Though, should I live longer than she, I will have to be restrained from spraying a little agent yellow on her grave, I would say I'm more Fonda Jane than the Irish.

You gotta love this one...Weis goes on this trip to see the troops in Iraq. The plane nearly turns back on the way back home across the Atlantic because it is using too much fuel. Now they argue that it's due to headwinds...uh, right :slappy:

The visit to the White House, came after a 15-hour flight from Southwest Asia that had a few white-knuckle moments. Headwinds of more than 100 knots forced the KC-135 tanker to use so much fuel that when the nine-member crew from McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas got to Ireland -- the point of no return before crossing the Atlantic -- they considered turning back to refuel at RAF Lakenheath in England.

Apparently, a KC-135 was used after the original 747 broke into shortly after Weis boarded.

Truly scary considering the KC-135 can carry 120,000 pounds of fuel and has a range of 11k miles :o

BTW is Tommy Tuberville working part time for DynCorp? He's dressed like a contractor!
