Just wanted to say hello from lovely Diego Garcia, B.I.O.T... I've fallen helplessly into the island lifestyle, but managed to work a little bit also. Here are some pics of my first paying customer, a B1, coming in for the break at 1000 feet, and landing on runway 13.

Enjoy!

Cool photos, Bo!! See any ATA planes there, lemme know I know they had a charter there a little while ago but haven't heard of any recent ones.

Yeah, I can post pics of the office.. Not much to look at, but it does have AC, a PS2, an XBox, and some other high tech gadgetry for "relaxation" purposes. Oh, and a six-pack costs $3.85 for the good stuff, $3.00 for the cheap stuff. A 5th of anything is $10.40, and I do mean ANYTHING! I'll be going on a mission re-fueling the B1's on Thursday, so THAT should bear some nice photos.... More to come. I also have a myspace, just like everyone else, you can find more there...

There's a reason it hasn't been updated since August of 2005... Maybe it'll be my mission in life to update it...
