    Goodwill trip to Iraq ends with scare for Rick 'The Hair' Perry

    AUSTIN – Understanding what American soldiers face in Iraq and Afghanistan got almost a little too realistic for Gov. Rick Perry and three other governors on a goodwill tour last week.

    Recounting his weeklong trip Tuesday, Gov. Perry said the entourage was leaving Tikrit, Iraq, aboard an E-310 military transport plane – the kind of aircraft Gov. Perry flew while in the Air Force almost 35 years ago. The plane's sensors detected a possible surface-to-air missile and the pilot veered violently to the right, throwing passengers against the wall of the plane.

    Flares were automatically discharged to confuse a heat-seeking missile.

    "It was a minute. A very long minute," Gov. Perry said. "You're hoping it's false – you hope it's not the real deal."

    The crisis was averted, but no one knew what set off the alarm.

    Wonder where Grandma Strayhorn was at?


    Friendly at Governor's Mansion in Austin
