MD Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Our Squadron got inactivated today, how was your day? Tulsa I understand the 47th is standing up in the building and assuming the iron on the ramp; they have their own people, or is the 45th dropping its associate role and morphing into the 47th? Sorry to hear about the closure. Was a Dragons grad back in the day myself. Curiously, how was the Lobos picked over the Dragons? Any particular rhyme or reason?

Tulsa Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Curiously, how was the Lobos picked over the Dragons? Any particular rhyme or reason? I think there was a bake sale and we lost? Kidding for you historian nerds out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialD Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Curiously, how was the Lobos picked over the Dragons? Any particular rhyme or reason? They shut down 2 squadrons when I was a Luke. We were told squadrons were picked based on some kind of historical "point system." Basically, the squadrons that didn't see as much combat, shot down fewer planes, etc... got the axe. Not sure if there is any thruth to that, but it sounded good at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetter Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think Gash was sleeping with the Wing King. Hoss, can you verify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulsa Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Now what for you? They crammed about 69 of us into the 357th and about 47 into the reserve squadron. So we're getting our one sortie a week or so until the next VML thins the herd out a bit. Lucky to still be flying, but moseying out to Randolph in a few weeks to crush students in the 435th. Say what you will about IFF, but it is a blessing to be in a flying gig and one hell of a sunset tour before doing a touch and go at 20 years.

matmacwc Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Seems like Luke is going through the same thing only worse, even if somebody in another thread didn't believe me, too bad. I thought I'd never say it, but at least you'll get air under your ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
