I think it was all those GD left over SAC Warriors!
Make sure you say "SAC Warriors" with some respect.

How did he get the Cat5 callsign?

Last year, I met a guy that took the early retirement from SWA and came to UAL... at 62 years old.
I'm starting to wonder if me doing the reverse of that might be a good idea.

Upthx: what's the story on the Reese AFB coffee mug? Did a relative fly with them back in the day?

In 1996, I was co-chair of the annual POW Reunion at the 560th at Randolph.
We got all four of the Pardo's Push guys there for the Friday social. We even got an F-4 on the ramp and had them pose by the tail.
It was the first time all four had been together at the same time since the actual Push.
Bob Houghton was the only guy we originally couldn't find. Keep in mind this is 1996... a lot harder to find people. Bob got word of the event about 36-48 hours prior to the event. IIRC he was doing missionary work in Africa. He jumped through hoops and made it there.
These guys got a hero's welcome. I need to see if I can find some photos.-

Your timing with this comment is more prescient than you know.

They said to post your own class patch, not your Dad’s patch.
Touché, Monsieur!
On that note, I'll post the patch from my daughter's class at CBM.
They had "Blaze Studs" on it originally, but that was rejected by the Vice Commander of Fun for who knows what reason. He's now the CC of Holloman. Sorry, HMN folks

Haha! More of a combination of no artists and a bit of ambivalence.
The other one we had was entirely too sexual, even for 1985. -

The trailer says they "shoot journalists on sight". I guess it can't be that bad.

... it's a lot harder to fake being fat than it is being disabled.
Oh, you're wrong on this!
Someone will be denied the extra seat, and they will file suit for discrimination.
"I paid the same price as he did. Why can't I have the seat?" Will there be data and measurements to see who qualifies? "So you're saying I need a seat belt extender... but I'm NOT fat enough for the double seat deal??!"
I look forward to the ensuing few months... especially when flights are full for holiday travel. Get the popcorn ready for this shit show!

It's just SWA being envious of UAL, DAL and AA: now, SWA can say they are "an airline with Wide Bodies".

After 20" of that video, I was done. I have no clue what point he was going to make.

Hard to understand how there could be tail issues. Hmmm....

Great... and funny... video.
Don't discount his knowledge based on his humor: he's got his facts right.
The more I read up on the A-37, the more amazing it is that this tiny killer hasn't gotten more respect in the Vietnam history books.
Here's a pic of the only one flying in North America. There may be a 2nd returning to flight status in 2024.
It's MIL thrust is the same as a T-38 in MAX.

Nice try, GearHog... but that's the wrong squadron.
Do your homework. Details matter.

@HuggyU2 So the short answer is you don’t want to pay for them yourself.
Do you pay for your nomex flightsuit?
I don't.
And I figure there are some boots that are good.. and free.
But buy away, Mr Rich Guy! Your Green Slips will pay for whatever you want.

Well, that'll just about cover the flybys.
Looks like Kwast is doing well. https://spacenews.com/kwast-joins-skycorp/
Me and a bud rolled through Laughlin when he was the OG, to give U-2 recruiting briefings. We stopped by his office to kiss the ring, and he had O-6 rank on... but only Senior Pilot wings. I think he was 6 years below the zone to O-6. Impressive guy.

What's wrong with the Air Force?

Quick thread off-ramp:
SAC gave us a patch to wear on our jackets. When the staffing was done, it was given to Gen Chain for final approval.
He ticked a checkmark on the drawing to signify he approved it. His staff saw the check and figured it was something he wanted added... and so they did. He had a reputation for being pretty gruff and supposedly none of his staff wanted to ask him about it.
