We got picked up by the bus at noon, drove two hours, and pulled into Camp Eagle. At the gate 1st. Sergeants Verella and Brown hopped in the bus and right away we knew we were going to be having some fun. They gave us a quick tour of the place before walking us threw a hangar and out onto the airfield.
We got as close as you could to flying an Apache without actually doing it. We spent about an hour watching "birds" take off and land before we all actually hopped in one and got to see the controls first hand. We thought that was awesome but it only got better. From there we headed over to a flight simulator where we all got to spend 15-20 minutes piloting and gunning from an Apache cockpit. Unbelievable! We think Garrett and Chris might actually sign up after today. They spent a long time in there blowing stuff up and Garrett actually "hovered" the Apache which we are told is very hard to do.
After a few hours of standing in awe we got to play a show for these guys. And they were ready to rock. Probably the rowdiest crowd we've had yet. Clearly, Camp Eagle knows how to have a good time. Since this was our last show in Korea we got to hang out for a while after the show before we headed back to Seoul and those were a couple of hours we know we won't ever forget. We had a blast and we hope they did too!!!
Gunfighters!
