64 MORE DAYS!
Tonight we had the best floor show we’ve had since I’ve been here! It was a real fine group with lots of original material and a very good female singer.
After I finished writing last night, I flew two TPQ missions - one at 2130 and one at 0100. I had the operations clerk come and stand the phone watch so I could fly them. Then I had another mission at 0730 this morning. So, I flew a lot and slept little during the night. So after my hop this morning, I went to bed and slept right through lunch ‘til 1630! Then I got up and went to dinner. Because I got those two TPQs, I’ll probably get my 200 missions. However, if I could leave right now for home, I would gladly!! But I have to stay here for a little while yet and the only “goal” I have is getting 200 missions.
I didn’t fly with the skipper today - and he told me tonight that I had “left him in a lurch” - if you know what that means. He said the RIO who flew with him was bad - and that kind of help he didn’t need. Ha. You see - the skipper is not the best pilot in the world, and he makes a lot of mistakes. Here I am being critical - when I should be positive! Seems I shall never change for the good.
