Hello from the Desert

[68sunlitgold]

I only have a few minutes to get this posted so I will have to make it fast.
I got here fine and time is going fast with me flying every other day. I HUGE THANK YOU to everyone with your thoughts and prayers. I have only got one picture but it is too big to post here so I will post it on my gallery pics (which allow for larger pics). It is of our plane in-air refueling behind a KC-10 with 2 F-15E's off our wing waiting there turn to refuel. It was taken by one of the F-15Es. Here is the link to the pic in my gallery:

Again...thanks for everything!

PS - I was starring out the window looking at the F-15E's just wish I would have had a camera

Hey Doug!

Is it OK to mail you something in a tube? I got something very special for you from a Ford dealer--as well as some copies of some of my things.

I just don't want anyone in the military post office to toss something "in a tube" for security reasons.

Thanks, and stay safe!

Paul.
