Lotta gun pr0n, some airplane fiddlies, Hummer and vehicle goodies. And a patch that'll make AFSis jump through hoops. We'll be out of here on *******, back to ********* (and wireless), then back stateside on Saturday/Sunday to work on POI. Already made one student convert from fixed wing to fling wing and got a blue-suiter O-6 halfway through his RW orientation (simulator only thus far). Some minor booms around, but nothing close....

Some minor booms around, but nothing close. Say "Hiya" to the gang.

Carborundum is *so* happy, I'm sure. "Some minor booms around," he sez. I wonder what Carborundum (Bill's long-suffering Guardian Angel) has to say about that...!

Of course, I only admit that now that I'm back... 2007-12-11T18:07:11Z 2007-12-11T18:07:11Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2007://1.8475-comment:67477 Comment from kat-missouri on 2007-12-11 kat-missouri http://themiddleground.blogspot.com I was going to say, considering the TINS around here, "minor booms" could mean that he was hit, lost everything but the tail boom and still managed to fly it in. glad to hear all is wel. 2007-12-11T17:58:43Z 2007-12-11T17:58:43Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2007://1.8475-comment:67470 Comment from FbL on 2007-12-11 FbL http://www.fuzzilicious.blogspot.com "Some minor booms around," Anyone taking bets on how much he's understating things? I mean, to a helo guy, "minor booms" would seem to be anything he can see, hear and feel that doesn't actually touch him. :P]]> 2007-12-11T15:17:21Z 2007-12-11T15:17:21Z
