We received this letter about Stanley today!
Until Next Time,
Dear Students,
Here are a few of Flat Stanley when he came to visit us in South West Asia. In the first picture, Stanley was able to try his hand at being a Co-pilot on an EC-130 combat aircraft. he did really good. In this next picture Stanley is performing scanner duties looking for enemy movement on the ground so he can relay information to the U.S. and Coalition Troops on that might be heading through this area.
Stanley was also able to look out the rear windows on the aircraft to observe the Euphrates river down below. This is a major source of water for a lot of the Middle East. This particular section that he is looking at is in Iraq!
Here Stanley is inspecting the door to make sure they are operational before any drops can happen.
After the inspections are done, Stanley decided to put on a parachute and get ready for a nice jump to the ground below.
Stanley is getting to hang out with me for a bit. We have to be on oxygen for flights above 10,000 feet when the aircraft is unpressurized.
Once we drop below 10,000 feet we can remove our breathing mask.
Here Stanley is scanning the engines on the aircraft to ensure no battle damage has occurred while we were low to the ground.
Stanley had a really great adventure with us and I hope he gets to visit again to see other exciting and new things.
Your friend,
Doug
