There were 46 passengers available for 73 seats. We had the opportunity to meet and talk with a number of interesting people. There was a group of Army Aviators and Crew Chiefs from an aviation unit headed for Afghanistan. I introduced myself to them and told them I was an Army Aviator and a Vietnam Helicopter Pilot. You would have thought I told them I flew in WW1.
There was another couple there from California. They were in their 80's and traveled the world in the military space A program. In the spring they flew to Asia and in the fall they traveled in Europe. They never made reservations, just took the first flight headed across the Atlantic. He said he wanted this chapter of his life to be as interesting as everything else.
We had a great trip over, about 8 hours. We landed in at Spangdahlen AFB, near Bitburg, Germany. We took quarters on the base and made plans to head for France the next day.
