Had my “Cherry TAC Ride” today. Big Bo Biddle and myself went on a 6.2 hour expedition today. Had a tough time getting out of the line. The section lead couldn’t get an up aircraft so in order to “Manage my gearbox temps”, I requested to take the aircraft into the pattern and perform Pin Checks…also known as letting the boys in the back run through several hundred rounds of ammo. Surprisingly the Section Lead agreed (Tug you’re the man) and we spent an hour by ourselves shooting shit and chasing Hadji Scrappers off the target area. We got called back and had to wait till another aircraft was available. So then we take off again and once again have to turn around for a minor issue. So 5 hours later we finally take off for our journey down toward the Kuwaiti border. Everything went great during the flight and we finally touched back down right before sunset in just less than 1 mile of visibility (thank God for our automated approach system).

And as you can tell by the photo with the birdie in it. I made Bo wear the mask all the way down to the border! He was less than pleased and swore revenge…we’ll see.
