it was saddening to see the c-17 leave for the last time (i spoke to the loadmaster and he said they would not be back for a extremely long time) this is the shot of its last take-off

Carriers would be so mush easier to land on if they would just stop turning!!!

The loadmasters family was lost when they where trying to find him... i showed them where to go and who to ask, the kind old lady who was the loadmasters mother thanked me and in return told me to stick around and when her son would come to get them she would get me on the tour too... i was EXTREMELY lucky
