Stayfree That's quite a resume'!!! And you've mentioned a couple of my favorites like the F-4 Phantom II (had the D models at Kunsan AB when I was there 74 to 75) and the A-7 Corsair (also D models at Davis-Monthan when I was there in 1975 and then brought in the A-10's). There are times when I wish I had stayed in for 20 but I believe that everybody who gets out after only 4 years says the same thing. Dan |
