Made it to Kyrgyz Republic

Well I made to Manas which is in the former Soviet Union and now the Kyrgyz Republic. The flight is always long and tough. We left Baltimore in the middle of the night, landed in Germany, then to a base in Turkey and finally here where we await further transport. The flight crew was nice enough and they tried to feed you every 4-6 hrs but the 24 hr journey is rough. As we were flying in I was struck by some of the desolate and uninhabited land we were flying over...then out of no where came a view of the snow capped Himalaya Mountain range. As experiences go, I'm not sure I will ever have a chance to see that again. The computers here at this base are still generous with websites, so I figured I would take advantage and make another post. Until next time.....
