So, talked to Patrick the other day, and he tells me about 30 of the Army National Guard guys being stranded in Trinadad. They missed their flight because of an American Airlines screwup. They were afraid that they were going to have to turn them around and send them back to Geogia because it was going to take 2 weeks of stand-by to get them all to Guyana. Well, many phone calls to Arizona later, an Airforce C-130 from Puerto Rico flew to Trinadad and got the folks and flew them to Guyana. So the Air Force saved the day!!!!
Welcome to Guyana!!!! Patrick welcomes some of the new folks in.
I believe this is an in-briefing....what a gorgeous setting....I think Patrick will be spoiled and not want to have meetings in the building ever again!!!
Pretty bird!!! C-130 Hercules came in with 30 Army folks from Georgia. I'm sure they were glad to arrive, and I know Patrick was glad to get them there!
She really is a pretty plane!! Patrick has flown the C-130 for most of his career, so I've seen lots of these types of pictures...and it never ceases to amaze me how long these planes have been flying, and doing their missions. She is a hard working dame, but I think she is beautiful.
So, there is another update on Patrick. Hopefully sometime this week I will do an update on the homefront.We are all doing fine. Missing Patrick...hating the heat and humidity...and gearing up for Bri's senior year, Bethany's sophomore year, and my last year of coaching Competitive Cheerleading.
Until next time....
I grew up as an Air Force brat and remember those planes well. Dad was a flight navigator on the C-130s.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pictures. And thanks to Patrick for his service to our country!
