This day trip was so cool it deserved it's own gallery... My boss sent our head engineer, Ion Irimescu, & I to Camp Anaconda outside of Balad to do a site inspection on May 15th, 2005. All I really cared about was the helicopter ride there and back, a half hour each way. Awesome! I wanna grow up to be a helicopter pilot now. Anyway, the experience also afforded me the opportunity to get some nice shots of the Iraqi countryside...
Okay, there are alot of these, so I'll just leave the caption the same unless I have something better to say... pretty Iraqi countryside with a gun pointed at it

Getting back on the Blackhawk for Baghdad
Another Blackhawk taking off, as I couldn't very well get a picture of ours taking off, now could I?

What should have been a really awesome shot was partially ruined by dirty Blackhawk window glass...GRRRRrrrrrrr
