The first flying squadron in North America. Tasked with chasing Pancho Villa around the US-Mexican border. Currently the FTU for the U-2 and T-38A at Beale. Hail Dragons...

It comes down to priorities…unless you think that a $2 Trillion deficit (insane if we’re truly in a “good economy”) doesn’t matter, in which case, why have any limits on borrowing and spending?

Sad Day, always enjoyed refueling behind a -10. Great story about a KC-10. Panama Invasion, My Bud is in a 141 dropping cargo. The load gets hung and he flies around with the cargo doors open for a while as the loads are trying to jettison the load. They finally get it jettisoned but now he’s low on gas. He has to divert to Rosy Roads, but needs to refuel. Stressful night so far, as they coordinate for a tanker and begin the rendevous, he see’s it’s a KC-10!. He’s like, Thank God, and as he’s approaching the contact he tells the crew, “Engage tractor Beam” because the -10 was much easier to refuel behind, and the envelope much larger..
