This was my view at 0630 this morning, and we weren't done flying till about 1530. It started with a ride in the back of a 46 down to New River so the CO and director of OAPCI could ride in an Osprey on the way back. (thats Office of Advanced Planning Capabilities Integration – y'all heard we were getting V-22's right?)
After we flew the phrog back, we took a couple pilots and aircrew to Pax River so they could fly an H-60 back to Quantico. All of this was combined with giving some refresher X's to the new guy and dropping off some parts at our secondary facility in DC. All told, we logged 4 approaches as well as some actual instrument time while flying through some dense smoke in North Carolina.
Good times were had by all! It was only my copilot's 3rd flight in the squadron. Pretty standard day actually, flying phrogs at HMX… But it never gets old flying inbeteeen the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial at 200 feet!
Peace,

PS: I'm not done with the system theme, just wanted to take a day to post an update with some flying details… I'll finish the systematic posts with a 3 part systematic approach to something sensational.
