We had a visitor on Thursday. The flight was a simulated air drop over Ouray. This area is much like foreign mountainous countries where the Air Force has to fly. The plane was a C-17 Cargo plane. It is a very large cargo plane which can hold two tanks, several airplanes (wings removed) and many troops. It was good to see a fine performance of our military that was given us today. It was a perfect decent from high altitudes through the valley between the mountains and a perfect drop of goods on Ouray. Unfortunately, I had a camera malfunction after only a few shots. It was amazing to watch the precision with which the pilot brought the planes through the valleys and out the north end of town.
