Here are a few pictures from the last few months. I haven't been too great at posting pictures and I'm not sure I'll get better over the next few months. I started an Aviation Law class that is supposedly going to require quite a bit of reading. So far it's not too bad, but I'm sure it'll get worse!
This one is from an early morning maintenance flight near Bagram.


A mid-day shot on our way into Jalalabad.


Matt workin' the hula hoop.


Jeff wasn't doing so well.


This monster dive bombed my head one day... thankfully I had my weapon available and was able to protect myself.


Look at the stinger on that thing! Well... I suppose it's not on it anymore.


My corny platoon leader showing me his airfield badge.


Here is an MI-24 Hind. This is what the Russians flew back in the 80's when they went village to village killing everyone in sight. They're obviously not used for that now, but I can't help but wonder how the Afghan people feel when they see one of these things fly over. I wouldn't think they enjoy it too much.


The other day we were all inside when we heard a bunch of loud crashing noises outside. There was a storm rolling through and a microburst sent everything flying, including our porta-john. Ended up spilling it's contents all over the ground right outside our door... not a pretty sight (or smell).



What a pleasant way to end the day!
