Thanks Dalton!

I was in the USAF for 27 years, then retired from active duty, and now I'm in the Army for the last 15 years as a Department of the Army Civilian. 42 years total....

It was a career OF a lifetime but not FOR a lifetime so I am nearing retirement soon...

I have owned my Cessna 150 for 28 years! Eleven years while on Air Force active duty and the rest while a Dept of the Army Civilian.

The challenge of ownership on active duty was the moving to new bases, some overseas, and all the wars we deployed to for lengthy periods....I would often go for long stretches leaving the plane. Flying the Cessna got more steady after the Air Force...

The USAF flying was both exhilarating and at times terrifying. The totality of the experience was something I'd never change, bad times and all. Well, maybe a few of the bad times....

I was in C-130s like Mark Buchner, doing airdrop and then most of my time was in the AC-130s for close air support and troops in contact fires.

Also did time as a logistician, mishap investigator, forward air controller (TACP) on the ground, a commander a few times, a base opening specialist (in contested and austere conditions), Air Force One Advance Team, and a professor at National Defense University and now at the Army War College.

Accomplished nothing remarkable or of significance but made a lot of good friends in bad places.

My luck bad is now empty but my judgement bag is full.

Hope to keep flying as long as possible!
