My name is Alf (last name and rank witheld, yet still a proud member of the U.S. Air Force). I’m a pilot in the U.S. Air Force. I was recently deployed overseas, flying missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom(OEF). Last year before I left, I visited your website and saw that I could get a Buddy Christ(BC). Long story short, I took BC with me to my deployment location, and BC flew with me and my crew on all of our missions, including ones for OEF (including on Day 1 of the war). I can’t tell you where we flew into, but just know that BC has been into some pretty interesting fields.

I’ve attached a few pictures I took of BC on the “dashboard” of my C-130. I wish I would have taken more photos where you could either see we were airborne or the unique terrain of certain countries. But I do like the shots of BC amongst the clouds (where he belongs).

Well that’s about it. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Thank you so much for making BC available. It brought much needed comic relief in very crucial times. He also became the mascot of my crew, which brought us closer so that we were able to work together efficiently. Every other crew was so jealous.

Keep the laughs coming. God bless the U.S.A. Go Air Force.

Sincerely
Alf (last name and rank witheld)
