"Hey Terry - I just came back from a tour of the middle east. I played lead trumpet with the 571 AF BAND's Rock Band "SIDEWINDER" from St. Louis MO (Air Nat'l Guard Band).

We toured Djibouti Africa, Al Udeid Qatar, Ali Al Salem Kuwait, Balad & Bagdad Iraq and most of our gigs were outside. PDQ Valve Oil worked flawlessly.

I don't know how PDQ oil works in the cold, but it works like a Mother in temperatures ranging from 120 to 137 degrees, oh by the way, the heat index reached an amazing 160 degrees. Not to mention the occasional sand storms. No kidding, it was like performing on the surface of the Sun!

I am including a picture that we took in Bagdad at Sather AFB. Hope you enjoy!"
