Chapter 313

It was another new day and another new embassy that needed visiting to day. The routine was beginning to be a habit. I was beginning to miss Jenny and the girls back home. Vicky was so tired last night that when we finally hit the bed that she fell quickly asleep. But it was a different story when she woke up, She has that look in her eye that Jenny had when she was horny and was not going to take no for an answer. A quick solution was to shower together and quench our needs for now and saving the best for later tonight.

We enjoyed a light breakfast. Our short flight today was to Doha Qatar; it would be just 500 miles, but first things first.

Carl Roe drove us back to the airport where we met Vance and Josh by the plane. I asked Vance if he had heard anything from the Gulfstream dealer.

"No, not a word boss, but they know we are here."

Because all the embassies left on this trip were just 500 to 700 miles apart we did not need any fuel and would not until we departed for home on Monday. With such a short flight we had a little time to kill to check out the plane again.

"Josh, Vicky, Vance and I are going to walk down to the plane to look at it again. Did you see if the avionics shop had the adapter you were looking for yesterday?' I asked.

"I did not to think to ask them here, while you are doing that I'll go check," Josh replied.

"While you are getting your part, if someone comes out I have an offer to make. If they don't, they can keep the plane. I am not going to beg anyone to take my money; that is just not my nature," I said.

"When we got to the plane we walked around the plane and looked at it again. The stairs was locked like before so we could not get inside. As we were looking I received a text that needed to do a VCATS with Victor.

"Vance, I need the APU started, it looks like this VCATS is going to be a long one," I said as we walked towards our plane.

I settled into my padded seat and fired up the computer, logged in on the VCATS system and accepted Victor's page.

"Good morning BJ, at least I think it is morning there. I just have a couple more things I need to add to yesterday's list. You need to get two more Black Hawks, two more 407s and they need pilots to go with them. The contract changes are in the email to Marcy. The hazard pay will apply to the pilots too," Victor said.

Victor the Black Hawks are not going to be a problem, we bought two extra in the military purchase. One of the 407'S that came back should be done by the time I get home and I think the other is 50% complete. They are not in as bad a condition as we were led to believe," I replied. I wished Victor a good night's sleep and signed off.

I sent Lorrie an e-mail with the new request and location where the choppers were to go. I added a note that I would call the Iowa air national commander to schedule a pickup for the two Black Hawks on Monday and to talk to Jason about starting the paperwork for the new pilots.

"Fire-em up as soon as Josh gets back; let's go, Vance," I said.

"Boss, There are people outside waiting to talk to you first," Vance replied.

"Ms. Jones, I am Abdul Mohammad. My father sent me out to negotiate with you on the purchase of the N397G that you were looking at. As you can see I am not set in the old ways like he is," the young man said in perfect English. I noticed he was wearing a UCLA class ring.

I introduced Vicky as the executive vice president of training and security of my company.

"Let me open it up so you can look inside. My Father said a couple of your representatives took pictures of the inside yesterday," Abdul said as we walked towards the jet with my representatives.

The pictures that Vance sent in his email were great, but actually looking inside it was incredible – the jet was as fantastic on the inside as it looked on the outside. It was a 2010 and only had 1200 hours of flight time that included only 600 landings. It had a well – equipped forward galley with the head in the rear. For the passenger area, it had the king interior, 14 plush heated leather seats with 2 fold out day couches that turned into single day beds.
