Dubai (United Arab Emirates)

Got up early and checked out of the JW Marriott. (one of our crew had a little too much fun last night...) We made it to the airport pretty early and found another great weather day for another trip across Iraq and Eastern Turkey. The visibility was so good and my map came in handy for identifying ground landmarks (saw more ancient ruins). The Mountains of Ararat were visible at border crossing. [Stopped for fuel at Incirlik?]  Continued across Turkish and Greek airspace until we made it back to Sigonella.  Another good mission!
