I loved flying at night... night tactical in the 130 was a blast.... night assault landings to 3000 feet of clay.... oh yea.... then there were the all night flights to Mildenhall and Frankfurt from Goosebay.... watching the northern lights... yep... now that was on ****ty job....

Hell I saw the sun rise and set on 5 continents.... the expanse of Africa... the deserts of the Middle East... the vastness of the Amazon Jungle... the azul blue waters of the Caribbean..... of course that was interspersed with 9 months in the desert during our first war in the sand.... and numerous ORI's and other such silliness....

Overall it was a fine 7 years of my life..... heck even my time AE and S5 I have very fond memories.....

Even today... well that was cool in its own right.... taking the Citation into a 4300' uncontrolled field.....flying is still fun.
