Flying to Virginia in the Door Gunner's Seat of a Blackhawk
Today I flew to VA on a Blackhawk in the door gunner's seat. I never had a chance to do that in Iraq because the real door gunner's had to be on the guns. It was lot's of fun. I put my feet on the window ledge to stretch. One of the flight medics in Iraq put his feet out the window on take-off. I flew over a big quarry and three-mile island.
