NTC Part 7 - Returning to Garrison, Army style
While flying back from the National Training Center at Ft Irwin, CA, nobody bothered to check to see if people were working at the tower at the Air Force Base we were flying in to. Well turns out there wasn't anyone in the tower at that airfield that night. So the aircraft circled the Air Force Base for about 2 hours before it became critically low in fuel, allowing it to request landing at another airport. Something about the rules saying that you have to actually be nearly out of fuel to change your flight plan. I feel safer already. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.
