Pix was taken this year over Toronto, Canada. I served as SB7 in 1978 to 1980. Great memories and an unforgettable tour. I am now retired and loving my Vette. I think economics will continue to put the demand on the Tutor for a few more years.

Not just for Air Force Guys, I like watching the Thunderbirds, too. When I was in NFO training at Pensacola the 'Birds were doing a show at Eglin so they did a practice show at P'cola right after the Blue Angels did one. That was a treat.

I invite you to read the Complaints, Suggestions & Questions rule:

If you have suggestions for the improvement of the Forum, questions or criticism of the Forum or its moderation, you are welcome to PM or e-mail a moderator. Please do not use an open thread for such messages, however.

That would include, but is not limited to discussions about who has been banned and why.

The work on the Forum's volunteer moderators is difficult enough without having folks calling them out in open threads.
The issue has been dealt with.

Many thanks to you guys (especially Zymurgy and Steven Bell) who have supported me in my small attempt to give a little support to the USAF. Many, many years ago the Air Force changed and shaped my life, and I'm so glad I did those four years.

My nephew Capt. Matt Morris led a flight of 4 F-16's at the air show. He is a member of the Capitol Guard.
I am a USAF vet and am proud of all who have served this great country.

Kev4....

What year(s) did you fly with the Snowbirds? I was a Buff pilot at Fairchild AFB, WA back in 1983 and finagled a ride with Lead Solo during one of their Airshows at Fairchild AFB, WA. All I remember was his first name, Stephan. I have his full name and pics (with him and my young daughter) somewhere in my memorabilia.. ha..

I'll never forget that day..... One of my best flying experiences ever....
