Heres some pics from up in New philly, Pa. Its is right around Pottsville home of Yuengling!

This is up at the resevoir for our town, its called the big darn (pretty creative name huh)

A couple flex shots. I still had the sways bars still connected so not to impressive.

I nice little mud hole. Kudos to my wife for a great pic!

This was funner going up it but didn't get shots of that.

Ok to judge how big this hill is, look how small the rig looks, Wendy is standing on top of the hill and the pic just doesn't give you a good idea of how big this hill actually is, but it was fun as helll just the same! :shock:

Nice climb here with a steep break over down the other side!

And finally, playing in a lil washout.

Hope you guys like these photos!! I cannnot wait to get back and do some wheelin!!!!

Yeah that's back where i am from. You can hit either side of town and get up in the mountains and be there for days and not hit a paved road or town!!! It is awesome!!! But now i am stioned in NC and have to drive pretty far for some decent wheelling.

Thanks all!

Nice planes but now the best, I don't know bout that one man! I'm a fighter dude so you know where my heart lies!

Yeah I know, Top Gun and all that

But you know those guys cant go anywhere without us. I pulled some of your jets from SJAFB accross the pond last year. I might have some pictures here http://www.e-rak.com/MarC/gallery/ontheroad

No man I love the KC's. I flew on one of them about two years ago all over from Utah to the UAE. Nicest ride around. Well almost, my fighter rides were frickin sweet! Whenever i head back up to Pa man I will let you know, Mcquire is only like 1.5" hours from me. We could go do trails.

eggwhite93 · **Posted:** Sun Sep 10, 2006 6:57 pm

I could have been on that jet. I have done that run before. I spent 120 in UAE at the begining of this year too. Where are you deployed to now? Yeah let me know when you come up and we will wheel.

Yeah when i made that trip I was with an F16 unit then and I know it was a Mcquire tanker that brought us back to hill. We landed back at hill on like the 22nd of december and the KC10 just was taking on gas and heading right back to NJ so I hopped a ride back with them. Free ride home!!!

Oh I checked out them pics and that is my sister squadron, The Rockets! As for where i am right now, can't say, especially on a forum like this, kinda anal bought all that. But i will say it ain't as bad as soem places over here. :wink:
