Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon: Airman to run half-marathon in full uniform, 168-pound pack "On Sunday during the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, Brustad will run the half-marathon in his Air Force uniform, including boots, carrying a 168-pound pack on his back in memory of the 168 lives lost in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building." http://newsok.com/oklahoma-city-memorial-marathon-airman-to-run-half-marathon-in-full-uniform-168-pound-pack/article/3669304 Watched this Staff Sargent hike the last mile to the finish line this morning to a standing ovation by the crowd. Pretty awesome event to witness, read the rest of the article to see the other world records he has set in memory of those who died. *Side note: he only weighs a 140lbs.

CAPTION: USAF Lt. Col. James Routt, an HC-130P Combat King aircraft pilot with the 550th SOS, waits to taxi after transporting two injured Afghan patients to Kandahar Airfield, Kandahar, Afghanistan, April 9, 2012, for treatment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Greg Biondo) Got this from a friend's post about the pic: "A true living legend! A 1970 Oregon State Beaver Alumnus, Lt Col Jim Routt is the oldest flying pilot in the USAF. He started his carrer in the B-52 and was involved in planning the famous Linebacker II operation in Vietnam. Now, over 40 years later, he is flying Combat Kings in Afghanistan." Much respect --- PK...
