Great write-up - how do we make it happen more often?
Vlad,
Thanks for another great trip description! Do you know who set this up? FAA, EAA, Local flying club?! Granted it has to go through the base commander - for his approval. How can the rest of us get on the notification lists - like you seem to be?! Appreciate all of your trips! Ralph |

It is comforting to know that the US Military is getting along with our Russian friends. :)

What a cool adventure. As always, thanks for sharing, Vlad! :):)

Ahh, McGuire. The start of my yearlong vacation in SE Asia.
It does take some pre-planning and coordination though to be able to fly to a military base. Once I flew to a joint base, had all the PPR clearance from the Air Force, but when I got to the Coast Guard ramp, half the Coasties were not aware of the mission and we were sequestered until they were all brought up to speed. Departures are interesting too. Little did I know that the tower automatically filed a VFR flight plan upon our departure. They just never told us that they filed one. Even Flight Service had to search around to find the correct coordinating office. |
Ahhh, my favorite three-holer. I've got a little over 2000hrs in those jets as a boom operator. Wishing very much that my time in them wasn't drawing to a close...
