- Location
- far enough away
1. a big Boeing with a flip-up nose, was at least a 747, but I think bigger. No markings except the tail number. 
2. a minesweeper!-- had wheels on the front, tracks in back, and a big set of flailing chains. It was on a flatbed, heading south on the base road.
3. CUCV pickup with Hummer rims, and no lift. So I guess you CAN fit 37's on a stock GM 1-ton. Good to know. But they don't wheel here. Mines. See 2.
4. the cleanest up-armored Hummer yet, super clean design. For the "security forces", and they are rocking a box-fed .50 on the roof. With a safari cover thing for shade.
5. a tiny black man from the Kingdom of Benin. We are training some of their troops. He was really small. And very friendly, we had dinner with him.
6. afterburners glowing blue in the night sky, from an F15 I think. They are so loud, it's like being inside thunder I tell you, and I don't think I could EVER get tired of seeing them take off.
7. a C17 doing a combat landing, which looks a lot like a crash and must be a hoot from the cockpit. Just a big corkscrew dive, right into the runway.
8. a Predator taking off. They sound like angry snowmobiles to me, and look kind of a like a retarded flying fish with a bulbous head. But they mean NO PILOTS to crash or be captured, and I love them.
9. the full moon over the Afghan plains-- the sky here is kind of a glowy purply gray at night, due to the dust I think... but it's a different COLOR too.
10. Attack ships burning off the shoulder of Orion.
that is all
