Doug and Ksimboy,

I too had the good fortune to accompany HJ on at least one route. The one in question was a trip to MPA, I don't think it was a Tanker rotation, just a standard truckie route. After our long flight down from ASI we found that the cross wind on the main runway was well out of limits. HJ opted for the secondary runway, which to be honest, I thought was extremely short (not that what I thought mattered), I'm sure you chaps will know how usable it actually was. But a fine landing was accomplished. As you both say, a truly smashing gentleman to travel with.
