Quote of the Day
Once you have learned to fly your plane, it is far less fatiguing to fly than it is to drive a car. You don't have to watch every second for cats, dogs, children, lights, road signs, ladies with baby carriages and citizens who drive out in the middle of the block against the lights.... Nobody who has not been up in the sky on a glorious morning can possibly imagine the way a pilot feels in free heaven.

|
USAF #91401
F-16C Block 52
Wore 13 mission markings and 4 HARM markings for Operation Enduring Freedom. The nose art is of a fireman at ground zero reaching for a soldier and large american flag.The art work is by TSgt. Robbie Leist and SSgt. Chad Marks. However, the 389 did not fire any Harms during OEF, so the HARM markings are from previous OSW deployments.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Digger"
One day shortly after arriving to a fighter sq as a female SSgt., I had a huge wedgie, so I walked into the Flight Equipment room to dig it out of my butt in what i thought was a empty room at first glance. I had been outside packing a ISU 90 for RED FLAG in Vegas so i was all sweaty and my panties were really wedged up my crack. I shoved my hand down my pants to remove them from my butt, then i heard a chair squeak. With my hand still in my pants, i Slowly turned to my right to see someone slunched down in a computer chair checking their email and they just had this look of utter amazement on their face. It was like they couldn't believe what they saw. We just stared at each other for a second and i then pulled my hand out and then looked at it. All i could say was "I need to sanitize," and then walked out. Later, earning me the name Digger.
