Not to derail but ... I grew up in Fort Worth TX during the Vietnam war. We lived less than a mile from Carswell AFB which was a SAC base at that time. KC-135's and B-52's were rolling around the clock. Anyway, one day a KC failed on liftoff, you wanna talk about something that will wake the dead, dang I can still remember it and I was like 10 years old at the time. It felt like we had been nuked ... Did it fail on liftoff or landing? It failed on liftoff
I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin Life really is awesome ... Soak it up while you can ...

Just an update on my oldest. He has finished up UPT at Laughing AFB, Tx and is currently training on flying C-130J's in Little Rock AFB, Ark. He will report to Ramstien AB in Germany in September. He is enjoying it and loves the C-130 mission. Congrats to your son. C-130's are a workhorse when things get real. Oldest brother flew them C-130's, he loved that plane, did his 30 and retired I fixed the hydraulics, flight controls, landing gear and rigged throttles and ramp and door at Pope from 86-93.
