On Sunday morning I took a 30-mile ride to Schuykill County Airport where our unit was setting up a refueling operation and air traffic control. Before we left, I watched a Chinook helicopter pick up a Humvee with a trailer attached. The Humvee and trailer together have the equipment to run communications for an air traffic operation. I watched the helicopter fly north. When I arrived at the airport the air traffic crew was putting the radios into operation and setting up antennas.
The refueling point was already in operation and fueled two Blackhawks while I was there.
The rest of the day I was back down in the weeds trying to get an internet connection to upload photos to FLICKR and Facebook.
