I had the good fortune to get on an early morning trip with Bill over the jebel to Adam (?) and a few other places. Recall being bounced all over the place and feeling pretty ropey.
I seem to remember a 'van doing touch and goes on the mess roof at Thumrait, dropping flares for the rapiers to track, and resupplying TACOPS in some pretty inhospitable semi-prepared areas. It may not have had the glamor of the 'rat pie' 1-11's or the C-130s, but what a work horse!
Greetings to all those in Oman still doing the biz.
