How are my friends?

[Heiden]

Hey guys,

Long time no talk eh? Between the girlfriend and working the nightshift now I haven't had time for flying. I really miss the stuff we do and if I ever end up on dayshift again I'll definitely be coming back permanently. Right now I simply can't make any missions or training because I don't get off from work until 2400.

I'm in Ramstein AFB, Germany for a few weeks at the moment. I'm working C-17 en-route, it's a lot of fun. This place is as busy as a major civilian airport.

I've been indulging in local German quisine and BEER so if I get out of here without gaining 50lbs I'll be happy.

So what's new with all of you all?

Hey, Heiden, good to hear from you. Sounds like things are staying plenty busy for you over there. Glad your enjoying it. What other planes do you get to see that come through?

We're staying at it, trying to keep those pesky Allies off our favorite Mediterranean island.

Hi there!

[Specter]

Hey what's up Heiden, good to see all is well.

I remember this one waitress in Salzburg ... nothing enjoying a fine brew on a summer day gazing up at the Alps.

Yes I know it was Austria.

We get DC-10s, MD-11s, 747s, 767s, C-130s, and C-5s here as well. I've done a little bit of work on the C-5s but they're a nightmare as far as hydraulics goes. Horrible. Lockheed was high when they designed this plane. Everything is hydraulic and it all leaks.
