Space Available


I traveled to the States on a C17! What an adventure to fly accross the Atlantic Ocean in the belly of this airplane, all 10 hours and 55 minutes of it!

Terry is in Alabama attending the Senior NCO Academy from March 17th thru April 30th, what a great opportunity for me to visit friends and family in the Pacific Northwest, also known as "HOME" The timing out of Ramstein AFB was perfect, I was able to catch the first flight scheduled to McChord. There was so much room in the cargo area that a young Mother was able to set up a playpen for her little guy. he slept most of the way, happy as a clam at high tide.
All in all an exciting and easy trip for me, considering I am not the best traveler.............And of course nothing was more welcoming than the sight of Mount Rainier............... ahhh home again!


love and miss you all

Refreshment for the soul, loved the photos! Missing you all but somehow I almost feel as if I was there......paper or plastic? May your remaining days in the majestic NW be wonderful and your trip "home" be as uneventful.
Love to All-

I am so glad you boarded the C17 not knowing what to expect out of the trip, your very brave!
There's nothing better for the heart and soul then seeing your family.

so if I add a comment to does that make it overkill. For those of you that don't know a Green tail (C-17)is the most awesome ride going. Best way to go if you can get it. The other cool thing is green tails know how to find Mt Rainier.
