    Welcome aboard Rich. I spent lots of time in Germany in the USAF as well. One of my best missions was taking Joe Ciccippio back from captivity. We flew into Damscus and brought him to Rhein Main.

    Nah, I only did my four years. Funny part of that story is CNN alerted us. We had just finished a crazy mission in Somalia that ended in Germany when we were asked if we wanted a high profile mission that would take us over our time limits. We agreed and flew to Turkey. We went on Alpha alert which meant we had one hour from the alert to takeoff. We prepped and sealed the aircraft (C-141). Ground crew/OPS told us not to worry we wouldn't be leaving for a day or two. So we went into town to buy pistachios (goofy I know, but that's what you buy in Turkey).

    As we were walking around, our Aircraft Commander went into a restaurant to see what was on the news. At that exact moment, CNN was reporting that Joe Cicippio was being transported to Damascus and would arrive in Germany later that day. He knew that meant us. We broke every transportation law in Turkey to get back to the base! 10 min before we got there, his beeper went off for the alert and we barely got out of there within an hour. A million things could have gone wrong if he hadn't walked inside that restaurant.
