I am SO ready for bed! Last night I wasn't able to get to sleep until 10 before my 3 o'clock wakeup. When we got up it was the usual hurry up and wait until we finally got airborne just after 9. The flight was relatively uneventful, although it was interesting to see an O-6 have trouble with radio calls and position reports. On active duty an O-6 would have crossed the pond many times, but a reserve O-6 might be a high-time domestic Delta captain who's only flown over once or twice in his life. He did well enough to get us across in less than the predicted 7 hours (the winds get the credit for the shorter time of course).
By the time we landed my little headache from this morning was pounding from having a headset on so long. When we finally got to the hotel 2 hours later I announced that I wouldn't be joining the crew for dinner. I don't even feel like waiting for room service. I think I'll talk to e and then hit the sack!
