On the road again!

I never actually was on the road, rather air this trip, and my travels have taken me to Karbala!
It is the furthest south in Iraq I have been! I have mainly gone north and west. And most of the rest of my travel time here will consist of southern Iraq! It is about a 45 min. blackhawk ride to get here, and even though I have seen my fair share of sand and palms, and sheep herds, and cattle herds w/ shepards, I still love to fly during the day! The bad thing is you can see how poor areas are, but man, this could be such a prosperous country! If we had this type land in the states it would be used better, of course at the expense of a business trying to cash in but I'm all for that!
Anyways, I am lucky as I have always said that I get to be on the PDHA team as I get to travel to all areas. And I play a little paranoid to the rest of my team about being afraid of all the dangers of travelling, and well, I am at least really anxious, not afraid, but I have seen so much more than most people that stay in one spot. Of course not everywhere is great, well no where is great, but you know what I'm sayin!! But people take care of us when we get places. They show us the things that EVERYBODY wants to see!
Today I saw a lot of remnants of the invasion, as we attacked from the south 2 years ago, and flying south and a beautiful morning, you see LOTS of old Iraqi tank skeletons just scattered ALL over! I have great pictures from the bird, and not a lot to see from being here, but when I get back I will post them! I know when I get back I will have tons of email, so if you don't get anything, I can't check it from here!
Hope you are enjoying the weekend!
Later,
Erik
