Trip 021, Winter 2014, Maryland
076 – Bravo alert! Launch the jet for an important task! Through the entire process, no one other than one guy that did get the message that the trip isn’t needed knew we never should have taken off. We as a crew started to notice things were off when calling into the first airport stopping point, and they didn’t know who we were or where we should park. “Who are you guys again???” I put the jet to bed, as there was no user waiting to load up, and met with the rest of the crew at command post. By then it was figured out that the trip was scrubbed before any of us were even initially called to fly. Dover command poster from the previous shift wrote it on a sticky note, but not in the logs. “You gotta be shitting me!” Also, “Hey, could you guys bring the jet back to Dover tonight?” The pilot then turns to me, “Hey chief, you still always fly with an emergency six pack of Coors Light?” “Sure do on the bus! Let’s all have a drink heading too the hotel.”
077/078 - Shortest mission I had with a .9 hours of flight. Not a lot of time for pictures.
Put together a quick video crossin' the ocean again.
