Well, I’m finally back home in sunny California. Although coming from being in the mid 80’s in Santiago to overcast and in the low 70’s is a bit hard. But I am very glad to be home. As much fun as I had down there, I do enjoy sleeping in my own […]

The final day of FIDAE is finally here, and it’s has been a very long week.  Hundreds of US Air Crews have traveled thousands of miles to do one thing: Establish relationships. And they’ve done a fine job doing that.  And the easiest way to connect with the people of Chile is to just be […]

Ok, first off let me apologize for not keeping this updated. For those of you who are reading this blog daily, you’ll notice that I’m a couple of days late. It’s been quite a busy couple of days, so I’ll keep the writing short and let the pictures do all of the talking. […]

Hola! Como estas? I hope that things are well where every you guys are. I’m rocking day 4 here in Santiago. Or should I say that it’s starting to rock me. The adrenaline is starting to wear off, and as should be expected, I’m starting to slow down a bit.
Yesterday was […]

Buenos Noches everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying reading my entries. While I’m sure many of you are looking forward to reading about my adventures at FIDAE and all the aircraft being showcased here, but today’s entry is geared to another aspect of this trip; the humanitarian mission. While the 12th Air Force is here […]
