I was still pretty cold. At 0430; we got up, packed our junk, and had a formation outside the hangar at 0530. We then packed onto the bus again, and they took us out to the airfield where the plane was waiting. We filed off the plane and went by a station the Red Cross had set up. We got a coffee or soda from them, a coffee cake, and they had gum + candy, and books for us to choose from too. Then, we had a briefing about our flight(s).

We were told we would leave HAAF at 0730 for LaGuardia in NY. Actually, we left at 0810, and we flew into Kennedy instead. We were allowed to get off the plane there for about 45 minutes. I took my towel with me and I washed my hair in the sink at Kennedy at 1100 this A.M.!! We arrived at NY around 1015, and we left there at 1225. We have been in the air for 3 ½ hours now, and we have 3 more hours to go before we land in Frankfurt, Germany. That should take us to 1900, or 0100, German
