A few pictures from the trip to tx

 All dressed up ready to play hero.
 We flew down in 2 flights of three helicopters. We were number three in the second set. Out the window you can see number 2.

 This is us lined up in Cheyenne WY. It was one stop of many for fuel. We stopped in Billings MT, Casper WY, Cheyenne WY, Colorado Springs CO (where we stayed the night, Dalhardt TX (they gave all thirty of us free lunch drinks and desert!!!!) Amarillo TX (we stayed the night there because of maintenance that needed to be done, Abilene TX, and finally Fort Hood TX.
 Above is a picture of the helicopter in front of us flying over the mountains to the west of Denver CO. This is where our stabilator jumped out of auto mode (which we reset,) and we lost one Main generator, Luckily the helicopter only needs 1 Main generator to fly.
 This is us parked in Colorado Springs, CO. We got to see Vice president Cheney take off in a jet before we took off.
And finally this picture is of burd number three in the second set flying over the Palo Duro Canyon out side of Amarillo TX. We moved to position number two because of our generator problem.
