Gander, Newfoundland & Labrador (Canada)

After checking out of the Colony South Hotel & Conference Center in Clinton, MD (0610), our Inspection Team departed (with Andrews Air Force Base duty drivers) for the airfield.  We ended up departing the DC area very early - it was rainy, cold and miserable in Camp Springs and I'm glad we left... Our airlift crew crew decided to stop for fuel in Gander - the weather there was clear but crisp.  From the North American Mainland, we flew all the way to Sicily. Played video games all day and read a little. Unfortunately, we couldn't see much below the aircraft because there were too many clouds.  Still flying at midnight...
