"it wasn't me"

This is from my brother in Iraq... scary how close we can come... death was only 10 minutes behind...

Not too sure how many of you heard about the Blackhawk that crashed near Tal Afar this past weekend. Well, just wanted to let you all know that it wasn't me. I was out flying that night, it was pretty crappy weather and we almost got caught in the weather ourselves. We were along the same flight path as the guys that crashed but about 10 minutes ahead of them. All of the guys I work with are fine. It was an aircraft from the unit replacing us in a little while. Not much else going on though. Just starting to get things packed up to head home soon.
