Sigonella, Sicily (Italy)

Woke up to unbelievable clear skies! Crisp and cool, wish we could stay... Manned up just after sunrise and airborne around 0700. Great flight over to the Ship - saw Crete on the way. They were near Egypt and we found some of our mates waiting for us with calls of "Guten Tag." It seems like forever since I was "home" (not that I missed it). This definitely qualifies as a once-in-a-lifetime trip...
