Well that was a fun trip, but I'm glad to be home. got to shoot some missiles off the USS Abe Lincoln
. I love my job! They flew me on and off the ship when I got there and left after we were done and let me tell you, if you haven't experienced landing on an aircraft carrier in a plane, its very...um...different. First of all, you're sitting in the plane backwards in a 4 point harness. when you land and the plane catches the catch wire that stops the plane, you go from however fast the plane is going (I wanna say somewhere 100 and 200 knots) to stopped in roughly 6 seconds. then leaving the sip is an interesting ordeal too. You pretty much get flung off the end of a ship at about 200 knots (from a dead stop of course) pulling god knows how many G's going backwards.
Well, thats pretty much the highlights of my trip. Now that I'm home I can break in that new CG after catching up with the fandamily.
I'm hoping to smoke up a whole mess of stuff on Saturday, ABT's, Fattys, a Brisket, maybe a butt and a couple racks of ribs.
