One thing we're doing in Iraq
« on: March 26, 2011, 01:27:04 AM »
We had a small victory here in the outfit I'm assigned to in Iraq.

The Iraqi T-6 squadron commander had his first flight with an Iraqi student.  Still a long way to go before they can manage their own flying program, but this was an important milestone.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.
