Here is an aerial view of the mountains and land west of the base. This picture was taken on our trip to Kabul early last month. I always knew there was some green out there somewhere!

I spent last weekend at the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) at Al-Udeid AB in Qatar. Here is a look at how flat and desolate central Qatar is. Take a look on GoogleEarth and see if you can find the airbase (hint look in the center of the peninsula for a large airbase) Tough huh?

For those of you who came to the wedding in West Texas and thought it was flat out there.....guess again. Central Qatar is very flat, dusty, hot....and HUMID.
