So Lajes is off the coast of Portugal in the Azores. The the approaches are over water and it is amazing. It was a pretty cool place when I got there. The next day was a long day. I was up at 0200z for a 0300 alert time. I was out on the jet at approx. 0430z until approx 0530z. We where at the jet again at 0630z and left the jet at 1600z pulling a man ground spare with a 35K defuel if the jet did not take off. That was a long day. That night was not much also. We went to the club on base and sat and the others had drinks of the adult kind. I pounded one frappacino for a quick wake-up burst then the second right after was a slow mover. Here are some pictures of the trip. Enjoy.
