Sledge Hammer Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Damn, I grew up in Newburgh next to Stewart ANGB and watching those Herks and (at the time) C-5's fly over helped inspire me to join the military and want to become a pilot. Truly a sad day. To those that were lost, as well as their families and friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
