SANTIAGO, Chile -- In case you're wondering, it takes 10 hours and four minutes to fly from Fort Worth, Texas to Santiago, Chile, nonstop on a modified 707 better known as a KC-135. It took me a little less than three hours after that to get sick and be bedridden for a day. But I'll come back to that.
My first full day of work started today at FIDAE 2008, an international air show here. There are scads of international generals, admirals and civilians of power from one soft chair to the next. The weather could not have been more perfect and inside the air show, things seemed to be well organized. The time change is actually one hour ahead of East Coast time and the night we arrived, Chile actually fell back an hour, so we all got some extra sleep.
