Do you plug that into the computer? Or does it have its own screen on the back?

Eh, we still used those a lot in the HTs.
An E-6B or a CR-2 or CR-3? The AF uses the E-6B. So...I think we know your avatar and screen name is all a ruse. Next you'll be telling us you breastfed in the HTs.
Pretty cool pictures... But we went to Iraq a few days later... It was kind of funny watching the news talking about "the last" flight/aircraft to leave/"presence" as we were planning a flight to Iraq.
Yeah, I'm not surprised. All the news articles claiming that the last convoy to pass into K-crossing was the last military to leave Iraq were definitely wrong, since we took off once we knew they were in Kuwait (we had to remain a MEDEVAC asset until no military were left and we had no more mission). What the hell were you doing in Iraq after everyone was gone but the DOS?
