The Air Force PAO sits on the ramp of chalk 1 for pictures.

The city of San Pedro Sula is the most dangerous city in Honduras and some have said one of the most dangerous in the world. Needless to say, we don't spend much time up there walking around sight-seeing. We fly in and out for training once in a while, but for the most part we stay clear.

San Pedro Sula, Honduras

Crossing the border and going 'feet wet' over Puerto Cortez, Honduras.

My first meal of the trip was Coconut Curry Chicken soup at the hotel.

I had the opportunity to head out the first night to snap some pictures from the dock. This is an HDR shot back towards town. Our hotel was to the left of the frame.

This is the bar/restaurant near the pool where we hung out in the evenings after we returned from flying. Their food was absolutely amazing!

The first day, the BDF showed up and went to work taking pictures in front of the aircraft.

Day one ladder training.

Brian took the controls and gave me the opportunity to enjoy my delicious muffin top my wife sent from home. It would've been great with an Iced Kicker from Dutch, but some things are just not in the cards...

Makin' it look easy!

We had it all lined up perfectly, just as they flew into the shadow of a cloud! Super frustrating as a photographer, but hey... what are you gonna do?? It was a pretty sweet sight to see.
