On trips of this kind, civilians, even though considered “Distinguished Visitors” are kept on a need to know basis. I have not heard from my trip specialist and so with only 4 days to go I e-mailed to inquire if the planned visit is still on.

“We are still trying to lock down a plane for the trip and were expecting to hear back from the office that approves military flights yesterday afternoon. I apologize for not being able to provide you with more information at this time but, until we get a plane reserved, we are at a standstill. Hopefully, we will hear something this morning. I thank you for your patience and I will let you know something as soon as I know something.”

I knew it; as soon as I would let myself get excited about this opportunity there would be a setback. But this could not be a major problem; after all, the U.S. Air Force has many planes at its disposal.
