Forward deploying to an "undisclosed" location in June. Along the lines of what you wrote, actually looking forward to the one environment, vs. the distinctly two different ones at home. :)

I understand that. I know a lot of pilots that did the deal flying the drones and the much prefer to be deployed when carrying on a war.

Best of luck in your deployment. Thank you for your service.

We'd have one helluva welcome party for you New!

He a whole heck of a lot of fun to party with. You missed the good times last month in ATL. Had a good ole APC reunion.

The 321 is a European beauty. Great for short hauls and packing in lots of peeps. It is not a competitor with the 757. However, I hear the NEO, with improved performance, might make it more popular in the US.

Having flown one in a previous life, I must say it was definitely an after thought to the 319 and 320. At some point a manufacturer needs to say, "Maybe we need to design something new rather than stretch this thing into obsolescence."

My intentions certainly were in jest.

Seeing how worked-up my son gets playing his video games, I can only imagine that flying an RPA over Indian country is even more so.

This is what Boeing needed to do after the 737-800.

Man, I was there for recurrent....and I missed it?!?!

Thanks Buzz. :)

I know what you mean...when I was on mil leave doing full time stuff, the home town grind with all the additional duty BS would make you look forward to a trip to the sandbox, where you only had to worry about flying. Plenty of gym time, limited family complications, etc... Usually got over it way before the deployment ended though.
