Totally Awesome Helo Ride

The coolest thing I've done since over here was the helo ride from Bagram to Kabul. A 15-minute flight over the mountains. And, somehow I got to take GEN Stanley McChrystal's (the top military officer in the country and often seen on TV) helo. I was the only one on the flight...along with my 4 seabags and 40 lbs. of textbooks. This meant I got to land on a soccer field right next to my base vs. the Kabul airport which is about 30 minutes away by car. When I landed, there were people playing soccer and they had to stop due to the wind gusts from the chopper. Check out these awesome in-flight photos.
