PPL
I can't speak to the unsponsored route, but having dual given (via your CFI) counts in your total flight time which is part of the PCSM.

Tunes, Thanks for sticking with this. I lack the patience to have organized this ordeal. Fingers crossed.

C-17 Lands at Wrong Airport
This assumes it was an Active Duty crew that mistook the field for their intended destination. We are all task-saturated and our AFRC brothers and sisters have double duty as they manage the pull from their civilian employers and some of the AD-isms (PT, taskers, MICT, etc) that have unfortunately creeped into their lives. There are commercially available tools for the ipad that overlay your present position on a sectional and approach plate like Foreflight HD combined with a Dual bluetooth GPS that I spent the money on last year and it has been a great tool. I can see my exact position on any taxi diagram in the CONUS and position on an approach plate. Assuming they were direct from OCONUS, I am sure the powers that be will look at the fatigue tracker, pre-mission planning, briefings enroute/prior to descent, and luckily no one was hurt and the jet stopped on the available surface albeit the incorrect one. We can lambast the crew all we want and I am sure their worst critics are going to be themselves.

C-17 Lands at Wrong Airport
https://www2.tbo.com/news/breaking-news/2012/jul/20/6/huge-air-force-cargo-plane-lands-at-davis-islands--ar-437276/ Did they back the aircraft after landing? From the article: The nose landing gear of the cargo jet stopped about six to 10 feet from the end of the runway, said Gucwa, who took cell phone video of the landing.

Info on Ramstein AB, Germany
Take a cheap cab to Landstuhl for dinner then you have a few bar options, or head to Kaiserslauten in a slightly more expensive cab and grab dinner/bars. Have a doner for me, I will be in the AOR.

Attention Grabbing photos of sacrifice needed
I don't know if anyone here has been to a Chicago Blackhawks game (even better at the old stadium), but the Anthem is amazing and I still get the chills... https://www.chicagoblackhawks.com/player/?f...991anthem%2Ewvx 2 days before the kick-off on Operation Desert Storm, it is a controversial Chicago tradition, but the atmosphere and the energy is undeniable [ 10.

Charleston AFB info
If you aren't interested in a house and want to live downtown that is also a possibility. When are you getting down here? I know of a couple of my friends who originally thought it was a good idea to live up in Mount P or S'ville and now live down on Broad like me. I lucked into my place here, since I am living with a 19 yr old girl and a 22 yr old, both C of C kids. I pay 950 a month, utils included for a room and bathroom in a 2100 sq foot house on Broad St a block from King and a short walk to everything... Drop me a PM since I have a 4 month sublet you can check out while I am gone... Wacky
