Narrative:

I was first officer on a military airlift charter, by the us govt, to bring desert storm troops back that theater of operations. I was part of a 5-M crew (captain, first officer, second officer, international relief officer--captain and international relief officer second officer) that flew legs from lax-lgw (london-gatwick)/lgw-ewr/ewr-lax. All flight operations seemed normal; however, I've been advised by my company that the FAA might be investigating the possibility of improper loading on this military airlift charter. The dates of the legs I was involved as crew member were: 3/91 - lax-london/gatwick; 3/91 - london/gatwick-ewr, ewr-lax. As previously stated, all phases of flight operations seemed normal.
