Welcome and thanks for you and your sons' service. Maint guys in the AF are a center of gravity. When I was a back seater on one of the AF platforms, I praised the maint guys all the time. (After all, gravity is not a friend from 32k feet!! :shock: )

Personal: My wife and I graduated from Phillips University which used to be in Enid. We used to take our dates out a park on a country road off the end of the runway and watch night flight ops.
Night solo in the T-38 was one of the real high points of going through that program- thanks for bringing back a nice memory! BTW- my wife took a few classes at Phillips also as she pieced her degree together as we moved around-
It was a family school for me. Real sorry that it is gone. Quite a bit of politics involved there. My brother was on the Board of Trustees there when they finally closed and turned the campus over to the State. Or should I say that the State took it. That was part of the problem.
