Friday July 17, 2009 - Flight Commanders



I have worked for some great Flight Commanders over my 17 years in the guard and I am pictured here with two of the finest. Fig got catapulted into his current position and D flight has consistently honchoed the funnest bunch of pilots on campus in Balad - all while mostly staying out of trouble. Beef got hired at Buckley with me in 1998 and was my flight commander for years - to say we have been through a lot together is a huge understatement. I have always respected Beef's very direct, but consistent, approach to things. It was fun to be a part of his last sortie in Iraq (this time anyway!)

As things start to draw down each of us is grateful for our support from home but we will leave with a great appreciation for our fellow comrades in arms.
