Aviatrr 0 #7 March 5, 2001 Well, unfortunately, I won't be taking my rig on the trip.. I won't get to spend more than 18 hours in any one city(except about 48 hours in Perth, Aust.), and only about 6 hours in Tel Aviv.. I'll spend most of my time in those cities hanging out at the airport.. If we're there long enough to leave the airport for very long, we'll be playing tourist..

wingnut 0 #9 March 5, 2001 well guys wish i could tell you were i am, but i can't. it's "secret". it is warm and sunny and not overly hot. had a group of guys i know went to another base in the country for a jet and drove right past a dropzone. only two in the whole country and i didn't get to see it! :-( they said it was filled with cars and skydivers. man i wish i could jump..... i now have a semi-stable access to the internet, via satilite so i can't stay on very long at any one time. i miss you guys too. take it easy and i wish you all sunny blue skies!<> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtval 0 #13 March 6, 2001 how many times were you chased by those damn camel spiders?! ballsy son'sa bitches ain't they.they make the scorpions and pit vipers look like pus'as far as the weather goes, look like you lucked out. it was 155 when I was there. on the tarmac it was 185.

jtval 0 #14 March 6, 2001 oh yea,this may not have happened to you since the highs were in the 80'sbut has the (bottled) water frozen up on you when you opened it? weird thing that atmosphere.for those of you who don't know what the hell im talking about...we had to keep our water in the fridge (duh)or it would get way too hot to drink from the heat., but when you grabbed a water bottle out of thew fridge and opened it outside, it would freeze instantly. yeah, fukn wierd. thats what i thought. it's caused the the difference in pressure from cool to hot atmospheres. pretty damn cool to see though. picture a few hundred soldiers acting like mr, wizard...i'l leave you with that thought.blue onesjt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
