I wanted everyone to know that I wasnt ignoring the forum the past few weeks. I had been TDY with the Air Force to Romania. I just returned last night. I figured since I was offline for a while I would reintroduce myself. Ha Ha
It was very hot while we were there. Usually 100+ everyday. Real hot when you have to be outside all day for 12 hours plus. Our F-16s flew against the old Russian Mig-21 flown by the Romanians. Here is a picture of whats left of their Mig-29 fleet. 17 aircraft that havent flown since 2000. They cant afford to fix them.
Time off was good though. We got to stay on the Baltic. The area we stayed was a tourist area so it was pretty nice. Lots of cheap beer!! Us GIs love cheap beer. The rest of the country resembles a poor third world country. They are trying to work their way into the EU. Their trying hard to build up after years of Russian repression. For the most part they love Americans. All in all it was a good TDY but I am glad to be home again.
A hearty hello to all again,
Kyle
