I just wanted to send my condolences to the soldiers that died in the plane crash in Iraq today and all others who have passed in the course of this war. One of my good friends from high school may have been on it. Today is a sad day..

 

Yea I heard about it. Were they just getting temporary R&R or coming home to the USA?

 

As far as i know last time i talked to her she was schedualed to come home right around now and was planning on going to college here on the west coast. At this point all i know was she was on the plane but no one seems to know if shes dead, hurt or ok. I guess ill just have to wait, I hope shes ok but fear the worst.

 

Wow, i'm sorry. My condolences to you.













no sig.

 

That sucks Being fellow USN I know its hard.

 

it wasn't a plane unless i missed something. it was ch-47 chinook twin rotor helicopter. if anyone here has ever ridden in one they know the thing is a friggin deathtrap. my condolances to the families but i's not really a surpise that one of these things crashed. they fill up on oil more often than they refuel these things.

 

I concur, its sad that alot of these military planes need to be replaced, and there is more maintanence time then actual flight time.h:
