We were deployed to Keflavik, IC and it was one of the worst winters on record. This was just another day for us to go flying. The ones that had it the worst were the maintainers that had to go out and do the required inspections, dailies, and maintenance in that crap...

If, big if, I remember correctly, this was one of ‘those’ days, where we flew the 10 or 11 hour mission, came back, couldn’t land due to zero-zero vis, and flew 2 hours over to Scotland as that was the closest ‘divert’ base. We sat there for 4 or 5 hours, then flew back and landed at Kef. LONG day...

Fun times...for versions of ‘fun’... But what the hey, we were young and bulletproof...
