And the Prius was outta gas only 40 miles left on the battery, the bike had a flat tire, and the airplane got wet…

But kudos to the Aussies I was working with!  I was oh so glad to hear “No worries”, and “No drama Mate” more that once as we jumped through the hoops…

Everybody is back in one piece, albeit a ‘bit’ tired, and we pulled another one out of our asses…

One quick update on the MH370 search, VP-16 is continuing to fly daily, searching under direction of the AUS command post.  They’re doing a thankless job, covering thousands of miles to and from the area; and hours of fruitless looking out windows for debris.  They aren’t giving up, and are frustrated they haven’t been able to do more/be more successful for the families…

I’m proud of those kids that are flying and maintaining those birds.  They’re doing GOOD!

And yes that is water under 429, it just got a bath, thanks to the Fire Department!  Those fire department folks were loving it, they actually got to get out of their station and ‘do something good’ in their words, for a change… 🙂
