These Ospreys just beat us into the base so we had to set down and wait until all their passengers offloaded and they departed until we could move onto the main pads, offload our paxs and get refuel. The refuelers at this base are a little out of control with their paranoia about safety but that is a story for another time. It was fun watching the Ospreys depart - they don't look quite right but they work.

Ospreys are OK but for a real thrill...Chinooks every time. Two flew over the house several days ago. THUMP...THUMP....wonderful sound! Read an otherwise silly book with a hero who is right up there with God in his ability to do ANYTHING and the author introduced Chinooks as big and impressive enough to be on the same page as the hero (: I do not like to think of myself as either irrational or sentimental (but I do have moments...) When the CH-47's flew over, we both rushed to the deck and watched until they were out of sight. "Ah....David!" we thought both irrationally AND sentimentally. (:
