I Sure Do Miss It

The flight line, fuel smell, jet exhaust, the sound and just being a proud American knowing I helped build all 20 of them.

That’s awsome. I had a neighbor who worked on the very first F-117 at Lockheed Martin. In San Francisco. Small world kind of. We are a long ways away from all of that here.

Very nice. Never built aircraft, but spent many years with them ashore and afloat. I do very much miss those things... along with the sounds of sleeping under the bow cats or the 3 wire... and the smell of the ocean when turning into the wind.

I been lots of places in my aircraft career, seen some wild stuff. Nellis bombing range/Groom lake, Dreamland, Plant 42, EAFB, Tejon Ranch, China lake NWC.

I have lots of flight line B-2 pics I took. I have to baby them because through all the moving moisture got between the pic and glass, thats why they look funky.

(I know they are crooked..lol)
Pic on right is runway ops removing the B2 mid section from the C5 at USAF Plant 42

Left is early morning prepping for takeoff to Dreamland.

SHHHHHH, Dont tell anyone.

I also worked flight line with F-5, T-38, F-5G AKA: F-20, F-18

And few others I was associated with.
I went to Whiteman few times with the 509th
