delayed...again

So Rikk was delayed getting out of Germany. On the way to Germany he said their plane was making all kinds of noises that just didn't sound right. Then as they are getting ready to land the pilots announce that they have lost control of the steering, that the steering wheel (don't know the official name for it) wouldn't move, so to basically prepare themselves for a bit of a bumpy landing. Rikk says as they are getting closer to the ground, he looked out the window and their were about 30 fire trucks lined up and waiting for them to land. Not a very comforting sight! But they landed okay. He called as they were heading to the airport to leave Germany and were hoping that the plane had been fixed...fixed, I'd be getting on a different one! He said that if they didn't make it out on time and were stuck in Germany he would call me back later, if not, I should hear from him when he hits U.S. soil in Baltimore tomorrow. It has been almost 8 hours and I haven't heard from him yet, so hopefully that means he is on his way. Once again, please keep him and the pilots in your prayers and the boys too...I don't know what they will do if he doesn't get in sometime tomorrow.
