I was off today. I spent the day playing PSP, watching the Eureka episodes I missed while on Op last night, watching FCLC, and making an attempt at cleaning the apartment.
The Op was a combo of a K-Duck, and Cast/Recovery. K-Duck is when the Operators(Seal, EOD, Air Force PJ, Whatever) toss a rubber raft out the door of an aircraft(this time a H-60, but can be anything up to a heavy cargo plane), then the Operators jump in after the boat, rig it's engine and drive off. In Cast/Recovery the operator jump out of the helo, then the helo comes back around and the Operators climb up a wire ladder into the helo. the brief was simple, four passes for cast and recovery, then 45 minute stand by while the students prep the helo for a K-Duck, one pass per helo for the K-Duck then after an hour wait there will be two more passes for cast/recovery. Unfortunately when it comes to aircraft there is no such thing as a simple plan.
