A picture of me and the "Big Rig"

[ThankfulJoe]

I found out today the Battalion Commander and all the CW4s of the Task Force I'm attached to have a cigar club. One of them is personal friends (or at least claims to be) with one of the Padron family. All I know is they got like 15 boxes of cigars a while back including #2000s, #3000s, and even some 1926s. Maybe the next year won't be too bad after all.

Pretty terrible. It's like flying in molasses. The air is pretty thin up here, and they respond a lot slower than down at sea level. The engines also aren't big fans of flying at 10,000'+.

With the exception of one tour in Germany, I was always a light guy so I didn't get a whole lot of up close and personal exposure to the 64s. I do remember how much I appreciated the AH-1s and later the 58Ds being on station when I needed them.

Keep on making it highly unsafe to be a bad guy.

We need a picture of you smoking a cigar while flying it (or at least in the driver's seat)
