I had heard that it was going to happen on the 17th of July. If all goes well I will go back in time and make it to this run. I have 12 aircraft, nursing off two tankers escorted by two support aircraft with some of the highest qualified technicians, parts and tools flying from half way around the world that will determine if I make it on time or not. All while dealing with local time, zulu time and the international date line with as we start our jaunt across the pond.

Wow, that flight-run is a lot more responsibility than I'd care to plan out. I just wonder how/where you plan on landing all of those aircraft for a pit stop and a cup of coffee.

I'll be sad to leave the land of the vending machine.. For those that have not been to Japan it seems like they have a vending machine serving almost anything you can imagine and some items that you would not want to know about, on every corner. This includes residential area and along side roads especially with hot and cold coffee's

Ahhh I remember the vending machines well, with the red and blue side for hot or cold.

So, what'd everybody do this weekend? Last night, Jill's sister & I burned through a 150-piece firework box in <20min. I wanted to douse the box in lighter fluid & then watch one big bang. Then I thought better about burning a hole in the middle of the road.

Packed my barracks room out getting close to getting this deployment over with. As for two days ago on watched the fireworks over MCAS Iwakuni Japan. Long hours and short tempers as we wrap up the process and deal with the check outs are ahead of us. See MidCal soon is it lawn chair season in the parking lot yet?

We're excited to have you back in the Valley Chief! Do you have any immediate plans after you've visited with your family? We gonna do a big turbo on the R56? Oh speaking of R56 - I'm sure you're super-psyched to drive your car again! Just remember to keep it under a hunid.

If all goes well I will make it to the run and maybe the meeting just need to make sure that the jets get across the pond if you know what I mean. My real issue will be in making sure that I stay on the right side of the road.

Take the money & redo in CF! Turn a negative into a positive.

Btw, Duell's 2010 catalog: Duell 2010 goodness.
