Good Times

The last couple of weeks have been pretty interesting. We are flying all over the place and carrying all kinds of people to different places. I am finally getting settled after we switched from nights to days. It was a pretty rough transition after spending so long on nights. I am really enjoying getting to fly as much as we are over here. It also feels good to finally be doing what I have been training to do instead of practicing at home. It really sucks being away from Rachael and all of my family back home but it really isn't that long of a time to be gone. This last week we flew the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders 3 times around the country. We got to know them pretty well. They were a nice change to be around and they were a lot of fun to hang out with on the airplane. We also got to fly several congressman back from their meeting with the Prime Minister of Iraq. They were alright but they really only like to talk about politics. We also lgot to fly the guys from Bikes Over Baghdad. They are a group of BMXer's that come out and put on shows for the troops at different bases. I regret that we did not get to see their show, but we did get to have them up on the flight deck and spend some time talking to a few of them. Over all it has been an interesting few weeks and I hope it stays that way.
