Wonderful shots and big thanks for your continued service. Stay safe

Ohiotinkerer; I bought my last Harley from Hales just down the street from the 179th airlift field.

“Hell yeah I like flyin’ with Fargo. We’re sure not gonna break…”
“Damn it Ben! Don’t put that evil on me.”

Lets ride boss!

“Clear left.”

Well, this trip was labeled a fail, as the Spoiler Control Electronic Flap Computer decided it didn’t want to play anymore. No Control-Alt-Delete was going to bring a fried power supply back from the dead. Had to sit at Andrews waiting for the backup airplane to bring me one, then watch it take the cargo we were going to haul. Thus, continues the legend of 61sick6. Oh well, can’t win them all.

Image

Wait a minute. It was the loadmaster that jinxed this trip saying nothing will break. You get to sit in time out now!

Hmm, don't quite remember. Been a while now. I do remember having some chilled till the mountains were blue Coors Lite when I got home.

Easy day moving stuff around the DelMarVa peninsula. Comin’ in low around Quantico saw a big ole nice house on a private spot. “Hey Cap’m, put that shadow right over the swimming pool.”

Next up is a longer than normal photoset, but crossed three countries off the list with a two week trip to Singapore, Vietnam (North and South), and the Philippines. Also hit up Hawaii on the way back home. Great time had by all, so roll those photos!

Taking a few airplanes, so good to have a partner I've worked with before to have all the help I can get.

Image

Biggest part of a great trip is having a great crew.

Image

Had so many people onboard, an extra loadmaster had to crowd my spot where I normally can stretch out. “Shouldn’t you be downstairs saying, “Check completed.” Or something?”

Image

North to Alaska for a front end crew change. No time limits for crew chiefs or security though, so it’s gonna be a 32 hour 4 stop trip in total by the time I get in a bed.

Image

35 hours later after waking up and starting a half a world away, arrived to a kickass nice room at a hotel in Singapore.

Image

Dinner time!

Image

Rooftop pool.

Image

Fancy room.

Image

Fancy bathroom.

Image

This one is actually out of order from later on in Vietnam, but still looked cool.

Going up.

Image

Asked the taxi lady to take us hammer down big time to somewhere cool. She had quite the gadget setup.

Image

We were dropped off at the Marina Bay Sands casino. One of my security guys got a little too excited about it.

Image

“Where does this elevator go?” “It goes up.”

Image

Rooftop views of Bayfront Subzone, Downtown Core, Singapore.

Lunch time.

Image

Image

I forgot my swimmin’ shorts, but wanted to use the rooftop pool. While we were exploring the Marina Bay Sands casino, I sent my partner FCC that was afraid of heights to get me a pair from the mall. Great color choice. Thanks. A lot.

Image

Oh well, the pool is nice.

Image

Well Singapore, it has been nice, but we are loaded up and ready to ride. The loadmaster has CCR cued up to play on the PA system, because next stop VIETNAM!!!

Comin’ in hot to Vietnam like a wild weasel.

Fire services.

Look at that sexy new piece of Boeing. The flag at the top of the tail made me double take.

“Quick, lock the door, and then maybe he’ll go away.”
