that exhaust is Hot!!!!

Those of you who have flown on a Herc know exactly where this is...right where you sit, it's not exactly 1st Class, but it got us home!

A little comedy relief, no neither one is me!

Good news is, we got home just fine, bad news is, we're headed right back out for another month, leaving Thursday to train another Battalion...sigh...but I promise better pics of this trip.

You have my sympathy. I have more hours clocked up in the back of a Herc than I care to think about.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
