What about the Hueys? What are you working with at this point? Are you doing any of the training on the new Cessna Caravans, with 'hard-points'?
Just wondering about the status of the "New Iraq Air Force".
Hope all is well with you and yours!

Cheers!

There is no substitute for human, loving, touch.  There are, however, a lot of stray cats and dogs who have attached themselves to the bases in Iraq and AFG.  Furry critter lovin' shouldn't be too hard to come by over there.  No, it's not the same as your own critters, but it's closer to home than a webcam conversation with your wife.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/mujahs.html#comment-89609 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/mujahs.html#comment-89609 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 11:41:43 -0600
Leaving the furry ones behind.

SWWBO's gonna make me pay for that, but the reality is, you can have the mano-a-womano verbal and video interactions while you're gone... but scrup'l time is different, and the available measure of it so much less than humans have.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/mujahs.html#comment-89605 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/mujahs.html#comment-89605 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:28:16 -0600 ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/mujahs.html#comment-89604 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/mujahs.html#comment-89604 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:23:57 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/mujahs.html#comment-89603 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/mujahs.html#comment-89603 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:23:00 -0600
Nice backyard.

Never fear, by the time it reaches 92F, the er romantic Mars Haze (tm) will make your compressor throw a tantrum which takes out your internet acess as well.
