The EA-6's are US Navy, the Harrier is British.

The skid marks are from making a 90 degree turn with a half a million pound airplane going in reverse down in Ethiopia.

I think the white things in the picture, if we are looking at the same one, are just roads.

Ten Humvees fit pretty comfortably in the back.

Coach seating is much more comfortable than first class.

We get lots of comments from people that are glad to be flying on a C-17 rather than a Herk but I think one is probably about the same as the other.

It's very possible that 0054 has been out to Wendover.

Mike I don't think it's so much that I'm tired of it, I'm just burned out. Small distinction, but it is one..
