DARKNESS!

Okay picture a helicopter in the sky...flying along fat dumb and happy...well guess what...that pilot has full visual of all the scenery around him...his vision is unobstructed.
Now take me for the past 10 days....flying in a cockpit with everything dark...windows covered...total darkness...except one little image in front of my eye...yep thats what I have been doing for the past few days....flying the apache via the night vision system...it was rough for the 1st few days...it has got progressively better...but I still have a lot to learn, to become comfortable.

Anyway...I have been down here since the 12th of February...and I miss the family...wrestling with my kiddos, hugging on them and especially huggin and kissing my wife. It won't be long till I get on back home. Just seems for ever from here.

Just keep flying....just keep flying....LOL
