Good morning Benzi,

The timing (9/10 NOV) looks good, but we do not think helo transport to Stuttgart will be possible. Could you send us the mission/purpose for the visit by location? I will look into helo transport and let you know for sure; however, we will need to justify the criticality of the mission and how we are mitigating any covid concerns. 

Additionally, do we have any info yet on a covid waiver from the Germans for travel? Is milair part of the required conditions for transportation? Let me know if you would like to discuss over the phone at all -- I'm up on WA this morning.

Thanks and Chag Sameach.

Team, 
We are looking at 9-November for the visit. 
Looking at going (perhaps) both to Ramstein and Stuttgart, via MilAir. 
If we land in Ramstein and do a quick 3-hr stunt there, is there any way you can arrange MilAir/Heilo transport to Stuttgart? Will depart to Berlin either early on the 10th or late on the 9th.

Gents-

As RDML Sweeney said today to BG Defrin- happy to host K2 visit. 9-10 Nov
are the days that should work (11 Nov is a no go due to Veterans Day). We
will inform our leadership of the plan to do this. Recommend starting to
work whatever covid waivers the germans require--sounds like you have a way
to do this in a rapid way.

Cheers,

Eric
