Robins AFB where I work, performs Depot Level maintenance, the most extensive tear-down of airplanes, on C-17 GlobeMasters, C-5 Galaxy's, C-130 Hercules, C-130 Spectre Gunships, EC-8 J-STARS, and F-15 Strike Eagles. It's a hectic flightline to say the least. A lotta chit going on all day and night. But we gotta get'em in and outta there. High pressure is an understatement but it's par for the course. It's pure aggravation at times, but it's rewarded when one gets airborne where it needs to be.
Wow that's definitely full on there Jason

My brother has flown C-17's but mostly C-130's. A few weeks ago i helped him put a new door on his house. As we were coming back from Menard's that song Angel Flight (first time i had heard of the song) came on the radio, he started crying like MFer, and he told me he has flown more than one angel flight. That is something i never knew he had done. SO PROUD OF MY LITTLE BROTHER.



Every time I hear that song I tear up.


I know this is probably a fugged up thing to say and most won't understand...but I'd like to go back, even at 49 yrs old, and do some payback in that sandbox on the other side of the planet. I lost my share of brother Marines and other service members.

My 25 yr old Navy son and my 18 yr old college daughter are fine...I did my best to get them where they are today.

I'd roll tomorrow if I got the call for an airplane ride. Ain't nothing like hunting and payback. Is what it is...

Enjoy your night fellas.

My biggest regret in life is not signing up. I was meeting with recruiters with Junior and just about ready to sign the papers but I pussed out at the absolute last minuet.

But I've got a great wife and two great kids now. Something that I probably wouldn't have if I did sign though. And that is one decision that I don't regret

Well said Ross.
