Okay, I don't know about "global" warming, but it's definitely hotter than it's supposed to be here in southern Iraq right now. I realize this is sort of a recurring theme. I know, it's kind of like, "why is it hot?" ... and Sam Kinison screams back at me "Because you're in the F%&*@# desert !!!"
But seriously, according our (admittedly limited) climatology, the previous Record High for this month was

I swear, give the deployed Army guys some lumber, tools and a bit of time, and they will build themselves some pretty cool toys.

I did a lot things pretty similar to what I'm now doing here lately with the pictures and articles. I posted quite a few "Hawaii Pictures of the Day", along with articles about people, places and events.

I like airplane pictures, and I like sun rises. Every once in a while I'm in the right place, at the right time, with the right lens on my camera .. as I was this morning when this C-17 was taking off into a nice orange early morning sky.
When I first started project365, I wasn't really planning to take many pictures of the aircraft around the base. However, over the past 2
