Tweets of the Day

• 02:04 Hi to @bmaldonado, @nduhoski, @jozeran #
• 09:58 Watching the local TV news coverage of the terrible fires in the Sylmar area… 600 homes or more in one area burned. #
• 10:01 That’s it! I’m going to the Y and actually working out this morning. Please alert the media. #
• 10:05 Hello to @johnmac13 #
• 14:53 Hanging out at American Girl with my kid. She wants one of everything. #
• 14:57 Now she wants to go to Barnes & Noble… And buy one of everything. #
• 14:59 Artie Lange is doing a book singing and there must be 400 people in a line that weaves all through the store. #
• 15:01 Damn spell check changed signing to singing… #
• 15:05 @irinaslutsky But I was just going to try to sell the same thing! #
• 17:30 Air Force Week Updates: OK, so here comes the remainder of the analog tweets I wrote while on the C17 flight on Wednesday, 76 hrs ago… #
• 17:34 76 hrs ago: So the pilots are on a training mission today – learning how to do a mid-air fuel transfer. #
• 17:36 76 hrs ago: The thud we just heard was the boom from the other plane connecting to our plane, just behind the pilots. #
• 17:40 76 hrs ago: Next, they’re going to cycle us through the cockpit. #
• 17:42 76 hrs ago: Like the general said: 25,000 feet, 500 MPH, 20 feet apart… what could go wrong with that? #
• 17:46 76 hrs ago: My actor friend, Conrad Bachmann, is eating grapes, salami and cheese – a picnic during the military flight! #
• 17:48 76 hrs ago: Another big thud – another run at hooking up the boom. #
• 17:48 76 hrs ago: So it’s a little bumpy because we’re in the wake of the jet stream of the KC135R. #
• 17:48 76 hrs ago: The first two passengers have been swapped out in the cockpit; the second set are up there now. #
• 17:50 76 hrs ago: I think it would take me a little while to sort out the various ranks… like sorting out all the different producer titles. #
• 17:52 76 hrs ago: You can tell when we get really close to the other plane – it gets rocky on this one. #
• 18:04 76 hrs ago: Big smiles on the faces of the two civilians who just came down from watching the refueling in the cockpit. #
• 18:06 76 hrs ago: There’s a loud hissing noise as the fuel is pumped into large tubes running down the inside of the fuselage. #
• 18:08 76 hrs ago: There’s also a medical team going though training on this flight. #
• 18:08 76 hrs ago: Did I mention it’s a three hour flight? Kind of like Gilligan’s trip on the SS Minnow! #
• 18:10 76 hrs ago: BIG bump a second ago – and several of the crew looked up – didn’t seem normal. But no biggie, we’re tough guys! #
• 18:12 76 hrs ago: And now we can all walk around! #
• 18:16 76 hrs ago: Went up in the cockpit! WOW… Am also convinced that no one actually knows what all those switches are for. #
• 18:20 76 hrs ago: Just did an interview for the publicity wing of the Air Force, on board the C17, with Lt. Col Hamm. #
• 18:24 76 hrs ago: Just saw the Grand Canyon from 25,000 feet! #
• 18:26 76 hrs ago: Talking with the medical crew on board the C17. They do amazing things while balancing for turbulence! #
• 18:30 76 hrs ago: The C17 is the aircraft you see them drop Jeeps and trucks and things on parachutes out the back hatch. #
• 18:36 76 hrs ago: The C17 also has side doors for parachute troops. #
• 18:40 76 hrs ago: Major Reimann, who’s assigned to a four star general, is a reservist who got called up full time in August. #
• 18:52 76 hrs ago: Alright, we’re being asked to sit and put on our seatbelts, going in for the landing. #
• 18:58 76 hrs ago: Wait a minute, just did a 3 hour flight and I’m back where I started from? Not used to that! #
• 18:58 76 hrs ago: You think the engines braking on an airliner are loud? Try four C17 engines! #
• 19:00 76 hrs ago: Just landed and while we were still rolling down the runway, they opened the back hatch! Very cool. #
• 19:00 76 hrs ago: By the way… the flight was scheduled for 3 hours… and was EXACTLY 3 hours, to the minute. Go Air Force! #
• 19:02 Air Force Week: That was the last of the tweets written while on the C17 flight. The Air Force was amazing, the day was awesome! #
