Well, maybe.

But no, he probably is better than me.

So he does it.

And as we come in, it's like a talcum powder dust.

And I'm convinced, I'm looking at the display, and I'm like, we're going backwards.

We're going to crash.

Yeah, it's along those lines.

Except I feel the landing gear touch the ground, you know, and I just told him to go around.

So he's starting to pull the power and we're going to take off again and try to come around.

Hopefully the gun doesn't get us.

and now I'm pushing on the controls to make it go down.

To land, right?

Because you realize you are landing?

It's like, he got us on the ground.

I just got to get the forward gear down.

So he realizes at some point what I'm doing, and he lets it go.

And then the dust kind of settles, and we're surrounded by Afghan fighters and traditional Afghan- So now what?

well, now I got to wonder if he's the right guys, right?

Because there's no, you know, so the team leader gets off, right?

And, you know, in 12 strong, they get off and I'll hug and stuff.
