ozziecat35 I wish, dude. My company thought it would be a good idea to call me on my week off and send me to San Diego for a week.

Adler the cats out of the bag now. would you like an engagement picture?
 
Ouch! 9 days off contractual min? Or did you pick up?

ehhh, I picked up a carry over trip thinking it would just count towards my work days next month, but they waited a week until lines were awarded and its yea...a just very terrible pickup...sigh.
 
Not my picture, but way too bad ass to not post.

I wanted to send you a photo you might want to share with your readers. I know you've contacted us about U-2 stories in the past. Attached and linked is a photo we just shot of a formation of U-2 pilots in full pressure suits (NASA adopted the U-2 full pressure suits for the shuttle program) in front of a Dragon Lady on the Beale AFB, Calif flightline.​
As you know, U-2 pilots are now the highest flying humans in the world (70,000+ feet) with the exception of the individuals in the ISS now that the NASA shuttle program has ended.​
Pictured are 14 of a total of about 80 pilots currently qualified on the U-2. Less people have flown the U-2 than there are people with Super Bowl rings.​

Some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you.

I bounced back to a buildup line in Charlotte for September and ended up with 3 reserve days. Of course those three days fall right in the middle of the DNC Convention. I'd better get a trip with overnights because there sure as hell ain't going to be any open hotel rooms.
 
WacoFan, if you see me with a post in here tomorrow, I have something I think you're REALLY going to like. A LOT. I left the camera at home today, and walked into the most beautiful airplane in the hanger. I kicked my own ass all the way out to the airplane wishing I had brought it, as I was thinking of doing. I'll post a pic of what I saw if it's still there tomorrow, or if I can find it on the web.
