Terceira, Azores (Portugal)
Departed NAS Oceana in the morning and headed towards Europe. Stopped for passengers in Camp Springs (MD) and then for fuel in St. Johns, Newfoundland. In the end, it was a better trip to the Azores this time than last spring (see MAR 2006) - the flight over to Terceira was uneventful. We arrived early in the evening and checked into the Mid-Atlantic Lodge (Air Force Inns). Had dinner at the "Top of the Rock" with Doc H - it'll be fun to have him along. Everyone in very good spirits. Weather in Europe will be great this time - I love the Mediterranean in the early Fall...
