I could be wrong, Mike, but I would swear that I saw your photo voted on more than 3 times in the Military Movers contest. I know I voted for it. It may not be a military aircraft, but it is a contract aircraft and your photo is a one of a kind. Good job.
R. Mike "Jake"... replied

Thanks for your comment and your vote. I really debated entering it since it wasn’t a mililtary aircraft. But it, and a second contract aircraft for the delay party, did move our entire battalion to Kuwait where the C-130’s took over for the last leg into Iraq. So… in a very real sense it was a “military mover”.

Awesome shot…
R. Mike "Jake"... replied

Thanks for your comment, Anna. It was a rainy, drizzly day and that was fitting for the emotions we felt as our brothers and sisters flew off to war.

Oh wow when was that… My son was in The Gulf War…:)
R. Mike "Jake"... replied

Anna, This was my second tour. We headed over toward the end of Aug 2006. My first tour was in Feb ‘03 just before OIF started. Please thank your son, on behalf of the ole Command Master Chief, for his service!
Anna Larson
