Echo Killer Yankee Tango

:) Today was cool. Torben, a guy from my Rotary club, took me to work with him. He is in charge of Air Traffic Control at the Aalborg airport. So I spent the day in the control tower, and cruising the runways in the flashy light car. It was pretty awesome. The airport is half civilian and half military, which is cool because they split the costs for fire crews and things of that nature. So I also got to see some of the military side of things, which was interesting. We looked at a couple of old fighter jets, and where the military has their fuel stored, and the bunkers that the Americans built when we were terrified of Russians. Torben told me that they have to leave them there even though they don't use them because they're almost impossible to get rid of. So instead, they store tons of fireworks in them. He also told me that George HW built a bunch of them for Saddam back when they were buds, which caused the US Military a lot of trouble during the first conflict over there. Speaking of soldiers and conflict, I also something sad. Denmark has lost 39 soldiers in Afghanistan. I got to see a Royal Air Force plane bring home the most recent body. Saw them bring him off, too. From a distance, but.. still.. The flag at the main airport was at half mast too. Torben ALSO told me that there is a parachute club at the Aalborg airport. So Alex and I had the idea that maybehaps we could do a bit of skydiving. Haha. They offer a beginner's solo course and one jump as a package. Pretty awesome. So we'll see how that works out. Other than that.... the Harry Potter premiere was incredible. I move in TWO DAYS. Very exciting, very terrifying, VERY unprepared. I'll let y'all know how that works out. :)
