Looking for any old BUFF crew Chiefs out there

Hello Eggroll135r, Its good to hear from a 135 guy too, I suppose I should
have add the back bone of SAC tanker fleet to that. Are you still in the
service and had you severed in SAC as well as AMC.

I'm still in and at Grand Forks...There are still a few of us old "SAC trained
killers" around. I worked the B-1B's and then got transferred over to the
KC-135A's while at Dyess. I used to take a lot of ribbing from my ex-co
workers about becoming a Tanker Toad but I'd tell them I'd be thinking about
them after being released from work early. (Tankers landed Code 1 ALOT more
often than B-1's) "You enjoy your PCA op checks at 2200 on a Friday night and
I'll enjoy a nice cold beer back at the dorms..." That would get them to shut
up pretty quick! The other nice thing about -135's is that you usually
deploy on the aircraft that you are working on. No need to sit around waiting
for airlift.

I had work the A model tanker for 6 months at Fairchild when they had a
shortage of crew chief during one of the Roll Backs. I was offered to stay
with them, but has just come back from a vacation spot off the coast of
Alaska for an alert tour and did not want to ever go back. But I did kick
myself went after AMC took over the base and the bombers move out. I had no
choices, Dyess or Dyess. I would have take Minot to stay with the BUFFs.
I have been out for about 5 years not and just moved from Minnesota to my
wife's home state of Missouri in July 03. how's the weather up there.
