Hahaha, this was the exact E-2 flight that we were watching on the news before our last flight there. We had this guy that was a prior corpsman turned pilot and dieing to fly in to Iraq. The only flight he got was after the 18th and the war was technically over. He still gets pretty worked up when we tell him that.
@Otto- Moving personnel, some leaving and some entering Iraq... We had tasking lined up for several more flights (like 4-5 in January and about the same in February), but for whatever reason it got squashed. And I left the theatre around that time so I ceased to care.
