That was one of the above average ones actually. Was at Incelrick and forward in Batman a lot right on the Iraq border. Now that was a shithole!

I just don't like countries who openly play both sides.

what happens when you warp the metal right?
 
Yeah I hear you. First day of Iraqi Freedom we could not fly across the border, well if rescue is not in place Fighters don't fly to full capacity. We packed up, went to Cyprus for the night, then Bashur Iraq with the Helos. What a cluster Feck! Syria keep misxle locking us when we were skirting by in the H-60's, then get to northern area and the oil well fires set off our countermeasures thought it was a missle. Lots of smelly pants on that ride.
 
LOL setting up the COC! Combat Operations Center! Lol we had to rename it when command started using that on the radio!

That farm field was a mass burial ground for Kurds that got hit with Ricin, not good.

I took off on a c-130 and we got an instant lock on our plane. The countermeasure were jet assist straight up for a few seconds and then a hard right that pressed your face into the side of the plane. I had a window and could see the sand and ground like I could reach out and touch it. We all thought we were crashing...wtf!! A few guys puking, not fun!! Just get me off this plane. We continued our flight, not many were talking.

got that fun ride, just once, and it was only a training mission but yeah, never again.
 
We had observation windows on ours, larger near the front to scan for survivors on the ocean. Also a bubble that would go into the middle hatch on top. Rode in that a few times pretty wild. The scariest non emergency ride I did was in Brazil, low level about 100' AGL with the rear ramp open. Instant vertigo for all in the back you see the land turning and you feel level in the plane. Like a vomit comet, you can never get used to looking out the open ramp.

we did map of the earth, combat conditions flying in Blackhawks once, wildest roller coaster ride ever. I somehow managed to keep the puke down, but it was hard. 30 feet off the deck, up and down over trees, powerlines, rivers etc. No clue how fast we were going. but they had to pressure wash out the thing when we got back.

I like the rides in thoise the best. Top speed is 180 knots if it has the 701 engines, 160 with the 700, not sure what the army uses.
