and four more months to go. I am 33% complete with my second tour in Iraq - at least that is what it looks like assuming we keep our tour to about six months plus or minus a few days. About every two days equals 1% closer to seeing family and friends back in the States. I have shown a few pictures of the cockpit so here is one of the guys in the back. As you can see there are plenty of vacant seats on this leg of the flight but that is not always the case. Normally we carry more than two people but we are limited to 24 passengers per aircraft. As far as cargo we can carry up to 18 tons of stuff either internally in the cabin, pictured above, of the aircraft or externally using one or two hooks that attach to the bottom of the aircraft. I will try to post a few pics of our external operations next time we lift some heavy stuff. Until then - have a good week.
