Not Just Tanks

It has been a while since I shared any construction photos, and most of those have been of the massive fuel tanks we’re constructing here on base.  Our projects also include the means for connecting the huge tanks with each other and the airfield as needed, so a lot of pipeline is being constructed as well, such as that seen in the photo above.  Miles and miles of it.

The current pipeline project is the reason I can get great shots from so close to the runway and approach, like the huge cargo plane getting ready for take-off in the photo below.  Or the F-16 taxiing for take-off…

Another mortar attack last night on base shortly after 11pm, but as far as I know there were no injuries or damage.  It has actually been relatively quiet for some time here…  I didn’t even hear the things and was in a deep sleep when one of the guys pounded on my door to make sure of my location.  We all “sheltered in place” until the all-clear was given, which for me meant crawling back into bed.  However, tired as I was sleep eluded me for some time after that.  Go figure…
