Labuan (Malaysia)

Fortunately, the smoke had cleared somewhat when we woke up this morning.  After checking out of the Sheraton Subang and getting a ride back to the Kuala Lampur airport, we flew east to the island of Borneo. Our destination was an airport in Labuan - on the way, we saw the country of Brunei and some beautiful beaches. It looks like a nice place to vacation... After coordinating with our passengers and cargo, we took off again and headed east towards the Philippines.  We saw some huge thunderstorms on the way (shudder)...  Approaching the Philippines, I was relieved to find that the weather wasn't as bad as yesterday.  We still couldn't see the mountains, though...  After our busy day in the air, we arrived in Angeles City the late evening.  The sun was just setting and it was nice to get a break for a bit between mission legs.  We even had a chance to pick up some great lumpia and fried rice before departing - really tasty!  Our flight back to NAF Atsugi was relatively uneventful and it felt good to reach my rack in the CBH after getting finished with all the post-flight paperwork.  Interesting trip!
