Yellow Dahlia

This morning Kathy’s dahlias are showing some stunning blossoms.

Yesterday evening we learned of an Air Mobility Command (AMC) flight from McChord Airforce Base in Tacoma, Washington to McGuire Air Force Base near Trenton New Jersey.

As a retired Commissioned Officer I, and my dependents (Kathy), have the privilege of flying on these AMC cargo planes.

We decided on the spur of the moment to try this out for the first time and fly to the east coast for a visit to Kathy’s Mom in Connecticut as well as a “drive-by” visit to my brother and his wife in New Jersey.

So today we bring the critters to the kennel, pack our stuff, and head up to Tacoma so we can check in for the plane tomorrow.

We will stay overnight at McChord.

Very excited; wondering what sort of aircraft we will fly on…
