Gran Canaria

I went on my first TDY with NATO and I have to say, it ROCKED!!! We flew to the Canary Islands on a Friday and had all day Saturday to enjoy the sunny beaches. On Saturday night we had a crew dinner at a Go Kart park and I entered my first Go Kart race, I LOVE IT!!! It was so much fun and I'm working on setting up an outing here in GK as well. On Sunday we had to mission plan for the better part of the day and then I flew on Monday and controlled Spanish pilots, very polite (they called me Ma'am whenever I told them a turn). On Tuesday the jet had blue smoke fill up the cabin so they other crew didn't fly and on Wednesday we had a hydralic leak so my crew didn't fly. Thursday the instructors controlled so I didn't fly and then we returned on Friday. In between I ate at least 4 new kinds of fish and had about half my dinners with the Italian's in the group. The cows were in front of La Casa Vieja where we ate dinner. What a memorable trip, even the Nude Beach part:)
