The "fun" deployment where I'm at these days is the BD700 (a converted global express I believe). I think the military nomenclature is E11. While I understand the MC12 is not generally the most exciting mission on a day to day basis, it sounds absolutely riviting compared to the E11. None-the-less it's a cool plane, another type rating and the best part (from my point of view) is that the pre-deployment training is all of 3 weeks. It's my hip pocket plan for the next time a deployment comes rolling down. From the guys I've talked to, sounds like 700 hours in six months is a reasonable expectation
